In this episode, I speak with Dan and Christina Defenbaugh. Dan is prior law enforcement that was forced into an early retirement because of the common mental health struggles that come with the job. Christina has a background in psychology and helped Dan through his struggle. Together they created the 10-42 project for first responders. Check out this episode and find out the lessons they have learned along their journey and how they are helping others avoid them.

Its a lot of ups and downs we can all relate to in some way. Check this one out and we hope you enjoy

(I apologize for the sound quality-the audio file corrupted and I had to pull audio directly from the camera's instead of the mic system) In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Retired Air Force Security Forces veteran Doug Dempsey. We hit on the good and the bad with leadership today in the military, how to be effective, and Mr. D's YouTube Outlanding adventure. Be sure to find his new Youtube Channel as he goes an entire year overlanding in his jeep! The channel is called "Sgt Overlander".  Check it out and we hope you enjoy

In this episode, I sit down with Weimy. He is a former Navy SEAL and now business owner of the highly successful Weimy Cutlery (knife maker). We discuss police training vs military training and how the two don't translate like people think. We also discuss PTSD and finding outlets to navigate the stress. It was a great episode and an true honor to talk to  a personal hero of mine. Enjoy

In this episode, we go off the rails with Anthony Russo, the host of the Blunt Force Discussion Podcast. Anthony talks politics, is a sports/media broadcaster,  and much more. This went all over the place as Russo is a tornado when he gets behind the mic. It was fun and I made a great new friend out of it. I tried getting this episode around the core values of the show, but I'll admit I didn't do a great job lol. Fun episode, we hope you enjoy it.

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 !
