This week's episode is a chat with Patrick Faulkner, about his journey from law enforcement to entrepreneurship, due to an off duty injury.

Patrick is a prior LEO turned entrepreneur and podcast host of the Knock and Talk Show. He served 4 years in the US Air Force and after a year break, spent 16 years in law enforcement...in 4 different departments...before suffering an off duty injury that ended his career, without medical retirement.

Patrick touches on so many points that resonate with so many of the cops I've spoken to over the past 3 years. To name a few...

1. Depression (undiagnosed) cost him his marriage...once he admitted to being depressed, things changed.

2. Trauma bonding sucks you in...it doesn't actually help you. 

3. He wanted out, but was good at what he did...so he felt torn.

4. Once he knew he was meant for more...he started planning.

The title of this episode is one phrase he said that stuck out the most and represents what Next Shift stands for...go build your tomorrow, today.
