I met Dave after a colleague introduced us for me to hop on his Hero Academy podcast. We had an engaging, fun conversation, not just about “the job” but dynamics with health, life and a host of other topics. When we connected back on, as you will hear, it was right back into a host of topics- to include diving into dietary preferences and the confl…

On Blue Grit Radio, we are having the crucial conversation about not only resilience in first responder careers, but the worst risk of failure to do so: suicide. Ret. Sgt. Danny Coon didn’t always use to be an advocate for police mental health awareness and wellness. He was of the older culture which grinded through. As he entered retirement his ey…

In first responder work, we frequently discuss and train situational awareness. There is an increasingly necessary discussion for civilians as well. It goes beyond walking alone at night in the city... but into how to approach large-scale public events, going shopping at the local grocery, or even how and whether to answer the door in your own home…

I was connected to John through a mutual professional acquaintance, of whom I have deep, deep respect (fun fact, she's a future guest who has already been recorded!) When I asked why, she simply said that we are both doing great things for the profession, and she could see our collaboration as being an extension of that. Well, when you get a nudge …

In this episode, I dive right into the heart of our most crucial topics: first responder wellness and resilience, both keeping our people at their best and out of that dark and dismal space which leads to suicide. “Wellness” as we hear it can be many things, but at the end of the day, we need practices, cultures, and tools to keep us striving for o…

Lisa is a game-changer; she is one of the three first women who graduated from the US Ranger program. Not only did she beat odds and the perceptions of haters, but she did it at the seasoned age of 37- which to anyone over 30 will know is NO JOKE. I became connected with Lisa after she shared space on The Collective, conversing and connecting on id…

I frequently talk about leadership, what it is, and how to cultivate it in ourselves and others. Leadership is modeling. It is being honest. Being clear. Being demonstrative. Being vulnerable. Showing and proving your virtues through your words and actions. Your spirit. Your heart. For years, I reviewed Police1 articles as a young officer, learning…

Everyone has a story, and the most compelling stories are adventures. Adventures have adversity, obstacles, villains- that take the shape of men or other forces that would challenge and attempt to submit our heroes. Yet, because heroes are who they are, they stumble, they fall, and still rise to overcome. My guest in this episode is L.S. (Luke) Goo…

From the day we get hired, start police academy, or for many even before that- we consider how ready we may be for "that bad day." That day could be sprinting to save a kid in peril. It could be getting up a few flights of stairs quick enough to help your buddy in a bad spot. It could be a fight for your life. Any reasonable, responsible officer wi…

We frequently talk about stress and trauma, as they are direct facets to true wellness. Navigating trauma is essential to our operational capacity as first responders and family members, which means understanding it!

I had to pleasure to first meet Minerva when she was co-hosting for the Police Applicant Podcast with Ken (see episode 53!). We chatted police hiring then and now. Prompted by a social media post about challenges facing women in policing (@fitresponder reel), we got chatting about how Minerva faced or witnessed a LOT of what was presented. In our c…

Whether or not policing is for you, you've imagined a policy academy environment. It may have been suggested to you, from the comedies by the same title, SWAT, or Silence of the Lambs. In truth, it's a blend of all those things.. at least it was for me. My main TAC Officer (WA State Academy Instructor) was Ken Henson. He didn't work for my departme…

I have had the distinct pleasure to meet these two gentlemen aka Dudes in the podcast space. I've been on their podcast a few times, The Collective, which has crazily been airing EVERY DAY of 2023.

I learned about Seb and his sheer intellectual and physical badassery through the gentlemen at The Collective.

My entry into speaking on a podcast was via The Police Applicant Podcast. The Robin to my Batman (Brian, who you all well know by now) reached out and we were able to be hosted by Ken on his show. I've been on the show a couple times, and I love what he has built in the vein of helping many dedicated, passionate individuals learn more about the law…

I got connected with Ty and was immediately impressed with his extreme presence. At 6'6", 300 plus pounds he's a rolly-polly BJJ martial artist on the mats, can squat higher than I can count, and do the splits... this dude is something else. Oh, and all that isn't his day job. He spends his time designing and building custom homes down in Waco. To …

