Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. A short burst of motivation and inspiration to get you started on your new week. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who work in the criminal justice field. Thank you for what you do. Remember you are honored cherished and you are loved.  This is the last Microcast Monday before we head into the new year and I want to thank EVERYONE for making this podcast the success it is. Because of YOU we are a TOP Ranked Criminal Justice Podcast.  As you head into the new year, you need to focus on YOU. Then you need to focus on the following FIVE things that have to do with YOU. 1) Health - Your body runs it all - If you aren't healthy or you constantly feel thoughts of being unhealthy, EVERYTHING else will suffer.  2) Your Mind - Mindset is key. Remember you are a MAGNET. Like attracts Like. If you are constantly thinking about the things you don't want in your life - guess what? You will get what you don't want. 3) Family and Friends - Why didn't I put this first? Because if you don't have yourself in a good place how can you be good for your family and friends. I am not trying to imply that family and friends are not important, because they obviously are. However, you need to take care of yourself FIRST.  4) Finances - Money isn't everything, but it is important in our lives. If your finances are a mess then it will no doubt contribute to your stress and worry going into the new year. Make getting your finances in order a priority in your life.  5) Work - Not that work isn't important, but if you are not taking care of yourself then your work will suffer. I speak from experience. And, if you hate your job, a lot of people do, then it's time to make a change. There are plenty of opportunities out there.    There are more we can put on this list, but I think these are important for you to get you started in 2021. They will be the foundation of your success.    Remember that you can do anything you want in your life. Reach out to me, I would love to hear from you.    Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

We are are so honored to be partnered with a great company liked Detectachem. Detectachem is helping keep our brave men and women safer by offering mobile threat detection that fits in the palm of your hand. Detecting illicit drugs, explosives and now COVID-19. This application-based technology is a MUST have for your organization. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com Take care of yourself first. Imagine you are a cup. The resources you earn each day is water. The energy, time, and resources you give to others are holes in the bottom of your cup. A cup that is losing water is a life filled with desperation, anxiety, and stress. But when your cup is gaining water you are happier, hopeful, and excited. If you give more each day than you get, your life will get worse and worse. Fill. Your. Cup. First. (Garrett Petticrew) How do you fill your cup first? Start by building your foundation. Your foundation consists of the following: Body and Mind – Exercise and meditate. Remember your body is the only one you will get. Take care of it. It’s your temple. Your body and mind control it all. Meditate. I love meditation. If you would have told me about it a couple years ago, I probably would have laughed at you. I don’t laugh anymore because it has worked for me and it will work for you. Sleep – Believe it or not you need it. Stop thinking you are fine with 4-5 hours a sleep. You aren’t. Deep down you know it. You are just in that cycle. I know because I was once there. Your body needs to re-charge and regenerate. It accomplishes this with much needed sleep. You should be getting 7-8 hours of sleep. And, if you are working Graveyards you can still get the sleep you need. You just need to make it a priority. Food – Food is the energy your body needs to operate at your peak. We all know what is good and bad for us, but many of us choose the bad. Start eating better NOW. Your body and mind will thank you. Remember – FILL YOUR CUP FIRST   Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick   Reference to this show   https://medium.com/@gpetticrew/how-to-become-independent-fill-your-cup-first-e29456f2cc16

Subscribe to the show and give us that 5-Star Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts.  Welcome back to Microcast Monday. Remember Monday's are great days. It's day to reset. Reset in the right direction with a brand new day and a brand new week.  As we all reflect on this difficult year, I want you to dig deep into with your happiness. Are you happy? If yes, then great. If not why? Remember that YOU control your happiness. Not anyone else. Don't give that power away. Why would you? So many people look to alternatives for happiness and they don't realize that they have all the power. Your mind is powerful. Your mind is a magnet. Your thoughts will manifest into reality. If you are unhappy, don't focus on what is bringing you unhappiness. Stop giving it energy. Rather, focus on people, places, memories etc. that MAKE YOU HAPPY.  Also, decide to be happy rather than being right. Sometimes a friend, spouse or child might do something wrong, make a mistake etc. Don't focus on what they did wrong or the fact you were right. Just be happy. You can't control everything, but you can control your thoughts and how you react to life.  As you go throughout the day, practice being happy. Remember you have control over every aspect of your life.   Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

