Carter Rowe - Our Lieutenant (RideAlong Interview)
<p>In this special interview episode, Mike and Max sit down with one of the most influential people in their EMS journey: Carter Rowe, EMT, firefighter, EMS lieutenant, and leader of the volunteer program at Chalfont Regional EMS.</p><p>Carter shares how he entered EMS as a teenager, progressed from interfacility transport and critical care work into busy 911 systems, and eventually found himself leading and developing new providers. The conversation explores the value of starting in IFT, the differences between Pennsylvania and New Jersey EMS systems, leading paramedics as a BLS provider, and what students should look for when choosing an agency.</p><p>They also discuss EMS culture, work ethic, mentorship, mental health, maintaining a life outside emergency services, and why credentials alone do not equal competency. Along the way, Mike and Max finally reveal the identity of the lieutenant they have referenced throughout the show—and celebrate becoming employees at the organization where they began as volunteers.</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Check out Carter!</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carter-rowe-96313334a/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/carter-rowe-96313334a/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/carestartswithcharacter">https://www.instagram.com/carestartswithcharacter</a></p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Episode Breakdown</p><p>00:00 – Intro and introducing Lieutenant Carter Rowe</p><p>02:54 – Mike and Max reveal their EMS service and employment news</p><p>05:09 – Leadership, mentorship, and Carter’s surprisingly young age</p><p>08:34 – Care Starts with Character</p><p>10:07 – Carter’s path into fire and EMS</p><p>14:05 – Starting young and learning through interfacility transport</p><p>19:04 – Fire versus EMS as a career</p><p>20:09 – Working in Trenton and the New Jersey EMS model</p><p>25:53 – Moving from provider to EMS leadership</p><p>27:50 – Building and managing a volunteer program</p><p>34:11 – Leading paramedics as a BLS provider</p><p>38:27 – Carter’s future education and career goals</p><p>40:06 – What new EMTs should look for in an agency</p><p>43:21 – Red flags, equipment, and organizations that invest in their people</p><p>48:26 – How students can stand out during clinical time</p><p>51:00 – Communication, patient interaction, and work ethic</p><p>55:31 – Finding purpose as an EMS provider and leader</p><p>58:08 – Motorcycles, risk, and living beyond the job</p><p>1:03:02 – Mental health and the cumulative effects of EMS</p><p>1:09:27 – Burnout, balance, friendships, and management</p><p>1:15:05 – The Great Uncrustables Debate</p><p>1:18:25 – Closing advice: Credentials do not equal competency</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>⚠️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and storytelling purposes only.