They say "like attracts like," which would explain why I was intrigued by Jerrod and what he was working on, post military and law enforcement service. He focuses his energy on PURPOSE, and hosts a podcast by the same name and theme. Jerrod graciously had me on his show some time ago, and it was my distinct pleasure to feel his positivity, learn fr…

A good Sergeant is instrumental to an officer developing his or her career. Joe Gagner was one of my most positively influential sergeants. He ran the late swing crew- one of the most sought shifts that I was finally able to make it onto after a few years. I came to find my confidence under his supervision, becoming an FTO and later, K9. He ran the…

First Responder World, as I called it, is riddled with crazy and amazing stories of triumph, life lessons on steroids (or any PEDs really, even SARMs if you wanna go there..), and intense things that only "we" and our families will ever truly understand. You could break that down into specifics with every different role. So what happens when you ha…

Before I met Chris, I had heard much about him. That happens with a certain kind of cop in the region (in the good way). He was a SWAT cop, he carried with him much experience and much respect. He and his wife ran a Crossfit gym. Facebook suggested we were friends, and I saw a photo of a dude who looked like a dude who ran a Crossfit gym. Oh, and I…

I didn’t always want to be a cop, but I always knew I wanted to be a dad. My opinion has always been that we needed more male role models and father figures. I don’t want to imagine where I’d be if I grew up without any. From my perspective as a police officer, my feeling having only increased about the necessity for strong fatherhood- and how many…

For applicants (Police, Fire, etc), this is one you don't want to miss. Zac is getting ready to test for police, and good on him, he reached out to me for 1-on-1 coaching for oral board interviews. He agreed to do a recorded coaching call to listen back and allow other people to learn from his session- so props to him for his willingness to share a…

Well folks, we got a double whammy (first time recorded at the time) with returning guest Clay Surratt and his battle buddy on the mats, Adam. As I discuss, as soon as I had my first interview with Clay, he was immediately telling me how I needed to have Adam on. So after weeks, months, rescheduling, and all that, the three of us FINALLY connected …

I connected with Jason some time back, and more recently, I saw a post he made about 9/11. He hired on with NYPD two months prior to the catastrophic event, and would be responding to Ground Zero as an academy recruit. It boggled my mind considering what that would have been like. It considered how being in high school, 9/11 shattered many of my pa…

There's a new sheriff in town! Well, as of early this year there certainly was. My lessons in political science underlined how difficult it is to beat an incumbent, despite the other factors. Well, my guest, Derek Sanders did just that in the election for Thurston County Sheriff here in WA State. No small feat, but from the outside he did so with i…

Often times, we are most likely to listen to those who have been there/done that (as we should). When it comes to lessons learned in police work, mental health, and critical incident stress, Travis Gribble is an ideal example. He is a man who has been in the thick of it, and we as first responder (in career OR LIFE) should listen and heed his exper…

Cops say they do a thankless job, which isn't true when you stop and recognize our Corrections brothers and sisters!

Brian recounts how Corrections made him a better police candidate than …

Ask retired traffic cops what their best job was: it was working Motors. Ask retired SWAT cops: it was being on "the Team." Ask K9 officers.. it was working with the dog! School cops: working with kids. So what do you ask the guy who worked SWAT, Traffic, Narcs, K9, promoted all the way up to Captain.. and at the height of his career... requested a…

Audrey Andrade is a wellness blogger, nutrition coach, US Navy veteran (and officer!). What stuck out to me in Audrey was not only her story of coming up and pursuit of excellence, but her extremely practical and balanced approach to all things wellness. Her content is a host of unimposing, functional and digestible info nuggets that you can employ…

Bill Blowers needs no introduction in much of the police world nationally and certainly regionally. He is a lot of things- Captain America with a potty-mouth as I say in this interview. He was my first training officer- and set a tone and drive in me on so much of this profession that was a foreign language and culture. With an unwavering attitude …

Hint: talk to people like they're people! And like you're a person! Novel concept! We talk about humanizing the badge, which means we need to act like “normal” people first. Easier said than done, and I wish I had know this early in my career. It's definitely that much harder if you let your emotions and ego get in the way of things. I tried the ro…

Do you ever chat with someone and immediately feel their warm, positive energy? To describe it as simply that would be an understatement with retired Sergeant Donna Brown.
