In this episode of Mind Matters, hosts Elizabeth Morris and Gary Fly sit down with Jason Armstrong – retired police chief, author of I’m Done Here!, and nationally recognized leadership consultant – to explore what it truly means to lead with intentionality. Drawing from over two decades in law enforcement, including his tenure as police chief in Ferguson, Missouri, Jason shares lessons on building resilience, sustaining purpose in high-stakes environments, and creating cultures of trust and accountability. Through candid conversation, he reflects on personal defining moments, offers advice to leaders facing burnout, and explains how discipline, empathy, and self-awareness can drive lasting, positive change.
