What if saving a life isn’t a single moment…but the beginning of thousands of future moments that only exist because someone chose to act?
Today’s guests are father-daughter duo Brad Newbury ( https://bradnewbury.com/ ) and Kiera Newbury ( https://kieranewbury.com/ ) - two voices at the intersection of emergency medicine, leadership, resilience, and human impact.
Brad is a veteran Fire Captain and paramedic with nearly four decades on the front lines of emergency response.
Over the course of his career, Brad has trained thousands of EMTs and paramedics around the world and built one of the pioneering online EMS education platforms through National Medical Education & Training Center Inc. ( NMETC - https://nmetc.com/ ). Drawing from years of responding to crises, leading under pressure, and building businesses while serving in the firehouse, Brad recently authored the Amazon #1 bestseller The First Responder Advantage ( https://www.amazon.com/First-Responder-Advantage-Thriving-Business/dp/1967424837 ), a guide showing how the mindset and skills developed in emergency services can translate into entrepreneurship, leadership, and long-term impact.
Joining Brad is his daughter Kiera, an EMT and emerging voice in emergency preparedness and public health advocacy.
Together, Brad and Kiera co-authored The Saved Effect ( https://www.amazon.com/Saved-Effect-Stories-Reclaimed-Willing/dp/1637635923 ), a deeply human exploration of what happens after a life is saved - the ripple effects that extend into families, futures, communities, and generations. Through true stories of cardiac arrests, rescues, bystander CPR, and ordinary people stepping forward in extraordinary moments, the book asks a powerful question: What if the most important part of saving a life is everything that comes afterward?
Together, Brad and Kiera bring a rare blend of frontline experience, leadership under pressure, entrepreneurship, public service, and deeply personal storytelling - all centered around one core belief: preparedness, courage, and the willingness to act can change the trajectory of countless lives.
