This episode the the longest episode Autumn has ever done. It is over 2 hours long. This is a conversation with 2 black police officers, a black police spouse, a black military spouse, a white police officer and a white dispatcher (as well as Autumn). This comes directly from the Next Level Mastermind as it was the coaching call they had. 

It became so much more then just a coaching call and everyone on the call felt like more people needed to be apart of the conversation. For Autumn, she just wants first responders as a culture to be informed. You'll hear why.
