042 Finding Life After The Badge With Mike The Cop | Nick Koumalatsos

Mike spent 11 years as a cop and then officially ended his law enforcement career.  During all those years, if he wanted even to try to get ahead, he had to rely on the next overtime slot, the next traffic detail, the next extra job, etc...  For years he was sacrificing time with family for politicians and supervisors who didn't appreciate it and who would be quick to toss him under the bus, no matter how hard he worked...  That was until his friend and mentor Chris Fisher told him that because of his experience in policing, he was now equipped to kill it in the real estate game. As a former cop himself who had to walk away after an injury, he convinced him to get his real estate license and follow his lead.  Fast forward a couple of years, and both of them had successfully followed a pattern of how to grow their businesses, relying on skills they had developed as first responders.  While enjoying some bourbon (shocker), they came up with the crazy idea of wanting to help teach what they had learned to other cops...a thousand of them, to get specific. So, they started the Ten 7 Project. After several months of seeing dozens of cops change their lives, a firefighter asked if they could help him. Although the Ten 7 Project only allowed cops, they couldn't think of a good reason to tell him no. they decided to expand the project to allow all first responders, public safety professionals, and veterans to participate.
