The Real Fight: Discipline, Identity & Rebuilding Your Life | Gleidson Cutis

“The Day I Got Fired”

I never thought I’d talk publicly about getting fired from San Antonio AirLife. For a long time, I thought the story was about losing a job. Looking back now, I think it was really about ego, ownership, identity, and emotional maturity under pressure. This episode is an honest reflection on failure, leadership, preparation, and rebuilding after one of the hardest professional moments of my life.

What I'd Do Differently If I Started EMS Today | 25 Years of Hard Lessons

After 25 years as a paramedic — ground EMS, flight, ER — I sat down and got honest. Not about the glory moments. About the things I got wrong, the lessons that came the hard way, and what I'd tell my younger self walking into this career. This one's for the new EMT figuring it out alone. The seasoned medic running on empty. And anyone in between who's ever wondered if they're doing this right. In this episode: — Why your body is your most important tool on this job — Sleep, recovery, and why ignoring both will catch up with you — How your mindset on shift shapes everything — including patient care — The calls that follow you home, and what to do about them — Finding mentors who match who you want to become — Staying sharp when the job makes it easy to coast This job will shape you. Make sure you're paying attention to how. BE ALL IN is a podcast for first responders, leaders, and anyone who carries responsibility under pressure. Hosted by Raul Flores — paramedic, father, and someone who's still learning.

What Happens After the Worst Day of Your Life | Kim Pastore

In this episode of BE ALL IN, Raul sits down with Kim Pastore to talk about what happens after the worst day of your life. After losing her husband, Jorge Pastore, in the line of duty, Kim was faced with a reality most people will never fully understand—grief, identity, and the responsibility of moving forward when everything changes. This conversation is not about the moment itself. It’s about what comes after. We talk about: * The emotional weight first responders and their families carry * What grief actually feels like beyond what people see * The decision to turn loss into purpose through the Jorge Pastore Foundation * What people misunderstand about the cost of this job * How to keep going when there’s no clear path forward This is a conversation about responsibility, resilience, and what it means to carry something heavy—and still move forward. If you’re in a high-pressure role, or you’ve ever had a moment that changed everything, this one will stay with you.

The Calls You Don’t Talk About

There are calls you never forget. Not because they were the worst— but because they were the quietest. In this episode, I break down two calls that stayed with me and what they reveal about how repeated exposure shapes the way we see people, responsibility, and the world around us. If you’ve ever had a moment that stuck with you for no obvious reason… this is for you.
