Ep. 45 - Community Connection Is Deeper Than Coffee with a Cop

Maybe you know the feeling: you did something small — bought lemonade from a kid's stand, shot hoops for ten minutes with neighborhood kids, gave a scared kid in the back seat of a car a sticker instead of a lecture — and it felt like it barely counted. Like it disappeared the second you drove away. Retired police chief Neil Cervenka and current Blaine, Washington Police Chief Rodger Funk know it counted more than almost anything else they did in their careers. In this episode of The Blah, Bla

Ep. 41 - Evolve or Get Left Behind — Leadership Lessons From 45 Years on the Job

She entered law enforcement in 1980 in Southern California — one of seven women in an academy class of 72. She became the first female detective in Santa Barbara County not assigned to juveniles or sex crimes. She sued for discrimination twice. She survived an off-duty attempted murder. She won the sheriff's seat in a county that traces its law enforcement lineage to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid — and then won it again.

Ep. 40 - Great Leaders Know How to Keep Their Ego in Check. Do You?

You are a temporary steward of a really big leather chair. The day you leave, you're a picture on a wall. The question is — what kind of picture will you be? This episode of the Blah, Blah, Blah...Something Wellness Podcast pulls back the curtain on what great leadership in law enforcement actually looks like, sounds like, and costs. Because the chiefs who changed everything? They weren't the ones chasing the next rank. They were the ones who showed up on a rifle perimeter just to cover their o
