A week filled with reflection, appreciation, and gratitude. After 40 years, I had the absolute pleasure to sit down with an old high school buddy, United States Army Brigadier General, Joe Reale. Joe and I talked about the good old days, friendship, and the impact we have had on others during this journey called life. We discussed his humble beginnings a private in the "Old Guard", to his leadership during the refugee mission in Kandahar as a Brigadier General, and everything in between. Joe allowed himself to be vulnerable, sharing with me that for the entirety of his time in the military his focus was on taking care of others, and unfortunately he did that that the expense of taking care of himself. Sit back, and give this episode a listen. 40 years have gone by in the blink of an eye, oh what a ride it's been.Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

Wow, this week I had the privilege of sitting down with former firefighter and founder of the S.I.R.E.N. Project , Angela Graham. The S.I.R.E.N Project is an initiative that looks to help first responders and veterans heal from past trauma through the use of psychedelic medicines. We dove deep into everything that this modality is, and just as important, everything that it is not. I learned soo much from my brief time with Angela. My biggest takeaway, there is always something you can do to better your situation, always. The one caveat to this, it's got to be YOU that takes action and is intentional on how you want to live your life! Grab a pen and paper, sit back, reflect, take notes, and if you or someone you love is struggling, share this episode with them and put them in touch with Angela, or don't , the choice is yours.https://thesirenproject.orgFacebook : @thesirenprojectforfirstrespondersInstagram : @the.siren.projectMail to : The S.I.R.E.N.

This week John Mattingly and I sit down to discuss "12 Seconds In The Dark", A Police Officers Firsthand Account of the Breonna Taylor Raid. I started off the interview apologizing to John for doing what I think a lot of us do when it comes to incidents that are reported in the media, we believe what we are told. At every turn mainstream media has failed to report the truth and have conveniently replaced it with whatever version supports the us vs them , defund, movement. They run with lies because agency leadership allows them to do so. When lies aren't challenged with the truth, when repeated enough, those lies become facts in the eyes of the public. John Mattingly, his brothers on that warrant, his family in the aftermath have been betrayed. If you don't think I can happen to you, give this podcast a listen, reflect, and commit to being better in all that you do. Thank you John Mattingly, for your courage and commitment to the truth as unpopular as it may be, God Bless.https://johnmattingly.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mattingly-71b889188?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BBAdmwKdTRianKVsAlK%2FQZQ%3D%3DThank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

This week I was honored to sit down with Nick Lavery. Nick was so gracious with his time, the most humblest of men, he and I had a conversation you absolutely don't want to miss.

Jimmy and I discuss accountability, finding courage when the phone doesn't ring, and knowing who you are when the things that you've built your life around start to vanish. Most importantly Jimmy shares with us how he is navigating through the storm. I'm proud of him for sharing and his willingness to embrace the power of hope.

