In this episode, I talk with Homicide SGT. Robert Walsh on community policing in a new way. Walsh talks about how he is mentoring struggling youths from pre-teen to 21 years of age to become men. From learning to wear a suit to offering up shoes and hoodies! The conversations that are had during these events point out how police view teens in hoodies vs how teens see each other in hoodies. The goal is for both sides to learn the culture of each other's world and gain perspective; bridging that gap in a new way. This was one of my favorite conversations so far. Be sure to check out NEX Metropolitan and get involved.

In this episode, I talk with Derrick Hamilton. Derrick was recently featured on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (ep1858).  Derrick was put in prison in the early 90's for murder! He claimed he was innocent...AND HE PROVED IT! Derrick became his own lawyer when his freedom was on the line. We discuss how he landed in prison, where the system is failing, what it's doing well, and what we can do to improve it from here on out. We go down a few rabbit trails along the way. One of our most powerful and impactful episodes yet. Please, take a listen and enjoy.

In this episode, I speak with my great friend and co-worker, Ofc. Joey Spragins. He is a neighborhood patrol officer and he tackled a way to handle veteran homelessness. We talk about how he did that, the common problems with homelessness in general and ways to help solve the issue, rather than kicking that can down the road. This was a great episode and success story. I hope you enjoy and please spread this message. Perhaps we can help other cities in some small way with this.

In this episode, I speak with Kathleen Dias, a writer for PoliceOne. Kathleen is not a first responder, she is not military. As a matter of fact, she has nothing to do with this type of career field. Yet, she has been writing about it since 2019 for PoliceOne every month. She has great insight, especially when it comes to our officers working in the Sticks! Take a listen and I think you'll understand why she has been so successful in this field. You can also check her work out at TheRuralBadge.com. Enjoy !

In this episode, retired lieutenant Fred Gilbert (my dad) decided he wanted to interview me. So we decided to role with and have fun. It's always great talking shop with my old man. We might not have been bridging any gaps with the community on this one, just enjoying the father/son moment. I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I speak with entertainer/comedian/musician/television personality, Chad Prather. Chad ran for Texas Governor in 2022. We discuss his view on where policing is today, where it could improve, and what policing is doing well. I learned he was an international traveler working in the medical field before doing comedy. We discuss this and more over some nice Smoke Wagon bourbon. Please, watch/listen and enjoy.

In this episode, we went off the rails. Austin, the host of the new Muster Room Podcast, convinced me to do a live podcast. It was my first. It was highly successful on social media. So, I backtracked, snagged the audio, and uploaded it here. If you get a chance to watch it, go to the YouTube channel and check it out. If you can't, you can listen here. We talk about his non-profit "Law Enforcement Officer Weekend", his new podcast for first responders suffering from PTSD/Traumatic events/real-life stories, and his job as an NYPD cop. It was great, check it out and enjoy.

In this episode, I speak with a Construction worker, veteran supporter, and small business collaborator Tim Labatzky. Tim started a movement through his frustrations during the pandemic. He was able to get small businesses through social media to start supporting one another during a time many were closing. We discuss how business and police relations are key and vital to healthy cities. We discuss many other things over some nice Merica Bourbon. I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I talk with the founder of 221b Tactical, Suresh Madhavan. He is prior to law enforcement and started his own business while still working the streets on patrol. He has a tough conversation about internal conflicts he had with his old department, racism, and other things the public rarely gets to hear. This was a wild conversation as Suresh and I was friends long before this pod and we just flow. We flowed so well, that we outlasted the video recording portion. If you happen to check out the YouTube/Rumble version, the last 7 minutes is just audio lol. I have since remedied this issue so it won't happen again. Always learning as we improve.
