This application based technology is a must have for your organization. Check our their link at www.cjevolution.com I recently spoke to a friend who told me that life can be divided up into different storms. The Pre Storm - Everything seems to be going well in your life. Maybe you have some problems (like all of us), but they are manageable and you are getting by. The Storm - This can be anything from divorce, depression, anxiety etc. A lot of people, maybe YOU, are in a storm right now. You will make it through the storm, but you will need help. You will always need help. The Post Storm - You made it through. You are getting you life back together and hopefully you have learned from being in the storm. Remember that you can make it through anything. You have to develop the WILL to make it through. You are not an island - Remember that.  For a long time I thought I could go it alone. I was wrong. It was only after I reached out and landed at Shatterproof did I start to realize that life is a team sport. If you want to hear more about Shatterproof and how it can help you, please reach out to me - 303-960-9819. Go out and conquer your day and week.

Click on the Shatterproof link on my site or reach out to me directly at 303-960-9819.   Before we started the show my next guest and I were in mid conversation. He then said I should hit the record button, which I did. That is why Dr. Doug Brackmann is much smarter than me. Such a great show filled with great information so take some notes. Some people are born with a drive often seen in entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, inventors, adventurers and Navy SEALs. It’s in their DNA — research has shown that certain genes can manifest resilient and highly focused people who can also be impulsive and easily distracted. While these traits enabled our ancient ancestors to survive, if you have these traits today, it can create havoc in your life. You may be diagnosed with ADHD or OCD. But what the world tells you is a disorder may actually be your greatest gift. Dr. Doug Brackmann is a distinguished psychologist, author of Driven: Understanding and Harnessing the Genetic Gifts Shared by Entrepreneurs, Navy SEALs, Pro Athletes, and Maybe YOU and creator of the Driven Assessment and Shooting Meditation. With dual PhDs in Psychology, Douglas Brackmann specializes in practices that hone in on the genetic gifts of roughly 10% of the population. Dr. Doug has spent his entire career working with top performers to help them overcome their limiting beliefs, stop their cycle of shame, and achieve the ultimate personal and professional successes. He has now turned his sights on developing content, tools, and even a Driven community to empower Driven people everywhere to end self-sabotage and live the life they’ve always wanted.   Connect with Dr. Doug here: Email: meghan@IAMdriven.com www.iamdriven.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasbrackmann/ 1(858) 735.1667   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

You are never alone.    https://fherehab.com/services/first-responders/    I was once afraid. I was afraid to open up and tell people about the things I was dealing with and suffering from. But there was a time in my life, a dark time, where I wanted to end my life. That was my catalyst moment. That's when I reached rock bottom. I knew there were two options. 1) End my life 2) or seek help. I put my fear aside and picked up the phone for help. I know you are afraid. I was too, but you don't have to live in fear anymore. The Shatterproof Program is here for you and other first responders who are suffering.  Remember that no one can change your life but you. I believe in you. I love you. You are important.

If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to me at 3039609819.   https://fherehab.com/services/first-responders/   Some many of us, myself included, try to look into the future. We look into the future to try to determine what is going to happen to use personally and professionally but we always fall short and we get frustrated. When I was in therapy at Shatterproof I learned that I needed to live more in the moment. I learned how to cherish each moment. Cherish and be grateful for what was in my world at the moment. You see even if you are going through difficult times right now there is so much to be grateful for.  Living in the moment and stepping back from the things we can't control will bring you more peace and happiness. I remember hearing the following prayer when I was growing up. It's called the Serenity Prayer: " God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know there difference."  Go out and conquer your day, and live in the moment.    Stay tuned for more great guests on The Top Ranked Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

You know when I was in some of my darkest places I was ashamed and fearful of initially reaching out for help. As a first responder I was taught and encouraged to bury my issues. You know what I am talking about. The hardest thing I did was reach out, and I am forever grateful I did. I was also very afraid of what others might think of me. Family and Friends. I then came to realize that I didn't care what others might think of me because my health and wellbeing were more important. I was grateful of the outpouring of support and love from family and friends.  Stop worrying about what others think. Sure we all want to be accepted but remember YOU you need to work on YOU first so you can be better for others.  Please be safe and stay tuned for more great guests on the CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Detecting illicit drugs, explosives and now COVID-19. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com  There were many times in the past where I would wake up, and dread the day ahead. All the BS that was facing me, and wondering whether or not I would be able to get through it. I lived like this for many years. Maybe YOU are right now.  But something happened when I hit the bottom in my life. I realized that every trouble, challenge or defeat was making me stronger. You see, I don't believe that things JUST HAPPEN to me anymore. I believe life happens to me for a reason. To make me stronger and to provide me with the experience and education to move forward and hopefully not make the same mistakes. Life is not easy. It was never designed that way. Sure, there are highs and lows, but I believe that so much of life is the attitude we bring to it, and guess what? YOU CONTROL YOUR ATTITUDE.  So much of life is wrapped up with YOUR mindset. If you want to be happier, then change your mindset. Yes, it takes hard work and action but YOU control that. No one else.  I believe in YOU. I love you and will always support you. Go out and conquer your day, and remember you can reach out to me at www.cjevolution.com Patrick

