## Resource

Episode 314: In this episode of Medic2Medic, Steve sits down with Shaun Pitts, a second-generation EMS provider with nearly two decades of frontline experience and a deep passion for EMS education. Shaun shares his journey of following in his father’s footsteps, building a career from the street up, and learning the lessons that only real calls can teach. He talks honestly about what works, what doesn’t, and why practical, relatable training matters more than ever. The conversation dives into Shaun’s role as Head of Education for EMSConnect, how he became involved with the platform, and what he sees as the future of EMS education nationwide. Shaun also discusses the EMSConnect On Shift Podcast, the importance of real conversations in the fire and EMS community, and why authentic storytelling helps providers stay connected and resilient. Beyond the uniform, Shaun reflects on balancing family life as a husband and father of three while maintaining a long-term career in EMS.
