In this powerful and inspiring episode, I sit with down with Pearland Firefighter Eddy Liceaga to unpack the incredible story behind Pearland’s new slogan: "42 Seconds Can Change the World."

Eddy recounts his October 2023 Mayday incident — a near-fatal entrapment that lasted just 42 seconds but changed his life forever. He shares the intense moments on the fireground, the split-second decisions, and the teamwork of three fellow firefighters whose rapid actions defied Mayday statistics and saved his life.

From the life-or-death heat of that day to the lessons learned about training, preparation, and mindset, Eddy’s story is a testament to why “muscle memory” from training is everything. His passion for the job, his message to “Step Up or Step Out,” and his unwavering dedication to his department will leave you fired up for the work we do and the brothers and sisters we do it with.

If you need a reminder of why training matters, why the job matters, and why attitude is everything — this is an episode you can’t miss.
