    What happens when you hang up the badge and try to start anew? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Sean Curtis, who shares his deeply personal journey of transitioning from a law enforcement career. We tackle the financial and emotional challenges officers face when they leave the force, including the struggle to redefine one's identity. Sean also sheds light on the generational shifts in job loyalty and how this impacts law enforcement recruitment. We get candid about the significant sacrifices made for often inadequate compensation, and the need for better resources and support for those who protect our communities.

    Ever wondered how to balance a creative passion with financial stability, especially in writing? Sean and I dig into the importance of consistent practice for writers and the need for creative outlets for mental well-being. We discuss platforms like Substack that provide modern avenues for sharing work without restrictions and reflect on the journey from traditional media to influential digital publications like Pew Pew Tactical.
