Show Notes

Meet Alan Hardwick.  Former cop and counter-terror expert turned writer!

Today’s guest is a multi-career, love and life reinvention story of a recently retired police sergeant, who served as a member of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force living in Edmonds, Washington.  He went from single dad raising 5 young kids, with a mentally unstable ex-wife to now a happily married husband, father and grandfather. He’s also a musician and a member of the group One Love Bridge.  On top of all of that, Alan is also a writer and published his first novel in 2019.  It’s called “Never Been This Close To Crazy,” which he describes as “a love story with a whole lot of crazy going on.”  Alan’s novel is fiction but he draws from some of his own life experience.

I wanted to talk to Alan to find out more about his own life story and how he was able to make it through everything he went through, keep his family together and still be able to follow his passions.
