S6 E27 The Case for Telling the Story with Guest Jerri Williams


Listen Later

After 26 years as an FBI Special Agent — investigating fraud, corruption, and the schemes that cost people everything — Jerri Williams could have walked away quietly. She didn't.

She entered the Bureau in 1982 as one of the first Black female agents in FBI history. She worked the cases. She learned the truth. And when Hollywood started telling a different story, she wrote the book to correct it — literally.

Now she hosts FBI Case File Review, a true crime podcast with over 10 million downloads, and she's on a mission to preserve the real stories of the men and women who served.

In this episode, Jerri, David, and Stacy sit down to talk about something every first responder needs to hear: why your story matters, why telling it protects the profession, and why silence is the real threat to your legacy. In this episode:

  • Why Jerri has spent 10 years sharing FBI stories — and what she's learned
  • How authentic storytelling shapes public trust in law enforcement
  • What gets lost when first responders don't preserve their experience
  • Why your personal legacy deserves to be told — on your terms
  • The cases that changed how she sees the mission of storytelling itself