I am so excited to have my next guest on the show. Rodger Ruge stopped by and Rodger says the following. “Employee assistance, peer support and chaplaincy programs are failing because they are not used to their full potential. These traditional programs have never successfully addressed the stigma of suspicion and “career suicide” that using those services can create. Rodger created HeroTalk which offers a way for First Responders to take back control of their personal and professional lives by empowering real-world solutions that you, The Hero Community, can put into daily practice. They are about helping you build a level of resiliency that goes beyond mere survival, they help you THRIVE.” In his previous life he was a 20 year, in the trenches, law enforcement veteran and survivor of post-traumatic stress. I’ve done just about every job possible in a law enforcement career…patrol, detective, street crimes, gang enforcement, mentoring, coaching, training management, motors and SWAT.With the diversity of his background, by far his most favorite form of service is teaching, coaching and EMPOWERING others to their grandest visions of whom and what they wish to become. His greatest joy is helping clients get 'unstuck' and to hold them accountable to their declared actions steps as they move toward their goals, dreams and desires. Ultimately, every REAL COACH works toward the day where their client possesses the tools necessary to making coaching unnecessary - where the client is empowered to achieve anything they set their mind too, and that moves the needle forward on Life in the most profound way possible. Rodger is also a podcast of the successful show, HeroTalk.org. Building resiliency for the First Responder Hero Community through my podcast, HeroTalk.org, my Life Coaching practice and my Mindfulness and Resiliency courses for First Responders.   Such a great show with Rodger Ruge.   You can find Rodger here: http://www.herotalkpodcast.com/   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com

I wasn’t sure if my next guest, Erik Salzenstein, was going to come on the show but I am so happy he did. At age 23, Erik found himself facing life in prison. With his back against the wall, he finally had to face his biggest enemy up until that point…..himself. Erik had to go to prison to find freedom, but the truth is, he realized he lost his freedom long before that day in the courtroom. He recognized we can be in “prison” without physically being in prison. He spent 4 years relentlessly pursuing personal growth, coaching, speaking, running workshops, and even being published in a newspaper for a speaking event while incarcerated. Erik is a powerful and dynamic inspirational speaker whose message focuses on helping people break from from the chains that are holding them back and start creating a life of freedom and impact. Erik is a dynamic speaker and incredible coach who radiates and brings out a special energy in all who he comes into contact with. It’s clear this was what he was meant to do. If you want to energize your team, motivate, and inspire them to start taking stronger action Erik’s signature talk “From Prison to Purpose” is an easy decision. Erik’s story is one that truly shows the power of change and what’s possible. From addiction, lack of identity, and no direction to a life of purpose, fulfillment, and impact. From defunding the police, to finding your purpose this is a must listen to show.

I know I do sometimes, but what is Luck really? Luck is defined as "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions." While I do believe that sometimes things do happen by chance, I believe you can attract more luck by THE ACTIONS YOU TAKE. The most successful people are viewed as "lucky" because of the ACTIONS they have TAKEN in their life. Remember that NOTHING falls into your lap. We live in an instant gratification society, but in the real world ACTION must be take in order to  become successful and hence MORE LUCKY.  Remember you can control how much luck comes your way. Success leave clues and it's is a byproduct of ACTION.  Go after your dreams and goals. Not tomorrow, next week or next year - NOW. The more action you take the more luck you will make.  Go out and conquer your day and week and stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Travis is an internationally touring comedian and motivational speaker who spent 14 years in the military and emergency services as a U.S. Marine, Police Officer and Firefighter. Whether performing at corporate events and fundraisers to top comedy clubs, colleges and multiple tours overseas for the troops, Travis has become a comedic demand in multiple arena’s who always leaves his audiences craving more! Known as the military and emergency services voice of comedy, the topics of Travis’ humor are limitless: from being raised in South Carolina to married life and fatherhood to his time in uniform and much more. Whether dodging bullets, chasing bad guys, running into burning buildings or just being a dad, Travis is always FUNNY UNDER FIRE! Appearing on Gotham Comedy Live, HULUTV’s Coming to the Stage, National Geographic and NBC’s Night Shift, Travis was dubbed “Artist To Watch” by Young Hollywood Magazine.

