After the Call
First responders are trained to run toward danger, protect our communities, and carry the weight of trauma most people will never see. But what happens after the call? After watch foundation is ran entirely by first responders for first responders to get you the support you need.
After the Call, the podcast dedicated to the stories and struggles behind the badge, the turnout gear, and the uniform..
Each week, we’ll bring you powerful conversations with first responders, mental health professionals, and advocates who are breaking the stigma, sharing their journeys, and offering real solutions. We’ll talk about PTSD, resilience, family impact, and the resources that can make a difference.
Because the job doesn’t just leave scars on the body — it affects the mind, the heart, and the people who serve alongside us. And no one should have to carry that burden alone.
This is After the Call — where you’ll find Strength through resilience.

After The Call: Josh Grandinetti
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, we sit down with local firefighter-turned-paramedic Josh Grandinetti, who opens up about the injury that ended his fire career, the transition that followed, and the deep work he’s done to stay grounded through it all. Josh gets candid about trauma, coping, and what real mindfulness looks like in the life of a first responder.
He’s so dialed in on helping others rise above their struggles that he launched Foundation Fortified—a powerful resource for building resilience and mental strength.
