We made it to our 100th episode, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with you all! For this milestone, we’re bringing back 14 incredible guests in a 3 part series who have each made a significant impact not just on our show, but in the lives of many. These individuals are true advocates—those who’ve walked through the fire and emerged with the strength, wisdom, and compassion to help others. Their stories are proof that vulnerability, resilience, and community are the key to healing and growth.
This is Part A of our 3-part anniversary celebration, and it’s packed with powerful insights. We’re catching up with these guests to find out where they are now and what they’ve been up to since their original appearances. From new books to life-changing milestones, this episode is all about reflecting on the journey, sharing wins, and offering the tough love that helps us all keep moving forward.
We’re joined by AK Dozanti a retired law enforcement officer and author who just released her book, Beat the Burnout. AK opens up about pushing through imposter syndrome to share her story and the catharsis that came with writing a book designed to help others recover from burnout. Brian Gillespie, a retired law enforcement officer and Marine Corps veteran, shares his experience reaching 10 years of sobriety and how prioritizing self-care has become a game-changer in both his personal life and his advocacy work. Larry Turner, a retired law enforcement officer and military veteran, talks about his ongoing work with Save A Warrior and how his journey through vulnerability and healing has shaped the way he supports others. Kenny Mitchell, a retired firefighter and the founder of Operation Yellow Tape, reflects on the incredible growth of his initiative and the number of people reaching out for help, including the spouses and families of first responders. And we also have Tommy Bolin, a retired firefighter and soon-to-be published author, who gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming book that connects public service professionals across the board in their mental health journey.
