Hard Corners with Tom Synan
Hard Corners is a term we used on SWAT when clearing buildings and rooms. Soft Corners were the things you could see, this was not the biggest concern. It was the Hard Corners that had the hidden dangers and challenges. Focus on the Hard Corners and you expose those challenges.That is what we will be doing with this Podcast. Exposing the tough, challenging and dangerous conversations. The conversation that make us uncomfortable and vulnerable. Rhetoric simplifies a topic in order to win an argument. I don’t care about winning arguments. I want to get into all the complexities of an issue. The raw, real and honest layers of an issue. That’s where understanding is found. Understand the human in each issue and we will learn the stories of humanity.

The Unspoken Forgiveness
•
Jesse Waits Media
We continue our underlying theme of forgiveness in this powerfully emotional episode. We interview Kasey Ladd who grew up in the small town I police. Kasey lost his mother in the Who concert tragedy. He growing up in pain and anger set my personal car on fire in the police department parking lot while I was on duty.
Kasey walks us through his healing. Anger-to-pain-to-wisdom. I held no anger towards Kasey. We never talked about that day with my car or the loss of his mother until now. I didn’t know I needed this conversation. That I needed to heal. Together Kasey and I heal coming to an understanding; sometimes forgiveness is unspoken.
