We sit down with David Berez to unpack culture, leadership, and mental health in policing, and why science-backed tools beat checkbox trainings. He shares practical ways to build anti-fragility, define purpose beyond the badge, and lead with courageous optimism.

• differences in culture across EMS, fire and police
• internal competition, promotion pitfalls and leadership gaps
• science-based wellness versus story-only events
• proactive gratitude as mental training
• storytelling focused on you at your best
• journaling and creative self-disclosure
• anti-fragility as the goal beyond resilience
• leading by example and financial habits for recruits
• identity and purpose outside the uniform
• the theory of courageous optimism
• service and advocacy through NLEOMF and Citizens Behind the Badge
