    Who Told You Who You Are?

    Most of us don't choose our first identity. We inherit it. From our families, our environment, our experiences, and the stories we've been told for years. Over time, those stories can become so familiar that we stop questioning them. We start treating them like facts. In this episode, I explore a simple story from Anthony de Mello about an eagle that spent its entire life believing it was a chicken—and why I think that story explains something important about the way many of us live. I also share the story of starting BE ALL IN, the self-doubt that almost stopped me before I ever recorded the first episode, and why the voice telling us we're not qualified is often louder than the evidence in front of us. This conversation is about identity, self-leadership, and the stories we carry about who we are. Because maybe the biggest limitation in your life isn't your ability. Maybe it's a story you've never stopped to question. In this episode: • The eagle and the chicken story from Anthony de Mello • Why most of us inherit our identity • The invisible stories that shape our lives • Self-doubt and starting something before you feel ready • Why growth begins by questioning old beliefs • How to separate who you are from who you've been told to be BE ALL IN is a podcast about pressure, responsibility, resilience, identity, recovery, leadership, and the realities of modern life. New episodes every week. What story have you been telling yourself about who you are?

    The Life I Never Planned For

    Most people know me as a paramedic. Some know me as a husband, a father, or the guy behind BE ALL IN. But very few people know the story that shaped how I see the world. In this episode, I share the experiences that built the foundation for this podcast: • Growing up in Monterrey, Mexico • Watching my parents lose everything and start over in the United States • The friendships that changed my life during high school • Volunteering at CAMP and learning the meaning of service • Wanting to join the military and being unable to pursue that path • Finding purpose through EMS • My father's battle with colon cancer and stepping in to help support my family • Marriage, fatherhood, and learning what responsibility truly means This isn't a story about success. It's a story about sacrifice, service, identity, resilience, and the people who helped shape the person I've become. If you've ever felt behind, uncertain, or like life didn't go according to plan, I hope this conversation reminds you that some of the most meaningful things in life come from the paths we never expected to take. Thank you for listening. Be All In.

    “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.

    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.
