Law Enforcement Life Coach / Sometimes Heroes Need Help Podcast

What happens when you're the threat to your own survival. Making ourselves a priority by addressing the threats that come from within starts the conversation. A podcast focused on caring and improving the lives for those that give of themselves when there is nothing left to give. Although the program is primarily centered around the first responder, the life lessons and struggles are universal in nature. The program addresses and looks to improve the lives of first responders by addressing our personal, professional, financial, physical and mental health. Historically difficult conversations to have are normalized and stigmas associated with asking for help are removed.

Gary's life spans years of service to the people of the country in the form of a police officer, detective, Counter Terrorism Task Force Commander and in his work imbedded with the US Military and SOCOM. Gary and I talk about the in the line of duty murder of his father while he was a recruit in the police academy and how that time in his life shaper themas he was to become. We discuss terrorism, our country's lack of preparedness and the impact of trauma on those out there confronting evil. We also talk about his most recent project, "Outside the Wire, A Novel of Murder, Love and War". and how his time in Iraq was the foundation for his latest novel. Sit back and give this episode a listen, Im sure you'll enjoy the conversation as much as I did! Until next week, take care of yourselves and each other, God Bless, John
