In this episode, we sit down with Erica Roberts for a real conversation on dispatch, leadership, communication, and what it actually takes to stay calm when everything around you is chaos.

From high-pressure calls and training mindset to the disconnect between dispatch and the field, this episode is packed with insight for anyone who cares about service, leadership, and the unseen side of emergency response.
