The Warrior Servant Leader Podcast
Warrior Servant Leader Podcast Welcome to the Warrior Servant Leader Podcast, hosted by Pat Welsh, a man whose extraordinary life has shaped his mission to help others lead with courage, service, and purpose. Left in an orphanage in Dublin, Ireland, at just three days old and adopted by an American family 16 months later, Pat’s life journey taught him that true leadership begins long before you hold a title. It begins with resilience, faith, and service to others.

Every week, Pat delivers: TACO Tuesday (Take Action Crush Obstacles) where you will get real talk and practical tools to break through life’s toughest challenges. Wednesday Wisdom where Pat unpacks leadership insights gained from decades in the trenches and on the frontlines. Tough Love Thursday where Pat delivers honest conversations about the mindset and heart-set needed to lead with honor and faith. More than a podcast, this is a community for those who want to live and lead with purpose. Whether you wear a badge, work in the corporate world, or lead your family, you will walk away with tactical strategies and inspiring stories to help you show up stronger every single day. This is not a show for armchair experts or keyboard warriors. This is for real people who face real challenges and are ready to take real action. If you want to become a Warrior, Servant, and Leader in every part of your life, you belong here.

I get we all have feelings and emotional responses to things that happen in our lives – we are human beings…..we all have good days and bad days, maybe even bad weeks or months……we can’t live life on that roller coaster of how we feel at any given moment.
We can’t treat people on a daily basis based on how we feel that day.
We also can’t suppress our feelings and emotions and just suck it up buttercup.
I saw this quote by ...
TACO Tuesday! Take Action Crush Obstacles! Welcome back to another episode of The Warrior Servant Leader Podcast.
In LE, many labels are attached to the job called Police Officer – some not so nice. Law Enforcer. Protector. Cop. Pig. Problem Solver. Servant. Social Worker. Warrior. Guardian. Sheepdog. Seems everyone has their idea of how to describe, label, in one or two words what makes a police officer a police officer.
Can You Survive a Courtroom Battle?
Do you hate testifying in court? I can understand why. Defense attorneys are mostly the south end of a north bound horse. Testifying is the worst kind of public speaking – especially if you aren’t trained in how to testify.
You feel like you are wasting your time, with an unprepared prosecutor, while you waste your time off sitting in the hallway waiting to testify. Well, it doesn’t have...
How often have you been hung by your tongue? I lost count how many times it has happened to me. How many times I have said something I regretted, the moment it left my lips.
How many times have you been basically told to STFU and stay in your own lane? How many times have you communicated that very message to somebody else?
Today's episode takes a deeper look at shooting from the lip, including when you are actually being c...
Sometimes we get so overwhelmed trying to be everything to everybody. If you want it done right, do it yourself -right? Nope!
Sometimes it is not your job. Some days your job is simply to get the loaves of bread and fish and give them to the person whose job is to multiply them to feed the 5,000.

How do you define success? Not an easy questions to answer, is it? Why? Because “success” is someone else’s opinion of your value or worth to them. Success is in the eye of the beholder.
“Success” is overrated. It can be given or taken away in the blink of an eye. One day you are the national hero, the next you are being vilified as a nazi – just ask Elon Musk. One day you are the record holder in your sport, the next you are...
Are you a Doubting Thomas? I am…..sometimes. Why did Thomas doubt others had seen Christ in person after the resurrection? Was it fear, was it envy that he missed it, was it guilt for not being there? We probably will never know for certain.
What we do know he said he would not believe unless he came face to face with Jesus and put his fingers in the nail wounds and his hand into the His side.
How often are we like Thomas an...
Do you want to dream more, do more, be more, but feel stuck in life? Are you tippy-toeing through work life, home life, community life, faith life, afraid of change, failure, what others might say about you?
You are not alone!. Today's episode jumps in to the deep end and begins the conversation of what obstacles are you facing and how to start the process of crushing them.
This is a journey, one that doesn't end until you t...
Today’s episode is kind of a wakeup call to all of us – me included. It’s about time we get radical in our thinking, acting and talking in LE. We’re going to talk about those obstacles we face personally and professionally in becoming WSL at home, work and in the community – and how we can respond and crush those obstacles.
It’s Time Law Enforcement Got Revolutionary!
You want to dream more, do more, be more and make a difference in this world but just seem to be surviving day to day? Does your morale suck? At work, home, just everyday life? You are not alone!
Been there and even sometimes regress back there. There is hope. Even though at times you just want to curl up, be left alone and retire on duty – you can bounce back and have success and satisfaction on the job, at home, in your fai...
Ever feel like you are being tested down to your last nerve? Why can't people just leave you alone and let you do our job? Some days you just want to retire on duty and say F'it? You're not alone. Today, The Warrior Servant Leader Podcast, TACO Tuesday, shares some insights on how you can take action and crush this obstacle to living the focused and fulfilling life you want.
There seems to be a lot of division and banter going on these days between politicians, media, and Homeland Security. Today's Tough Love Thursday is actually a throwback to an episode from 2021.
It's a Tough Love message to law enforcement, the media, the public and others. It's a gut punch, and kids should not be listening.
I Hate Change! Been there, said that. Probably most of us have. Why? What's in it for me? These and more questions are answered and how we can crush this obstacle in our journey and growth as a Warrior, Servant, Leader, Ep. 7, on TACO Tuesday.
"What is the meaning of life?" "Why am I here?" All good questions. All the wrong questions.
Today we explore the big question - what is my purpose in life?
Buckle up! You will be a bit surprised at my answer.
We all have a story to tell. And every story is powerful in its own way. The key is to share your story and let God use it in His way in the lives of those who get to hear it.
We all have a Life Sentence - and I don't mean prison time. Join us and learn what it means to tell your story and to know your life sentence.
I have been a student of the Warrior Servant Leader Mindset for a very long time. In that time I have received some great advice and some terrible advice.
Today I share a few of the worst bits of advice I ever got. Give you a hint - I think everyone of us was brought up getting the same bad advice. Buckle up, this is going to go quickly.
Taking action and crushing challenges ofter requires us to suck it up. And the hardest thing to suck up is to ask for or give forgiveness, especially when we are really pissed off about being messed with.
It took me 5 long years of being angry to learn this difficult lesson. Buckle up, it was a gut punch.
We all face tough challenges. The real test is how we respond. Today I share my Mini-Mike Tyson story and look into the 5 phases of a law enforcement career and how they impact our response to tough challenges.
Welcome to the 1st episode of Warrior Servant Leader (WSL) Podcast. Today we will discuss what it means to be a WSL in every aspect of your life and a little bit about my over 65 year journey to get to where I am at today. We'll share some practical tips and challenges to grow your WSL mindset.
