How to Fail Better in EMS: A Framework for Growth

from Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles - Advanced Continuing Education for Paramedics, EMTs & Prehospital Care Providers · host Ross Orpet, Paramedic turned EMS Physician

Stephanie Suzadail's favorite word is "fail." She'll tell you why and how we should embrace it. In this episode she walks through the difference between failure that builds you and failure that breaks you. Why Sisyphus is a warning, not a role model. Why the best clinicians you'll ever work with have made bigger mistakes than you have. Why high-functioning organizations report mistakes ten times more often than average ones. Why self-identified perfectionists only ever climb to "moderately successful."  Book Your Free Coaching Call at emspodcast.com/free-coaching-call Sign up for the weekly newsletter - emspodcast.com/newsletter  American Burn Association / ABLS: Enter the ABLS giveaway by June 30, 2026; the winner will be selected July 1, 2026.