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. Thank you so much for the support. Please remember our first responders who protect and serve everyday, especially in this holiday season. A big Thank You to all the Criminal Justice professionals out there. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Please be safe!  It is such an honor to be partnered with Detectachem. This amazing company is helping keep our criminal justice professionals / military personnel safer with their mobile threat technology. This application-based technology is a must-have for your organization. Detecting illicit drugs, explosives and now COVID-19. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com  I am very excited to have Bridget Truxillo on the show. She is the first guest I have had on the podcast in a long time and it was an honor talking with her. SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE: David III (Bridget's son) stopped in to say hi and wave. =) Bridget Truxillo is the Founder and CEO of Protective Wellness. Bridget knows the challenges law enforcement officers face, both outside and inside their agencies based on her experiences as a Deputy Sheriff in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida. Bridget started out in Patrol, but very quickly transferred to the  Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit (NOCU), and also became the only female member of  the SWAT team.  During her time in the NOCU, Bridget routinely conducted undercover buys of narcotics and effectuated many arrest and search warrants as a result of her undercover operations.  While on the SWAT team, Bridget participated in serving search warrants, active shooter and hostage situations, competed twice in SWAT Round-up International  (an International SWAT competition), as well as many hundreds of hours of training. Although being a Deputy Sheriff allowed Bridget to serve the public, Bridget realized she wanted to find a way to serve the law enforcement and first responder community directly so she left law enforcement to attend law school as a means to glean the knowledge and skills necessary for this purpose. After 13+ years practicing law in civil litigation, Bridget was able to curate a unique business dedicated to representing and supporting law enforcement officers and first responders. Bridget is a graduate of the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with a B.S. degree in Environmental Horticulture (yes, she really likes plants), and the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Miami, FL with a J.D.  Bridget is licensed to practice law in Texas, Florida, New York and Louisiana, and lives in Houston, TX with her beautiful, smart, and fun husband and three kids.

Grateful to be alive and grateful for all the close family and friends that are in my life and continue to support and love me. As many of you know, not too long ago I was in a dark place. I was depressed, stressed, fearful and I wanted to take my life. It wasn't until I reached out to my network that I found the place I needed to be. The Shatterproof program for first responders at FHE saved my life.    I love life now and I am excited for what the future holds for me. I am no longer fearful about what I can't control. I focus on what I can control and I take it day by day. My treatment taught me the tools to guide me along the way.    My new mission is to help the first responder / veteran communities more than I have been. Through my public speaking, coaching and podcast I hope to help in more of a direct way.

We all go through difficult times. The one thing I am learning is that self-pity is a dangerous cycle that will keep you in the rabbit hole. Self pity does absolutely nothing for you and where you want to go in your life. Self pity gives you more self pity. How do you get out of this cycle? One way is to practice gratitude. It might be hard at first, but gratitude is the foundation where everything else is built.  Stop your self pity and start your growth.   Stay tuned for more great shows on The CJEvolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Personal and professional pressures seem to consume our day's and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I know. I want to share a technique that I have started to utilize that helps ground me. Some of you might have heard of this technique, but some probably haven't.  It's called: 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 1 If you have a moment sit down and try to relax. Do the following.  5 - See five things that are in front of you. 4 - Feel four things you can touch. 3 - Things you can hear. 2 - Things you can smell. 1 - Thing you can taste.   This is a powerful exercise that I hope you utilize throughout YOUR day. Remember, stress doesn't have to consume you.   Stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

The unit made over 250 felony drug arrests between 2012 and 2015, and was responsible for a 40% reduction in crime during that period.

My response is always the same. I believe that better days are ahead and I will be stronger and more resilient because of my challenges. And, I am putting forth the ACTION to make this happen for me. You have challenges too. We all do. What are you doing to change your circumstances? Are you hoping that things will get better? Hope is never a good strategy by itself. There has to be ACTION behind it.  You have to believe in yourself first, before anything can come to you. Visualization, Manifestation and Meditation are all good starts towards achieving your goals and dreams, but remember it all comes down to the INNER WORK first.    Go out and conquer your day and week and stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Michael is an award-winning director/producer. He owns and runs Gier Productions, a Full-Service Global Film & Video Production Company. Michael produced and directed the award-winning documentary film – Wounded Heroes. Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) among our veterans is a serious problem with over 20 veterans a day taking their lives by suicide. And just like veterans; firefighters, police officers, and other first responders not only deal with PTS, but they also have very high suicide rates. Most are given prescription drugs but as many have said, medication is just a band-aid over a wound that will never heal. Our Heroes deserve more than just a band-aid and so director/producer Michael Gier went on a mission and found successful alternative treatments that give anyone battling PTS their lives back. This award-winning film gives HOPE and literally saves lives.​   A great and informative interview.   Wounded Heroes - https://vimeo.com/453850297   Find Michael here: https://www.michaelgier.com/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgier/   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
