What does it mean to wear the badge, to walk the thin line between order and chaos, knowing every shift could be your last? Matt spent nearly three decades in law enforcement, seeing the darkest corners of humanity—drug busts, violent crimes, and the trauma that lingers long after the sirens fade. But nothing prepared him for the moment he took a bullet on duty.
In this gripping 6.5-hour conversation, Matt takes us through his journey—from a childhood shaped by constant change to the adrenaline-fueled streets of Houston. He recounts his time in the police academy, the heart-pounding chases, the emotional toll of the job, and the fateful morning that altered his life forever.
This is more than a cop story—it's a raw, unfiltered look at survival, resilience, and the price of wearing the uniform.
