O tomto podcastu
MCNEW, a podcast where nearly 25 years of law enforcement experience meet real-life stories and character-building moments.
I'm a police captain, husband, and father of six, sharing stories from my career, family life, and beyond. From SWAT missions to coffee with suspects, this podcast takes you through the highs, lows, and lessons learned on the job.
I'll be bringing on guests who embody the principles of service and resilience. Whether they're in law enforcement, military, or other professions, these individuals live out Duty and Grit in their daily lives. I'll dive into what drives them, the challenges they’ve overcome, and how they continue to grow through hard work and perseverance.
We’ll share it all over a cup of coffee. Grinds isn't just about coffee; it's about the moments of reflection, connection, and sometimes just pushing through. Tune in for authentic conversations, real-world insights, and a bit of wisdom brewed over 25 years of service.
