  • 90_You Won’t Rise to the Occasion — You Fall to Your Training

    90_You Won’t Rise to the Occasion — You Fall to Your Training
    Apr 8 2026
    What would you do if someone collapsed right in front of you?

    In this solo episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Pappy explores a hard truth about emergencies: you do not rise to the occasion—you fall back on your training.

    When stress hits, good intentions are not enough. In those first critical moments, people often freeze, hesitate, or wait for someone else to act.

    That is why training matters. It builds competence, confidence, and the ability to respond when every second counts.

    In this episode, Pappy breaks down why people freeze, how training changes outcomes, and why preparedness is not just about knowledge—it is about action. If you have ever told yourself you should probably learn CPR, first aid, or emergency response skills “someday,” this episode is your reminder that someday should probably be sooner.

  • 89_Why Waiting for 911 Isn’t a Plan | with Dustin Talacko

    89_Why Waiting for 911 Isn’t a Plan | with Dustin Talacko
    Mar 16 2026
    When someone collapses from cardiac arrest, brain injury begins in 4–6 minutes.

    In many communities, EMS arrival can take 10 minutes or more.

    So what exists in that gap?

    In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we sit down with firefighter-paramedic and AED Empire co-founder Dustin Talacko to discuss the dangerous space between emergency and response — and why access to life-saving equipment can determine whether someone survives.

    Drawing from thousands of emergency calls, Dustin explains why preparedness is not about panic, but infrastructure. We explore why organizations delay purchasing AEDs, how decision paralysis affects safety planning, and why survival should never depend on luck, location, or privilege.

    Dustin also shares the story behind AED Empire, a company built to simplify access to automated external defibrillators and bleeding control solutions so organizations can move from good intentions to real preparedness.

    If you are responsible for the safety of others — in a workplace, school, gym, church, or public venue — this conversation will change how you think about readiness.

    What You'll Learn
    • The critical first minutes of cardiac arrest
    • The gap between collapse and EMS arrival
    • Why many organizations delay implementing AED programs
    • How simplifying preparedness improves real-world outcomes
    • Why access to equipment reduces responder stress
    • The role of bleeding control in modern safety planning

    About Dustin Talacko
    Dustin Talacko is a firefighter-paramedic and co-founder of AED Empire, a national life-saving equipment platform focused on improving access to AEDs and bleeding control resources. His work sits at the intersection of public safety, workplace readiness, and responder mental health.

  • 88_International Travel Preparedness: Shelter in Place, Embassies & Travel Emergencies Overseas

    88_International Travel Preparedness: Shelter in Place, Embassies & Travel Emergencies Overseas
    Mar 2 2026
    Every day, thousands of Americans board international flights thinking about beaches, business meetings, and bucket lists.

    Very few think about embassy locations.
    Very few think about hospital systems.
    And almost no one thinks about what they would do if they were told to shelter in place in a country that isn’t theirs.

    Recently, tourists in parts of Mexico were advised to remain inside their hotels due to instability. Flights were delayed. Movement was restricted. Information was fragmented.

    But this type of disruption isn’t isolated to one country.

    Across the world — including regions like the Middle East and Iran — travelers have faced sudden airspace closures, government advisories, unrest, and rapidly changing conditions that left tourists relying on embassies and emergency planning instead of itineraries.

    That’s not a political conversation.
    That’s a preparedness conversation.

    In this roundtable discussion, Jason Perez, Pappy, and Anthony Escoto from Disaster Operations Group break down what smart travelers do differently before they leave the country.

    We discuss:
    • How the U.S. STEP Program actually works
    • What embassies can — and cannot — do for you
    • Documentation redundancy and passport planning
    • Financial and logistical buffers for travel disruptions
    • A real experience calling an ambulance overseas
    • Travel medical and evacuation considerations
    • Shelter-in-place vs evacuation decision-making
    • Traveling internationally as a father responsible for a family
    • Leadership and psychological preparedness abroad

    If you travel internationally — for business, vacation, or mission work — this episode will change how you think about preparedness.
