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.

Trapped In the System / Bringing the Killer of Rainer Police Chief Ralph Painter to Justice w/ Rosemary Reynolds and Alan Painter

August 11, 2025 • John Kelly • Season 4 • Episode 16

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Author and investigative journalist Rosemary Reynolds and brother of Murdered Police Chief Ralph Painter, Alan Painter. The book "Trapped in the System / Bringing the Killer of Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter to Justice", uncovers a system that creates victims out of suspects and punishes families that are victims of murderous acts. This story would be less impactful if it was relegated to this one incident. The truth, the justice system we have in place is anything but just. Criminals are given compassion, empathy, and second chances after displaying none of those characteristics to their victims. I don't want to live in a world where the rights of the criminal outweigh the rights of the individuals and families they victimize. This one will make you question the system and how survivors of horrendous crimes are repeatedly victimized by a system that was intended to protect them.
