    Episode 16: “One Call, One Kid, One Mission”

    What happens when a routine call turns into a race against time? Meet Max—the young voice on the other end of the line—and hear how fast thinking, calm under pressure, and teamwork made all the difference. This isn’t your typical 9-1-1 story. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to respond when every second counts—and the unexpected impact one call can have on an entire center. Short. Raw. Real. And unforgettable.

From building real trust with your team to finding your “why,” this episode is packed with leadership gold — plus some solid laughs (yes, Crumbl cookies came up). If you’re leading early, leading tired, or leading while figuring it all out — this one’s for you.
