In this episode I chat with retired Officer Eric Hofstein.  Eric started his career with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department and finished with the BART Transit Police (San Francisco).  Eric has some great stories from his career from both agencies.  His book, What Doesn't Kill You: One Cop's Perspective on Homelessness, Mental Illness, and Addiction, is availible for purchase with the link below. https://a.co/d/ctzfVIj When Eric Hofstein changed his career path, he didn't expect to meet hundreds of lost souls, many of whom were desperate to be found. Here he shares what he learned about how the people he met became homeless, what kept them on the streets, and how to help them improve their lives. He learned what true harm reduction is, and how to manage his expectations and not center himself in his outreach work. Now retired, Eric is compelled to give voice to those whose stories inspired him so that others can be inspired in turn.

MARSOC - an elite component command of the United States Special Operations Command that comprises the Marine Corps' contribution to SOCOM. Just take it from Christian - he was one of the first Marines admitted into the Corps' elite program. Since his days in deployment, he's pivoted; a turn as a Texas State Trooper on Border Patrol and a police officer in Austin certainly don't hurt his already outstanding resume. But titles are more than just accolades - they're a sterling reminder of the gun fights, close calls, and high-speed chases that can only happen on American highways. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:06 - IED Developments09:01 - Finding MARSOC19:32 - The Horn of Africa33:33 - The Service Limitations Rule39:09 - ...Underage Drinking?43:54- Instructing at SERE School59:16 - The Three Most Important Survival Tips01:06:53 - A Texas State Trooper on Border Patrol01:19:18 - Human Trafficking01:26:55 - Highway Work01:34:41 - Back at Academy01:44:38 - A High-Speed Getaway in Austin01:52:19 - Souped-Up Patrol Cars01:57:00 - Police Office Politics02:00:02 - Finance, Finance, Finance----------Support Christian Holloway - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris.holloway_fiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1jwxG_W_NAVVX8KlZ-MigLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-holloway1----------Sponsors: 1st Phorm https://www.1stphorm.com/mikedrop | Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link!----------BioProteinUse code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com----------Black BuffaloGo to blackbuffalo.com/discount/MIKEDROP and use promo code Mike Drop at checkout for 15% off your first order!Black Buffalo products are intended for adults aged 21 and older who are consumers of nicotine or tobacco.----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement
