In this episode, we change the tone a bit to talk about a subject very near and dear to me......survival. Every day we need to just open our eyes and make sure we can get to the level where we know we will survive. Some of us don’t make it that far, and the tides of life overtake us.
In this very revealing episode, I take a personal dive into some of the most traumatic events that I witnessed in my time as a police officer, and what moment really opened my eyes as to what survival really meant.
I tell the story that ultimately turned my life around while I was training for my post-cancer comeback boxing match, and how I almost gave up until an angel on my shoulder got off the stool in the corner and motivated me to carry on.
