(Trigger warning: This episode discusses school shootings and gun violence.)
In this heartfelt and heavy-load episode, and the first of a two-part episode, our guest, Ron and his supportive wife Sherri, unfolds a journey that started with a childhood dream to wear the badge, inspired at just 7 years old. From scrubbing the streets of crime as a SWAT team member for 11 years to being one of the first responders at the Columbine High School shooting, Ron shares the stains that stick with you and the grit it takes to press on.
We’ll tumble through stories of teamwork, partner dynamics, and some laugh-out-loud tales of camaraderie. He also irons out misconceptions about law enforcement and the ways media sometimes misfold the narrative.
It’s a deep wash of bravery, resilience, and a spin of humor you won’t want to miss. Tune in for the next episode to hear the rest of Ron and Sherri's adventures.
