James is also the author of the bestselling book on family safety & preparedness entitled, What’s Your Plan? A Step-By-Step Guide To Keep Your Family Safe During Emergency Situations. James and Patrick also talk about life after Law Enforcement. James says the following:   “Having the courage to step outside your comfort zone is never an easy task. I retired from law enforcement in 2011. A noble but dangerous profession. I decided to go back to school and earn an advanced degree. Since retiring from Act 1, I have attained numerous professional achievements. With that being said, I am a much wiser, more well-rounded individual for doing so. My best advice would be to face your fears head-on, take a deep breath and simply go for it. Make your dreams a reality. You can't change the world by living in fear. You can't change the world by talking about it. Go out and do it. Today. Right now.” You can find James & his book here:   https://jamesademeo.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-a-demeo-m-s-b1bb5654/     Stay tuned for more great guests and content on the CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com     Patrick    

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who protect us everyday who work in the criminal justice field. Also, thanks to all the brave men and women who protect this great country who serve in the US Military. I hope you have a great Monday and a start to your week. I recently had dinner with a relative this weekend who told me about a college professor he had  back in the day who taught him three things about life which really stuck with him. They stuck with me too, and I want to share them with you. 1) Read - Read everyday. Everything starts with reading and we do it everyday. While we often have to read things that don't necessarily inspire or motivate us sometimes, we should be reading something everyday that does. 2) Learn - We need to be learning something everyday. Learning is growth and with growth comes wisdom. 3) Suffer - As weird as it sounds we need to be suffering everyday to some degree. I am not talking about physical suffering, but I am talking about the suffering and adversity that helps us become better. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable is one of the paths to success.   Stay tuned for more great guests on the CJEvolution Podcast.   www.cjevolution.com     Patrick

Sean was at one time abusing alcohol, facing the real possibility of losing his military career and his family.  On St. Patrick's Day 2007, his house burned down after throwing a very large party that spiraled out of control.  He was left alone in the ashes by those who he thought were his friends. The only person left standing with him would later become my wife.  They were married July 2007, and in December of 2008, they had filed for divorce and called it quits. Having failed at marriage and not feeling accepted by anyone, he tried took my own life.  Due to my excessive drinking and negative thinking, he felt unloved and of no value. he sat on my bedroom floor in an empty house where his family used to be and put a gun in his mouth.  It was in this moment that he had given up.  With the help of my military family, Chaplains, and close family members, I have since recovered and turned to God for healing.  Through my Faith, I help others before they travel down that dark road. ​ ​ In 2009, after receiving treatment, he was recommended to become an Air Force Drill Instructor, called a Military Training Instructor (MTI).  It was here that an unknown passion was unlocked.  he fell in love with speaking, training, mentoring, and he found his purpose for life.  After four years, he learned how to tell my story.  In 2014, he became a Master Resilience Trainer for the U.S. Air Force and it's where he gained a platform to tell my testimony. He wrote my first book in 2016, titled, "Decisions: The Power to Overcome Self-Defeating Behaviors."  In 2017, he started my online radio show, Life Transformation Radio.  It has become his platform for transformation and to inspire the listeners to take MASSIVE in their life to live their dreams.   His love for helping others achieve their dreams and instilling in them that extra motivation to finish strong is at the forefront of every speech and presentation Sean delivers. He gives a personal GUARANTEE that the audience will leave motivated, fulfilled, and with a refreshed attitude. His main goal is to have a positive impact difference in the lives of everyone he meets, to help stop self-defeating behaviors, and to inspire change and transformation in their lives. His interactive training develops the participants' skills in the Mental, Social, Emotional, and Spiritual domains of Resilience which empowers them to withstand, recover, and grow through adversity, stress, and life's changing demands.   Find Sean here:   https://www.thesuccesscorps.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-douglas-a0890473/   Stay tuned for more great guests and content on the CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com         Patri

