Episode Details

In this episode, I am joined by my prior coworker, dear friend,  and brother Matt.  This was as much a dive into his life and this career as it was two old friends connecting over not just the career itself but our outlooks on life in tandem. 

Matt is a current LEO and describes growing up in the Midwest, being drawn into service with the US Marine Corps, followed by policing (a family affair).  

We chat about one’s values navigating the career, paying forward service and maintaining a positive attitude.  We also discuss the times as well as great and heart-breaking experiences we’ve been through.  

I ask Matt about advice for those considering the career in deciding where to look and try to join.  He reflects on considerations and decisions to leave/join different police departments with family and career direction being key factors.

When it comes to this career and LIFE, there is no absence of darkness and negativity.  We talk about what has helped us process all the bad and nudge ourselves and others to refocus and orient toward the GOOD.