Welcome back to another impactful season of the "Sometimes Heroes Need Help" Podcast. We are starting this year off with an amazing , impactful, dedicated 33 year law enforcement veteran, Doug Shoemaker. Doug has held many high ranking assignments making his way from patrol officer to chief in several jurisdictions. Doug and is currently working in the private sector, bringing his years of experience to industries that serve the law enforcement profession. I had a really great conversation with Doug about leadership, culture, and the role each of us plays in bringing about the change we desire. Sit back and give it a listen and come away a better version of you for doing so!More About Doug:I believe passionately in policing. Those who answer the call to serve are the ones who we look to not just to be the bedrock of policing now, but the ones who will ultimately create a better future for us and for our communities. I began my career in Jefferson City, Missouri, and spent nearly 27 years serving residents of the state capitol. I spent years developing and prioritizing community partnerships, which ultimately became a pivotal piece of managing the "Journey for Justice," a march held in the wake of the Ferguson protests in 2014. Working closely with the local NAACP chapter, the department and the community began to come together, rather than remain divided to begin to build more meaningful solutions for all. I served as the Chief of Police in Grand Junction, Colorado for over four and one half years and then served the people of Denton Texas as their chief of police. The women and men I've had the good fortune to work with are passionate about policing, much like those in police agencies across the world. I've most recently retired fully from policing, and while I will miss it, I'm proud of what I accomplished during my time on the job.I have had some incredible opportunities working with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, beginning back in 2007 and through today. I've served on several committees and sections, and in 2018 was elected to serve a two-year term as the Vice Chair of the Public Information Officers Section. I was honored to be elected as the IACP's 5th Vice President in September of 2021 and during my work as a Vice President I had the opportunity to lead several national and international efforts on culture within policing agencies.Outside of IACP, I'm also a member of the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA), NAWLEE, IAWP, and NOBLE.I am very proud to be a founding board member of The Curve, an effort founded and led by renowned author and speaker Simon Sinek. Our work at The Curve aims to change the way we address culture within policing organizations - particularly at the leadership level.I begin my new journey as a Public Safety Executive with Peregrine in August of 2024, and I can't express how excited I am by the opportunity to be a part of a company that is forward thinking, genuinely values it members and clients, and looks to the future as an incredible opportunity to work with public safety agencies to provide solutions to challenges they face within their communities.- I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who want better public safety Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down with retired LEO and Air Force Veteran, Doug White. Doug recently authored, "Hiding In Plain Sight- The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward" . We discussed his career and life, the failures, and more importantly the lessons learned. Doug is paying it forward in a meaningful, impactful way. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come away a better version of you for doing so. More About Doug:My journey spans over 30 years of service as a veteran and law enforcement officer—a journey filled with both triumphs and profound challenges. Like so many in these fields, I encountered the heavy toll that trauma can exact on the mind, body, and spirit. My breaking point came one night, alone on a midnight shift, behind a school with my hand on my pistol, considering an irreversible option.But I was saved by grace, by the unwavering love and strength of my wife, and by her faith in God. That moment didn't just pull me back—it set me on a new path. A path not focused on trauma, but on growth, resilience, and transformation.Today, I'm the founder of Tell This Story LLC, an organization dedicated to empowering veterans, first responders, and their families. My mission is to help others grow beyond the struggles we often face in silence. It's not about living in the shadow of our trauma or retelling the same story over and over—it's about the hard work of becoming better, transitioning into a healthy and fulfilling life after service, and embracing the strength that comes from being honest and vulnerable.I wrote 'Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward' as a cautionary tale, sharing my personal and professional journey, but more importantly, as a message of hope. I believe in the power of owning our stories—not as victims, but as victors. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to offer a safe space for others to share their experiences, ask for help, and find healing and growth....

Two weeks ago Helene ravaged the west coast of Florida all the way up into North Carolina, and now Milton is set up to give us more of the same. We can't control what the storm does, all we can do is deal with its aftermath. If you've experienced damage to your property and aren't sure where to start, give my friends a call.

I connected with Sean and Dan through LinkedIn and was immediately impressed with their background, mission, and commitment to this first responder community. Sean O'Keefe and Dan Barzykowski are the founders of HERO LINK. What is hero link? It's basically a high tech version of a "dog tag" that has all of your medical, emergency, and related information made available to emergency responders with just a tap from your device. The device comes in two forms, a wearable around your wrist or a card that can be placed anywhere on your person. When seconds count, what a way to give attending medical professionals and first responders all the information they need to treat you which directly increases the odds of you making it back home to your family. I absolutely love this concept and initiative. We discussed the early days, and how this device is saving lives. Ridiculously affordable, $20-25, one time fee for the actual device. Give the gift of a second chance. Agency leaders, shift supervisors, special unit leaders, this is a way you can show your people that you care about them. Instead of buying the squad or agency another knife or pen with a little light, buy them something that will actually be used to keep them alive.

We understand the dangers, risks and challenges that may present themselves each and every day, on and off duty.The more we thought about it and the more research we did, we quickly learned that there was nothing out there to help protect us and save our lives.Hero Link was truly born out of necessity and is finally closing the gap of putting responders and others last. #HeroesFirsthttps://www.herolink.comSHOW SPONSOR - ON TARGET CLAIMSThis episode is being brought to you by "On Target Claims" - From Setback to Settlement On Target Claims is a team of certified and experienced Public Adjusters in Florida who have helped thousands of insured get the maximum amount for their residential, commercial, wind, water, fire, hurricane, mold, yacht and marine claims.We have the knowledge and experience to properly investigate all potential damages including all of the hidden damages that may not be obvious to the untrained eye.

Five days before the attempted assassination of President Trump, I sat down with Kenneth Valentine, three-time presidential secret service agent and author of "Cheating Death". Ken and I quite forbiddingly discussed when 'Murphy comes and visits the operation". We discussed the importance of standards and the importance of having a mindset of "direction over perfection". Ken and I discussed faith, and the journey of having a relationship with God. We discussed "wound care" and leadership and how we navigate this thing called life. Since the assassination attempt Ken has been sought after to provide insight and commentary of the incident, all of which he has done quite admirably.