Dave is the President of his firm, Dave Sanderson Speaks International based out of Charlotte, NC. On January 15, 2009, Dave was one of the last passengers off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River, best known as The Miracle on the Hudson, considered to be the most successful ditching in aviation History. he has built a career as a motivational speaker, mentor and author. Recently named one of the top 100 Leadership Speakers in 2018 in Inc.com, Dave averages over 100 speeches a year for major corporations across the world. In his presentations, he shares and teaches “The 12 Principals for Business Success,” precepts that enabled him to become a top producer in some of the largest sales organizations in the world, and ultimately enabled him to survive the plane crash. In addition to being a top sales producer, he was Director of Security for internationally-renowned speaker, Tony Robbins. Dave has spoken at countless fundraisers that have raised approximately $14M for the American Red Cross. He continues to donate his speaker services to the organization as an expression of gratitude for the care he received from the first person he saw after he was rescued and transferred to land in New Jersey: A Red Cross volunteer with a blanket. His book, Moments Matter, details the lessons learned from the Miracle on the Hudson and how to take a potentially tragic experience, what he calls ‘you own personal plane crash’ and turn it into an opportunity to survive and “create your own flight plan”. Dave hosts a radio show, “Moments Matter with Dave Sanderson” which airs every Monday at 11am EST on Contact Talk Radio, IHeartRadio, and has a podcast that is heard weekly on C-Suite Radio. He also hosts an Amazon Daily Flash Briefing, “Dave Sanderson: Declassified” every weekday, sharing lessons and strategies from the top individuals in their field of expertise. He “declassifies” key strategies these successful leaders took to go from being excellent in their respective field to being “outstanding”. In his TEDx talk, Bouncing Back, Dave shares strategies on how to grow from your own “personal plane crash”, in order to thrive, a new area of research that AARP profiled Dave on, known as PTGS (Post Traumatic Growth Syndrome). He is a faculty member with Dominique Wilkins, Don Barden, Brittany Tucker and Steve Nedvidek at the Leadership Mindset Series based in Atlanta, GA. Dave knows that a true leader understands that support from others can provide the tools needed to be an even stronger role model.

Officer Joseph is a law enforcement consultant who has worked for the LAPD for over 24 years, twenty-two of those years in downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row community. From patrolling the streets or providing a shoulder for the community to lean on to meeting with public figures and advocating for change, Deon is driven to create an environment conducive to change for the homeless and those trying to reclaim their lives from the grip of addiction. He is an honest, faithful, passionate and caring man – traits he pours into his daily life and activities. For the past ten years, Deon has served as Senior Lead Officer in charge of safety of the people that live on Skid Row. Deon was able to help change the culture of Skid Row along with his fellow officers, via a grassroots approach as opposed to handcuffs. Over time, Deon discovered that he could not simply make arrests with any hopes of making lasting changes on Skid Row. Coupled with reducing crime in Skid Row, Deon helped build a better relationship between the LAPD and the homeless population they serve.  Deon is considered a subject matter expert on Skid Row crime and culture and has been sought out by multiple news organizations, filmmakers, and politicians to speak on issues related to Skid Row.  To accomplish changes to the culture of Skid Row, Deon collaborated with the community to develop programs such as the “Just Like U” Mentor program, which began in 2006 at the Union Rescue Mission.  The program was designed to motivate kids living in poverty to see themselves beyond their negative circumstance by placing mentors in front of them who have become successful, but whose lives mirrored the lives of the children.   In 2008, Deon created an education safety and self-defense seminar focused on the women of Skid Row called “Ladies Night.”  The goal of this program was to ensure that the women of Skid Row understood that no matter their race, criminal background or socioeconomic status, they had a fundamental right to report domestic violence and sexual abuse committed against them, and they would not be penalized for doing so.  In 2009, Deon began an outreach program with seven other officers that included passing out hygiene kits, as well as drug, housing, and job program information to the homeless to guide them away from the streets and into area programs. Working with housing programs within and outside of Skid Row, Deon was able to help house over 100 homeless people over eight years who were truly ready to take a chance and change their lives for the better. Deon along with his fellow officers were responsible for a 40% reduction in overall crime in Skid Row, and a 32% reduction in death from 2005 to 2009. Deon, with the help of the Skid Row community, has aggressively focused crime-fighting efforts on drug dealers who are not homeless and come down to Skid Row to sell drugs and alcohol inside and outside of the drug programs. Deon goes beyond policing the community of Skid Row, he has become a part of it, establishing relationships with a community that most believed would be impossible to do. Deon is proud to be able to show love to the people of Skid Row from an unexpected place. “I just want to be a strong voice in ending homelessness, saving women from being victimized and changing the negative culture and perception of police in t

