In this episode I have the honor of speaking with David Putnam. He is an author and retired LEO. During his law enforcement career, “Deputy Dave” Putnam worked primarily in California on teams for Patrol, Investigations, SWAT, Narcotics (street level and majors), Violent Crimes, Criminal Intelligence, Internal Affairs and the Detective Bureau. He rounded out his law enforcement career with a few years in the Hawaiian Islands as a Special Agent–part of a real-life “Hawaii-50” team.He’s now retired from law enforcement and spends his time growing organic California avocados and writing, with his wife Mary and their three dogs.

This episode highlights just how different law enforcement is today compared to the 80's-90's. David speaks about his shooting, chasing bank robbers and much more. Be sure to check out his many books to include: The Disposables, The Bruno Johnson Trilogy, and the latest A Fearsome Moonlight Black: The Bone Detective, A Dave Beckett Novel.

This episode features Steve Augeri. Steve has worked in the field of education for the last 23 years, having begun his career as a public school teacher in the U.S. An interest in life beyond America led him on a series of adventures at international schools in Bangladesh, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, and India. Along the way, Steve transitioned out of a teaching role and into leadership, culminating in his current role  as the founding Head of School at Oberoi International School - JVLR Campus.

In this episode Steve shares his education philosophy, his views on topics such as competition, inclusion, mental health and the importance of failure for growth. It's critical for students and parents to have a listen, and I promise it will lead to interesting dinner table conversations.

In this episode, I talk with Officer Jake Bigelow. He is an Air Force and Army veteran, prior firefighter, prior medic, and now a police officer working for investigations. He has been involved in two separate on-duty shootings. We discuss those shootings, the process after, the cynicism and PTSD that lies beneath the surface, and hobbies to get the mind aligned. It was a great conversation and I cant wait to have him on for a follow-up.
