Real stories, from real people, that everyone needs to hear
It’s a Podcast. But not just any Podcast. It’s a mobile Podcast where I come to your general location in my Ambulance (a.k.a. mobile Podcast studio)!! Someone nominates or suggests you via a submission on this website (or you nominate yourself), I come to you (or near you), we hop in the back, have a drink perhaps, and have a chat. The Podcast will be recorded right in the back of the ambulance. My goal is to hit every state in the U.S. Ideally I’d like to record several at each location of a different type of First Responders. Followed by a big going away part before we leave for the next location.

about
Why Worst Day/Best Day?
Being a First Responder for just shy of 20 years I have seen and done things that no human being should be privy to. Without doubt the worst of the worst that life has to offer. I have worked hideous hours. I have watched parents question not putting a helmet on their child. When simply riding a bike led to their daughter now being covered by a white sheet in a cul-de-sac. Likely the same cul-de-sac they spent weekends teaching her to ride the very bike now lying under the sheet with her. I have brought life into the world. I have had to deliver the news to the woman who has been married for 65 years that her husband will no longer be sleeping next to her. I have helped to bring people back to life and given them more birthdays, anniversaries, and time with their loved ones. I have saved the life of child predators, and walked into the next room to honor the Do Not Resuscitate Order for a pastor. I’ve seen the innocent die and the guilty walk away without a scratch.

Episode 28: Brandon Gibson, Paramedic/Director Franklin County EMS
May 02
47m
Today I am joined by Brandon Gibson. Brandon is currently the Director of Franklin County EMS. Brandon discusses growing up in rural Georgia, how he became infatuated with EMS and patient care, and rising up through the ranks to ultimately being the Director of the department. Brandon is involved in many committees at the locaal and state level. He led the way at his department for developing and improving the care of stroke patients. He also discusses some examples of his best days at work and his worst days at work. As we've heard in previous episodes, small/rural towns have some pretty bad worst days. Brandons department and community are lucky to have him, and I was lucky to have him join me. It was a great conversation! Enjoy!!
Episode 27: Laken Hanson 911 Dispatcher
Apr 25
33m
Today I am joined by Laken Hanson. Laken works as a 911 Dispatcher. This is a world that I was very interested in learning about. Despite my own dependance on them, and what they do, I know next to nothing about what it actually involves and what it takes to do the job. It goes without saying that for each one of us in the fire, EMS, and police world have some pretty bad worst days at the office. Well, none of get those without them first going through a dispatcher. If we have worst days, they must also have worst days. We talk about some of those worst days and what its like to have them and not have the ability to physically help. Essentially when they clock in, they are clocking in to do nothing but talk to people having their worst days. I am extrememely grateful for Laken taking the time to speak with me. It was an enlightening conversation. Thank a DIspatcher!!!
Episode 26: CPL. Sean Adams, USMC (Ret.)
Apr 18
2h 9m
Today I am honored and humbled to be joined by Sean Adams. Sean served in the Marine Corps. He was involved in an IED explosion which left him a double lower extremity amputee. He discusses everything from life growing up in North Georgia, wrestling, his choice and reason for joining the Marine's. He goes into great detail on what life is like on Paris Island, going to "schoolhouse", his deployment and the IED incident, as well as life adjusting to his new norm and changes that he made with his life after active duty. Sean is the President and Co-founder of Wings of Valor Lodge. Wings of Valor Lodge is located in Eastern South Dakota, and offers world class pheasant hunting for disabled veterans, free of charge. Sean is also a spokesman for The Senise Foundation, and The Tour of Schools. Sean is an incredible man and human. I was extremely blessed to have this conversation with him.
Episode 25: Jamie South, Flight Nurse
Apr 11
1h 15m
Today I am joined by Jamie South. Jamie and I go way back in each others Emergency Medicine careers. I can honestly say, with this one I have seen the best of the best, and the worst of the worst of cases in the E.R. She discusses her journey in nursing from nursing school, near fainting episodes, life in the E.R., becoming a Flight Nurse and life in the sky! She is always calm, kind, and capable. Always a joy to work with and around, and is always wearing a smile. She also discusses some of her worst days, one of which hits close to home. I had an absolute blast recording this one! Enjoy and tell all your friends to listen!!!
Episode 24: Derrick Moody, Flight Paramedic
Apr 03
1h 20m
Happy Spring Break!!! This was one was a riot! One of my favorite conversations yet! I have looked up to this guy since I was in Paramedic school. He is one of the realist, most humble, and smartest individuals I've ever met. His name has become synonymous with HEMS. Derrick discusses growing up in Towns County, GA. and how he began his career in Public Safety and EMS. This man had a worst day before he even his first day, while on an EMT clinical in school! He also discusses several other worst days, and has one of the most unique best days I've ever heard! Derrick is an awesome Paramedic, friend and man. He also happens to be country as cornbread and hilarious!
Episode 23: Shawn Fischer Parmaedic, Nurse, Director Sturgis Ambulance
Mar 28
44m
Today I am joined by Shawn Fischer. She is currently the Director of Sturgis Ambulance in Sturgis, South Dakota. She discusses life in small town South Dakota, and life traversing EMS in South Dakota. I will say this, her worst day...... literally left me speechless. As an interviewer it was difficult as I was torn between crying and directing the interview. Truly heart wrenching, and a day I couldn't fathem. Dont miss her story!
Episode 22: Angie Roach, RN, Paramedic, Firefighter
Mar 21
48m
Today Angie Roach joins me in the back of the ambulance. Angie discuses her career as a firefighter and paramedic with the Fire Service, where she functioned as an Apparatus Operator (A.O.) and Paramedic, working in the E.R. as a Paramedic (with yours truly), and then becoming an RN. She also talks about literally the worst day a firefighter and crew can have. Its a good example of how crazy life is. This was her worst day, ironically it was a previous guests best day. This event changed and shaped both of their lives. It was incredible for me to hear both sides first hand. Angie is a great medic, nurse and person in general. She was a joy to work with and an awesome interview!
