July 20, 2026 “I Didn’t Want To Be In A Situation Where I Didn’t Know What To Do Ever Again.”
On this episode of NOON, I sit down with Nicole Hooser, a flight paramedic, firefighter paramedic, EMS instructor, and single mom from Missouri.

Nicole’s path into EMS started in one of the scariest ways possible: her newborn son stopped breathing at home, and she had to do CPR while being talked through it by a dispatcher. That moment changed everything for her.

We talk about becoming a paramedic, getting into flight, pediatric calls, small-town EMS, teaching new providers, and why she never wanted to feel helpless in an emergency again.

July 10, 2026 “I Hope To Not Be Needed In 10 Years”
On this episode of NOON, I sit down with James “Boomer” Boomhauer, flight paramedic, mental health professional, and founder of Stay Fit 4 Duty.

James has spent more than 20 years in EMS, but this conversation goes far beyond medicine. We talk about the reality of trauma, why so many providers avoid therapy, what good mental health care actually looks like, and why finding the right therapist matters just as much as deciding to go.

You know those calls that start bad and somehow get worse?

A catastrophic crash in the Colorado Rockies. Dangerous weather. Critical patients. And a healthcare administrator putting profits ahead of lives.

Former first responder, and previous guest on NOON, D.D. Finder puts you right in the chaos in his medical thriller, Two Minutes Out. Two Minutes out is available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible.

June 20, 2026 “They May Not Remember What You Did… But They’ll Remember How You Treated Them”
In this episode of NOON, I’m joined by Jeff, better known as Redbeard the Medic. Jeff is a flight paramedic, educator, and content creator who brings a raw, honest perspective to EMS, patient care, and the realities of learning at a higher level. We talk about his journey from the fire service into EMS, the difficult calls that still stay with him, what it’s really like stepping into flight, and why kindness can leave a bigger impact on patients than we sometimes realize. This was a real conversation about growth, humility, burnout, advocacy, and the people we carry with us in this job.

June 10, 2026 “You Did Everything Right… And You’re The Reason They’re Dead.”
In this episode of NOON we have Patrick Pianezza, a paramedic, healthcare leader, and co-writer of Code 3, joining me to talk about the reality behind the job and the stories that don’t leave you.
We get into burnout, the emotional weight of doing everything right and still losing a patient, and the call that stuck with him long after he left the truck. Patrick also shares the story behind Code 3 and how real experiences shaped what you see on screen.
This one is raw, honest, and hits close to home for anyone in or out of EMS and healthcare.

May 20, 2026 “New Life, End Of Life And Everything In Between.”
In this episode of NOON we have Christopher.
He started his fire service career on September 11th, 2001 and the lessons began immediately. Christopher shares how a quadruple fatality early in his career shaped the way he approaches hard calls, mental health, and longevity in EMS.
We talk about cultural competence when serving Amish communities, the importance of family-centered care, and how maturity changes the way you practice medicine. Christopher opens up about overcoming fear in pediatric emergencies, how a neonatal resuscitation course shifted his confidence, and why he’s now focused on helping other providers lower their “pucker factor.”
From pediatric readiness and conference stages to building real community online, this conversation is about growth: clinically, emotionally, and professionally.

May 10, 2026 “If We Stop This, The Patient Will Die.”
In this episode of NOON we have Sarah Vance.
Sarah is an ICU nurse, critical care educator, and fierce patient advocate. She shares how staying at the bedside keeps her grounded, sharp, and connected to the real challenges nurses face every shift.
We talk about going from almost becoming a Spanish teacher to stepping into the ICU during H1N1 and later COVID-19, the emotional weight of those years, and why confidence in nursing only comes from stepping into hard things. Sarah opens up about advocating for patients when it wasn’t popular, protecting her license, and why education should open doors, not close them.

April 20, 2026 “A War Is Better Fought Collectively, Then It Is Individually.”
In this episode of NOON we have Mike Worthen.
Mike has been in emergency services since 1989, he worked in private ambulance, fire department, as a flight medic, and even time at the County Coroner’s Office. More than three decades in this profession have shaped how he sees both the job and its emotional cost.
We talk about the weight first responders carry, how detachment can protect us but still follow us home, and why culturally competent mental health support is critical in our field.

April 10, 2026 “You’re Battling With Self Accountability, And Its Beautiful.”
On this episode of NOON, I sit down with Charlie Swearingen, a critical care paramedic, flight clinician, and educator who refuses to let comfort turn into complacency. We talk about decision making under pressure, returning to the ground, learning from mistakes, and why pushing yourself is the only way patients truly benefit.
This episode dives deep into education, culture, accountability, and what it really means to stay sharp in prehospital medicine.

This week on NOON, Sam sits down with Ryan Chavez, an EMT turned Nurse Practitioner who now works as a solo emergency provider.
