I am looking to start my career in law enforcement.
It has been a dream of mine since I was a young adult but it has always felt out of reach. Listening to this podcast has giving me the confidence and motivation to pursue my dream career. They have so many amazing guest on the podcast that share their experiences, wisdom, and advice. Episodes #10 and #12 have influenced me the most.
Minerva and Betsy Smith are incredibly inspiring.
Thank you so much Ken!