I had an awesome conversation with RCMP Officer Mark Bouchard. Mark and I get into his book "Setting My Sights On Stigma" and do a deep dive on culture, sleep, creating boundaries, and priorities and so much more!!!! We also discuss the trauma and shame often felt by not "taking the shot" . After reading his book and spending a couple of hours with him, I could tell I was immediately a better version of myself for doing so! Sit back and give this episode your attention, you'll thank me for it later! More about Mark:My passion is helping police officers and first responders prepare for the emotional and psychological challenges of the job. I developed this passion after sustaining my own psychological injury, as I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2015. Since then, I have spent years working on healing myself. Now my goal is to help other first responders, by reducing mental health stigma, and by teaching what has helped me to heal.I have 17 years of experience in policing, with the Delta Police Department, and the RCMP. I have 10 years of experience in tactical policing, with two different Emergency Response Teams (SWAT), along with a decade as a tactical medic with an advanced care scope of practice. In 2024, I received a promotion into the RCMP's National Tactical Medicine Program.I also have many years experience on multiple peer support teams. I have completed a master's degree in leadership with a research focus on police culture and the impacts on police officer mental health. I have combined that lived experience and research into my book Setting My Sights on Stigma: Thoughts From An Injured Mind, which is available now on Amazon.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with licensed mental health counselor, Beth Salmo. Beth and I discussed overcoming obstacles in getting help, the role sleep plays in our overall health and wellbeing and some different modalities she utilizes when helping the helpers. Beth cares deeply about this community and has established herself as someone that not only wants to be part of the solution, but as someone who will, and can be part of your solution.https://tlc-help.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-salmo-m-s-lpc-mo-lcpc-il-ncc-ceap-65794024/More about Beth:Life changes, fast. Between the stressors of daily life to shifts in American culture and attitudes, people are hurting more than ever. Everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves and seek support in a safe, trustworthy, and confidential space. But at times like these, who helps the people working day and night to protect, serve, and provide emergency services? It takes an individual who knows the lifestyle and unique challenges faced by people who've made an identity out of taking care of others to help effectively. I have that personal and professional experience to help society's helpers, and their families.

I had a great conversation with Gene Reid, the author of "Police Leadership Redefined, The EQ Advantage, Transforming Law Enforcement with Emotional Intelligence" Gene does an amazing job of first, defining what emotional intelligence is, and then more importantly how we develop and nurture those skill sets. We discussed the four pillars of EQ: Self -Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management and how we apply each in our data to day lives. I really enjoyed the book and the examples used to illustrate and emphasize points and situational dynamics.

This past week I had the honor of presenting at the 2024 SEFTOA conference. Field training officers from around the country were in attendance.I sat down with Mike Schentrup from Advanced Police Concepts as we discussed each day in review. If we are going to change the culture of this profession it must start with those that are entering it and the first person they come in contact with to impact them is their FTO. The role the FTO plays is life defining for the newly hired officer. Getting this right can not be left to chance. The conference focused on how we do a better job of taking care of our people but just as important, how we do a better job of taking care of ourselves. As you listen to this episode, think back about the role your FTO played in your life and their influence in providing you a foundation to launch a career from.

Chad Bruckner, a husband, father, veteran, retired police officer, author and friend sat down with me this week to discuss life, leadership, and how we do a better job at being human. We discussed his latest work, "The Holy Trinity of Successful and Healthy Police Organizations", and the journey that brought him to this place. One of the most impactful quotes from his book came in the form of a text from his wife one night when he was struggling. His wife Kristen told him" One day you will retire as a cop but you will never retire as a father...". A great reminder for all, you are not your job, it can be noble and a source of pride but it can never be allowed to define our existence.

Meagan McCarthy, a former San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy is grateful to be alive. A firearm malfunction would keep the p.o.s. suspect from executing her. If processing that critical incident wasn't enough, the state of California would be there to betray her as well. In California, jurors that have implicit bias against police officer are allowed to serve on juries. Her constitutional rights violated, she was victimized a second time during this incident with the suspect receiving a not guilty verdict. Meagan McCarthy could have allowed this tragedy to define her, instead she used it as a call to action. Meagan and I discuss the incident that started this initiative and how she has become an advocate for our profession.What challenges have you faced that have ignited your passion?More about MeaganAs an advocate, I use my communication and show hosting skills to fight for the rights and well-being of victims and first responders. I have appeared on multiple Fox News segments as a contributor, sharing my insights and perspectives on law enforcement and mental health issues.I am working towards my completion of a bachelor's degree in psychology from National University, which helps me understand the psychological challenges and needs of those who have experienced trauma or violence. I am also a retired Deputy Sheriff, who served for over six years at the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, until I was medically retired due to PTSD. I received the Above and Beyond Award for my advocacy work from Crime Survivors in October 2023.My goal is to end harmful legislation for police in California and to bring awareness to mental health in police across the world. I believe that by sharing my story and educating the public, I can make a positive difference in the lives of others who have suffered or are suffering from similar situations.

