I had no clue until I met Scottie.  Do you want to live a fuller life and be present for those around you or do you want to be an isolated, crotchety miserable old person?  Most of us dread getting older because we only see the negatives.  Scottie is a visionary who shows us how to experience and enjoy aging process.  We don't have to sit back, isolate and dread the process.  Scottie shows people how to attack the aging process in order to live a fuller and more rounded life.  Why be old why not be a happy mature adult. I know I'm not going out pissing, shitting and crying without a fight. The best part of going over the hill is experiencing the ride down the other side

When people talk about addiction and recovery it's always negative in nature. I mean I get it and I do it too. It is such a serious disease affecting so many people. I tend to forget that I have gained so much through my recovery journey. Natalie has fought her demons as well finding new life. In this episode we talk about how our lives were, things we have done during recovery, and where our lives are now(a little AA spin). We are not blowing smoke uo your butt, it has not all been pretty flours and celebrations. We have seen our hard times as well. We always have to remember that we are alive and we are here fighting to maintain the wonderful lives we have been given. Don't ever give up and do not let the bad shit win......EVER!! It is a privilege to be sharing what we have experienced with you our SCRT family.

No crazy description here. Two podcaster coming together to spread the word. Addiction, mental health and recovery along with life in general. Nothing is off limits. Drew Moore is awesome and I am lucky to be working with him. Together we accomplish more! Drew Moore and Mark Kneebone coming together to talk our truths and our lives.

Ever get in an argument with a friend because of miscommunication? It's not always easy to communicate with people close to you. Feelings and butts get hurt and not intentionally. Natalie and I just had one of those moments. Statements misunderstood and messages not received.....pitfalls of talking to those close to you. Somehow this episode took a turn and we ended up talking about some poor practices LEO's fall into that could cause issues. Poor report writing directly affects a police officer and their credibility. Hear both sides of the coin from a former LEO and an active criminal defense attorney. Another fun episode for the SCRT family!! Check us out at steelcityroundtablepodcast.com or email us at [email protected]. We want to hear your story

Josh Shimko has been an LEO for over two decades. He has served in metropolitan as well as smaller departments throughout his distinguished career. He has seen it all and has the scars and the tee shirt. Josh was diagnosed with PTSD and depression as a result of his experiences on the job. You know how his two decades of service were rewarded? Not a "thank you" or a "job well done" that's for sure. Instead his current department is trying to shove him out the door rather than help him recover and heal. This is absolutely disgusting in every way. These police departments truly do not care about the mental well being of their officers. It's more about saving money and checking the DEI boxes. If you are an LEO this is definitely a do not miss no brainer. The verdict is in, you don't matter to the powers that be. You are merely a tool to be used and thrown away when you are no longer useful to them and their misguided agendas. Tune in as we tell you how it really is!!

Holidays bring with them a lot of joy and togetherness...they also bring headaches, stress, arguments, misunderstanding, binge drinking (my old favorite) and a lot of not so fun things. How do we navigate these waters and get through these times without someone going to the hospital or jail? Do you drink and hide from everyone or do you face the problems and make the best of the situation? My old M.O. was drink myself stupid so that nothing bothers me except for a lack of hard alcohol. Unlike the average person who either deals with the situation the best they can or ignores the problem and faces an incredibly annoying and irritating experience. We all face holidays and general family dynamics in different ways. What is your strategy for dealing with the holidays? In this episode Natalie and I talk about or experiences and opinions....as always we tell it how we see it.

In this episode we talk about a lost idea in the criminal justice system, and life in general. Empathy and more to the point the lack of empathy. Why do some LEO's have preconceived opinions of people and situations prior to actually getting there? Shouldn't they treat every situation separately on a case by case basis? These are just some of the things we talk about. We are not saying all LEO are like this, more that it has become a negative pattern in the criminal justice system to judge people on personal bias and not on the actions and behaviors observed. Another concern is why many LEO approach people with the "I'm better than you" attitude instead of remembering we are all human. Who better to talk about this than a former LEO and a criminal defense attorney. As always it's our opinions so please voice yours.
