How do you know when to call it quits, especially if you're in the first half of your career? It's incredibly difficult to give blanket advice because everyone and everyone's circumstances are unique and constantly changing. For some officers, the best advice is wait a moment for the storm to pass. For other officers it's time or maybe past time to get out.
Today we're talking to former deputy Josh Lively. Josh started a promising career in law enforcement but soon discovered this might not be the career that fulfills his calling in life. We're going to talk about the process of figuring out what to do when you're miserable as a police officer. What does that mean? How do you know what decision to make? How far do you push it before you need to eject?
My guess is that every police officer can sympathize with what you're going to hear Josh say. But there are going to be distinct camps of listeners to this episode. Those who hear Josh's story and recognize it as their own. And those who don't. But I hope you listen to Josh's wisdom on this matter because we all know cops who need to stay and others for whom it is time to go.
Josh's podcast is called the "Practically Christian Podcast"
Music is by Chris Haugen and by Winking Fox
