They say, "Time flies when you're having fun," and that is the TRUTH!
Somehow it has been ONE YEAR since the Next Shift Podcast launched and it has been one of, if not THE most fun and rewarding years of my life.
I NEVER in a million years would've guessed I would have my own business, my own podcast, and a network full of totally badass LEOs...both current and former...who are willing to share their experiences and help each other, from all across the country. But here we are!
It has been such an honor and so incredibly humbling to "meet" and share the stories of so many incredible people I would have never met without this opportunity. I am so proud of US...those who've made the transition to life after law enforcement (for whatever reason)...and are paying it forward to all those considering it or currently facing it.
This was a topic NEVER talked about when I first got into law enforcement in 2006 and even when I left in 2016, due to injury and was pissed off at the world for taking the "only job I could do." There were NO resources to assist in the transition and now there are so many....books, courses, podcasts, trainings, etc. It is so cool to look back at what this journey has been for me and where it has led me, but even cooler to watch more and more prior LEOs take control of their life and create their Next Shift.
While each officer's transition to life after law enforcement WILL look different and will bring it's own challenges... I hope this podcast serves as a beacon of hope that there IS life after law enforcement and it is pretty badass...IF you make it that way!
If you are considering leaving the job or are currently navigating this transition, REMEMBER...you are NOT alone...even if it feels like it.
