Recorded Onsite at EMS World Expo 2025

In this special episode of Life and Sirens: Behind and On the Scene, we sit down on the conference-center floor… no like literally the floor… at EMS World 2025 for a fireside-style chat with Shay Montgomery, CCRN, CFRN, NR-P (better known online as @FlightNurseShay (https://www.instagram.com/flightnurseshay)) and her brother Tyler Morris, a fellow EMS professional and educator.

Together, this brother-sister EMS duo brings a unique blend of experience across ground EMS, flight medicine, and collegiate-level education. They share honest stories from their journeys, how they found their respective callings, and what it’s really like growing in the profession side-by-side—sometimes literally.

From the challenges of finding balance between teaching and clinical practice to the humor that keeps providers sane in long shifts and hotel-conference chaos, this episode captures the heart of what makes EMS a family—both by blood and by bond. It’s candid. It’s real. It’s what happens when providers stop rushing between sessions and actually sit down to talk about life and EMS.
