What an amazing conversation I had with Cyndi Doyle, as I like to call her the savior of the law enforcement relationship. She comes from experience and shares what she has discovered to give Leo couples the tools to win and live a life of love, gratitude, and intimacy. She's the real deal and we uncovered the reasons why we fail at relationships but more importantly we discussed what we can do to address those issues and get ahead of it. Real world problem solving!!

CYNDI DOYLE, LPC-S, NCC, CDWF, CISM

Cyndi is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas and a Nationally Board Certified Counselor (NCC). She is a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator for the programs created by Dr. Brené Brown including The Daring Way™ and Rising Strong™.

Cyndi embodies the motto Show Up, Be Seen, Live Brave™ by continually stepping outside her zone of comfort. She shifted her life in 2014 when she was faced with the reality of either never trying a single one of her "crazy" ideas from her "Big Idea Fairy" (B.I.F.) or living life a little scared and trying. She now uses fear as an indicator that something is meaningful and worth trying rather than running away. #fearismylovelanguage

In 2020, the American Counseling Association awarded Cyndi the Samuel T Gladding Unsung Heros Award for her work with first responders and in the counseling field and Texas Counseling Association awarded her the Presidential Award for her continual work and support in the counseling field.

This week I had the privilege to sit down with Roland Clee, retired law enforcement professional of 26 years and friend. Roland was instrumental during the development and implementation of large scale / strategic operations and initiatives for the Orlando PD, and proved to be an enormous value to all he came in contact with. Doing all of this, despite the lowly title of Police Service Officer. Titles should never define the man, in in Rolands case thankfully, a bunch of folks he worked with were smart enough to know that to be true. Ronald and I discuss the problematic future of law enforcement, recruitment, retention, and the ever looming threat of Federal absorption. Sit back and give it a listen, and come away knowing a little bit more than you did for not listening. Until next week, take care of yourself, and each other, God Bless, John

This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down with retired LEO and Air Force Veteran, Doug White. Doug recently authored, "Hiding In Plain Sight- The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward" . We discussed his career and life, the failures, and more importantly the lessons learned. Doug is paying it forward in a meaningful, impactful way. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come away a better version of you for doing so.

More About Doug:
My journey spans over 30 years of service as a veteran and law enforcement officer—a journey filled with both triumphs and profound challenges. Like so many in these fields, I encountered the heavy toll that trauma can exact on the mind, body, and spirit. My breaking point came one night, alone on a midnight shift, behind a school with my hand on my pistol, considering an irreversible option.

But I was saved by grace, by the unwavering love and strength of my wife, and by her faith in God. That moment didn’t just pull me back—it set me on a new path. A path not focused on trauma, but on growth, resilience, and transformation.

Today, I’m the founder of Tell This Story LLC, an organization dedicated to empowering veterans, first responders, and their families. My mission is to help others grow beyond the struggles we often face in silence. It's not about living in the shadow of our trauma or retelling the same story over and over—it’s about the hard work of becoming better, transitioning into a healthy and fulfilling life after service, and embracing the strength that comes from being honest and vulnerable.

I wrote 'Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward' as a cautionary tale, sharing my personal and professional journey, but more importantly, as a message of hope. I believe in the power of owning our stories—not as victims, but as victors. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to offer a safe space for others to share their experiences, ask for help, and find healing and growth....
