THE VOICE BEHIND THE CONVERSATION
FLIGHT MEDIC BERRY | Tyler McKinzey, FP-C, NRP | CEO of Beyond The Sirens
This job isn’t a recruitment poster.
First responders are short-staffed, exhausted, and carrying calls nobody talks about. Yet most conferences hand them a speaker who’s never worked a shift and reads slides about “self-care.” The room checks out, and nothing changes.
Tyler has worked those shifts. He’s been in the back of the truck and the back of the aircraft, and he talks to your audience like one of their own. One talk won’t fix the system, and he’ll tell you that himself. But your attendees will leave seeing things differently, with tools they can use long after the conference ends.
Built for EMS, fire, and mental health conferences, agencies, and organizations that support first responders.

Instrument flight rules are what pilots use when they can’t see the horizon. Tyler’s book turns that into a way back for high performers who’ve lost their bearings. Read the book, then find your flight profile with the companion assessment.

IF OVERTIME IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR EMS CAREER, THAT’S NOT DEDICATION. THAT’S A BROKEN COMPENSATION MODEL.
Somewhere along the way, working extra shifts just to make ends meet became something we're expected to be proud of.
The Overtime Trap Tee challenges that mindset.
Being dedicated to EMS shouldn't mean sacrificing your time, your family, your health, or your ability to make a living without constantly picking up another shift.
This shirt is for the EMTs, paramedics, flight crews, and first responders who know that loving the job and questioning the system can exist at the same time.
It's not about being unwilling to work.
It's about being paid enough that you don't have to destroy yourself to afford the career you chose.
Wear the statement. Start the conversation.

In loving memory Joel B. Snellgrove Jr.
He was my best friend, my brother, and one of the most selfless souls I’ve ever known. Losing him in 2022 changed my life forever. I chose to turn that loss into a mission to serve and support those who serve others.
“Berry” was the nickname he gave me—a name that became Flight Medic Berry when I earned my wings. Today, his legacy lives on through Beyond The Sirens and Flight Medic Berry.
Everything I build carries a piece of him.
As Joel always reminded me:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to him and He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
