The Turning Point
11.09.2025
9 Minuten
In this bonus episode of Black Cloud Society, we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and what his life... and death...teach us about the cost of conviction. Charlie died practicing the freedoms that define America: freedom of speech and freedom of religion. He stood boldly for what he believed, even in the face of disagreement, and he welcomed dialogue as part of that pursuit of truth. This episode challenges us to live with the same courage ...to be bold in our beliefs, unafraid to speak truth, and yet willing to find common ground with those who see the world differently. What does it mean to hold the line in our faith, our convictions, and our practices? And how can we honor Charlie’s example by doing the same in our own lives?

MIH: Lifeline or Loophole
08.07.2025
1 Stunde 6 Minuten
Is Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) the next evolution of EMS — or just a well-funded illusion? In this episode of The Black Cloud Society, we dive deep into the controversial world of community paramedicine. With promises of reduced ER visits, improved patient outcomes, and expanded roles for medics, MIH has made waves across the country. But not everyone’s convinced. We sit down with voices from both sides of the aisle to ask the hard questions: Is MIH solving real problems, or just creating new ones? Is this model empowering providers — or stretching them too thin? Strap in for a brutally honest conversation about the future of EMS, the politics behind the funding, and whether MIH is truly here to stay… or just another industry pivot we didn’t ask for.

Über diesen Podcast

Black Cloud Society was born out of a necessity to fill a gap in ems podcasts. A gap that typically avoids the discussion of EMS culture and its need to change. While EMS Podcasts that cover clinical and educational topics are much needed, Black Cloud Society is a place where listeners can take a different point of view. A place where listeners can come and reflect on themselves, their peers, and their agencies; and hopefully be inspired to evolve. Not just evolve in their own mindset or practice, but to evolve the very Black Cloud that shades the culture of EMS.