This week I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tommy and Dianne McCollister. They are on a mission of adding value and transforming relationships. We discussed relationships and how we turn them around. His amazing wife Dianne shared her perspective on growth and what it takes to thrive as a couple. I really enjoyed my time together with Tommy and Dianne and know that after giving this episode a listen you will as well. With a special note of thanks, after we recorded the episode Tommy and Dianne said a prayer asking for God's blessing moving forward. It was the first time a guest has done this for me, it was a special moment, my heart is full.http://highlevelhusband.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommy-mccollister-22806a205/BIOTommy's journey to becoming an Elite Coach, Speaker, and Man, was anything but conventional. Before he founded High Level Husband, Tommy had money, unlimited free time, a beautiful wife, and two healthy kids, but yet absolutely hated his life. Ungrateful? NO! Unfulfilled? YES! That all changed when Tommy had a near death experience and decided to "burn the boats" and go all in on finding out what is possible in life for himself and his family, when you stop doing things the way the world says do it and start doing it the way God says do it. That all paid off! In just 4 short years, Tommy has coached some of the most successful people in the world, everyone from 8 figure earners, renowned musicians, politicians, and athletes, and at the same time growing his social media from nothing to 400k followers and over 400 million views. The thing he is most proud of, is the transformation of his character and the way he leads himself, but more importantly his wife's radical transformation from a low self-worth, lost, and mediocre woman, to becoming a woman that loves herself and others like no other, all while impacting lives around the world. Besides running a successful coaching business, these days you can find Tommy bringing an intense and emotional experience to stages around the country, where he ignites men to feel phenomenal by winning at work and winning at home.SHOW SPONSOR - ON TARGET CLAIMSThis episode is being brought to you by "On Target Claims" - From Setback to Settlement On Target Claims is a team of certified and experienced Public Adjusters in Florida who have helped thousands of insured get the maximum amount for their residential, commercial, wind, water, fire, hurricane, mold, yacht and marine claims.We have the knowledge and experience to properly investigate all potential damages including all of the hidden damages that may not be obvious to the untrained eye.

Maybe you've been supervising for a while.It's HARD and you realize: "Nobody's showing me how to do this job."- Dealing with employees who do the bare minimum- Getting your team motivated to get the job done- Juggling all your tasks AND being responsible for others- Getting your boss to actually help youWhat if it's all easier that you think?"When I began my coaching journey with Hi, I felt like I was stuck in a rut at work. I had been given leadership responsibilities and goals by my manager, but had no idea what to do with them. I knew my team's potential and knew that we could perform better, but I did not have the skill sets to empower them to be their best. After just a few short weeks of coaching, my career has been supercharged and my team is unrecognizable from where we were before."If you're an ambitious police or security supervisor and you're tired of being stuck, book a Team Leader Tune-Up with me.

This week I sit down with Eureka County Undersheriff Tyler Thomas. Tyler is everything that right with the law enforcement profession. Tyler with the support of Sheriff Jesse Watts has developed a one of a kind leadership summit held every year for the past four years in Eureka, NV. We talked about the concept of how it came to be and discussed more importantly how you might be able to attend this leadership summit at no cost. This years conference, April 15th thru the 18th, with a line up of speakers that is sure to leave a lasting impact on those in attendance. Day 1, Randy Sutton & Bob Bemis from the Wounded Blue, Day 2, Tom Rizzo and his Ivory Tower program in the am, me and my "Sometimes Heroes Need Help" program in the afternoon. Day 3 Sheriff Wayne Ivey, and Day 4, wrapping the conference up with Travis Yates and his Courageous Police Leadership program. It should be noted that I wasn't originally scheduled for the 2024 conference and after Sheriff Watts attended my presentation at the National C.O.P.S. conference he wanted me in this line up. It only happened because Tom Rizzo was willing to cut his day in half to allow me time to present. If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing Tom present, you owe it to yourself and your people to do so, he is an amazing presenter and human being. If you would like to attend this conference Travis Yates is offering to pay for your airfare, I'll pay for your hotel stay. Go to travisyates.org and listen to his podcast with Tyler and follow his instructions for a chance to win a free trip to this conference.
