Ep. 22 Gonzalo “Chalo” Pazmino – From Marine to Firefighter: A Heart for Service

In this inspiring episode of Duty Beyond Duty, Manny Guzman sits down with Gonzalo “Chalo” Pazmino — a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Chicago firefighter, and founder of Firefighters Hearts United. Born in Ecuador and raised in Chicago, Chalo shares his journey from managing some of the city’s hottest Latino nightclubs to dedicating his life to saving lives at home and abroad.

Hear how his mission of service extends beyond the firehouse — organizing training and equipment drives for firefighters in Ecuador, supporting orphanages and special-needs schools, and building bridges of compassion across borders. Chalo opens up about leadership, resilience, faith, and what it truly means to live with a “heart for service.”

🎙️ A powerful story of courage, culture, and community.