He is also a leader in the science and art of Self-Mastery.  His inspiration for The Male Entrepreneur was his father, who ironically passed away shortly before seeing Purdeep’s vision come true. His father was an entrepreneur who had immigrated here from India with $11 in his pocket. He worked a minimum wage labor job for many years before starting his own business. Purdeep learned many lessons from his father. Positive attributes such as: values, being strong as a man, masculinity, and never giving up. But he also learned the challenges that came along with being a struggling entrepreneur: the feelings of guilt, not being good enough, and addictions. Seeing his father struggle and having struggled himself, Purdeep’s motivation is to ensure that other male entrepreneurs have the knowledge, tools and skills to create a more profitable business and fulfilling life for them and their family. He grew up in small town in British Columbia, Canada. He started working on an orchard at the age of 9 and at 16, he was managing over 50 people. He still considers himself to be an orchard boy as his family still has an orchard growing apples and cherries. Throughout his years, Purdeep was committed to studying successful businesses and was determined to find out what made one entrepreneur more successful over another. He spent thousands of hours studying the best businesses around the world and also attended four of the top business schools in North America such as MIT, Stanford, Ivey and Schulich. Prior to starting his own business, Purdeep was a successful executive at a multi-billion-dollar organization and led various divisions and initiatives such as Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, Operations, Project Management, and Innovation.  Now, Purdeep dedicates his time to helping other entrepreneurs and spending time with his family.  He also loves to podcast, workout, learn new things, and spend time in nature with animals.

Hello Everyone and welcome back to the show. It's time for MICROCAST MONDAY.   In this episode Patrick talk about 6 Ways to Break Worry Before it Breaks you. This is taken from the late great Dale Carnegie. Lifetime Plan for Success. How to Win and Influence People. 1) Crowd worry out your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best therapies ever devised for curing worry. 2) Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things - the mere termites of life - to ruin your happiness. 3) Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries. Ask yourself: "What are the odds against thing's happening at all?" 4) Cooperate with the inevitable. If you know a circumstance is beyond your power to change or revise, say to yourself: "It is so; it cannot be otherwise." 5) Put a "stop-loss" order on your worries. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth - And refuse to give it any more. 6) Let the past bury its dead. Don't saw sawdust.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! Happy Monday. I hope you have a fantastic week. Remember if you want to improve your life you have to change your mindset. In this MM I want to talk about the Power of Attraction. Remember these important things. 1) What you send out to the universe you are going to get in return - Positive or Negative. 2) Your thoughts become things. 3) When you feel good then your life is going to be good. 4) Whatever you're grateful for multiplies. If you aren't grateful for your life and other people in it, then something is wrong and you have to change. 5) What you see in your mind you attract in your life - Again, this can go both positive or negative.   Check out my latest article in Law Enforcement Today where I talk happiness and its up to you to change it. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/sick-of-being-unhappy-do-something-about-it/   Stay tuned for more great guests.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. I hope you all are doing well and your having a great Monday. Remember to have that positive mindset and everything else will fall into place. Everything you want out of life is on the other side of fear. Think about it. Everything you have ever achieved in your life was probably initially based in fear. You were scared to go for that promotion, you were scared to ask that person out, you were scared to start that business etc etc. When you overcome your fears you life will improve, period. We hope you have a great week and stay tuned for more great guests and content on the CJEvolution Podcast. I would love to hear from you so drop me a line.

Brad shares his hard-earned insights from more than two decades of work alongside thought-leaders such as Jim Collins and Malcom Gladwell, Fortune 500 CEOs and start-up entrepreneurs. He categorizes 20 essential leadership habits organized into three distinct filters he calls “the 3 Hs”: Humble (Who am I?), Hungry (Where do I want to go?) and Hustle (How will I get there?). These powerful words describe the leader who is willing to work hard, get it done, and make sure it’s not about him or her; the leader who knows that influence is about developing the right habits for success. In his book, H3 Leadership, Brad provides a simple but effective guide on how to lead well in whatever capacity the reader may be in. You are going to love this episode.
