These two are such a dynamic duo.

Sandi shares her journey from policing to pursuing a new career in early childhood education, while Ahrie talks about his passion for weightlifting and his goal of competing in the Olympics. They discuss the importance of finding a job that brings joy and purpose, the impact of Sandi's community policing work, and the need for more support and recognition for essential workers.


Key Takeaways:

Quotes:

  • "I think people need to stop trying to seek answers from the outside. The best thing you can do is just try to sit and try." - Ahrie

  • "I love intensely and I work intensely. And so getting those two things aligning is important to me because I do become somewhat obsessive about my work." - Sandi Trembath
