In Episode 9 of McNew: Duty. Grit. Grinds., we dive into failure. From an unplanned encounter with killer bees to a near-fatal mistake with spike strips, I share stories of setbacks that shaped my grit and resilience.

I'll talk about my early days as a newspaper delivery boy, quitting McDonald's, and a humbling reality check on the first day of the police academy.

These experiences remind us that failure doesn’t define us—it refines us. Join me as we explore the grind behind growth.