IGNITING top level comedy stages for over a decade, he’s a comedian with an extremely unique and marketable edge that has never been seen before, thus allowing him to connect and develop a very loyal brotherhood style fan base of military, emergency services personnel and their supporters from all over. In June of 2007 while working a furniture warehouse fire in Charleston, South Carolina, 9 of his brother firefighters tragically perished in the line of duty while rescuing a trapped civilian. Due to injuries that he sustained in that same fire, Travis was forced to leave the job that he truly loved.   Such a great and inspirational show.   You can find Travis here:   https://www.travishowze.com/   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

I know I do sometimes, and when I start going down that path I come back to my why. I think about my path in life and why I am doing the things I am doing at this moment.  If you know your why - Great. I am willing to bet that a LOT of you don't know your why. I think about the movie Forrest Gump and the feather at the end of the movie that is getting tossed around by the wind. That is MOST people out their.  A lot of people are on their current path because of other factors. Maybe your parents told you to go on a certain path. Maybe you think you can't do anything else with your life. Maybe you think you are STUCK in the position you are in right now (Side note- I don't believe we are ever really stuck).  Take some time to figure out your why? Once you do that you will get Clarity and it will improve your LIFE. Success if yours. Remember to cultivate and develop your why.  Stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com Such an honor to have Christopher Strom on the show. Chris is a former US. Marine and Retired Sergeant with the NYPD Intelligence Division. In 2007, Chris was recruited by the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), a government agency that devised top-secret strategies for combating IED’s in Iraq in Afghanistan. As the lead tactical debriefing officer, he participated in over 110 combat missions and 91 captures of high-value targets (HVT’s) in Southern Iraq and performed more than 200 Battlefield Interrogations. Chris details his journey in his best-selling book Brooklyn to Baghdad an NYPD Intelligence Cop Fights Terror in Iraq. In his book, Chris applies his street-cop tactics and interrogation skills against a lethal insurgency that had infected Iraq. A group of retired Special Forces soldiers and law enforcement experts came together to form the counterinsurgency group codenamed “Phoenix Team.” Exposing the corruption of both the Iraqi and US governments, the team faced serious setbacks and challenges. Brooklyn to Baghdad shows the effectiveness of Phoenix Team, their ability to process forensic evidence and human intelligence gleaned through interrogations at the point of capture to provide direct targeting for follow-on missions. This memoir also illustrates the politics of Washington, DC, and the US Army in the war-fighting effort, which continually hampered complete success while simultaneously preserving career aspirations. Throughout are many humorous and emotional anecdotes that reveal the men behind the missions and the toll the theater of war takes on real human lives Such a great interview with an American Hero. You can find Chris here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-strom-96003465/ https://cs-intel.com/ You can find his book here:   https://www.amazon.com/Brooklyn-Baghdad-Intelligence-Fights-Terror/dp/1641601027/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=christopher+strom&qid=1602884151&sr=8-1   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

For sixteen years, he was a prison guard in California's highest security prisons, serving meals to gang leaders, serial killers in lockdown cells, and patrolling exercise yards filled with violent felons while unarmed and outnumbered 1000-to-2. He belonged to an elite unit called the Investigative Services Unit (Internal Affairs), responsible for solving horrific crimes inside the walls. He was a decorated veteran officer. He became the largest "whistle-blower" to uncover a group of rogue prison guards who called themselves "The Green Wall."The Green Wall is a real-life drama of one man's courage to do the right thing against the California State Prison System. It is an unblinking look at what can go wrong when only one person is willing to stand up and speak for what is right, against almost insurmountable odds. Vodicka's televised state senate testimony exposed a scandal that led to resignations, transfers, sudden retirements, and reforms of the system that are still underway. The story is a classic tale of the triumph of personal integrity in the most dishonest place imaginable. A very revealing show.   You can find D.J.

What are you spending your energy on? Are you spending your energy on people and things that are not advancing you personally and professionally? For many years I did this. I had to learn to focus my energy on the positive, not the negative. We all have people in our life that are energy vampires. Those people SUCH the energy out of us. In turn we can become negative and cynical. This drains our energy. Remember you control what and who you spend your time and energy with. Take your energy back today and turn your life around. Go out and conquer your Monday and week.   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Thank you, Crystal McCoy, for the great suggestion. Crystal is a LEO in Colorado, and I thank her for her service. So, why are you overthinking all the time? Do you realize that when you do this you are not living in the moment? You are also probably not being optimistic or positive when you are in this state of mind. Take your power back! Realize that you DON’T HAVE CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING. Also remember that the things we often worry about often never come to fruition and if they do, they are never as big as we made them in our minds. Stop overthinking everything and take back your life.   Stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
