Hey, what's going on, guys?

So we got a special addition to our podcast this week.

And the reason it's special is because we're bringing on one of AJ's mentors.

And this is somebody that AJ's known for a long time.

And it's kind of funny because their relationship, and I'll let AJ talk about a little bit more.

But they've talked about a lot of very heated discussions or heated issues that we're seeing going on or portraying right now in our

society. So, AJ, kind of tell me about your relationship with our next guest today.

Yeah, I mean, the relationship is, you know, big brother, little brother. You know, I look at him like

not only a mentor and someone who's had a huge impact on my life, but legitimately like a big

brother to me. And he looks at me like

a little brother. But we have had very passionate conversations surrounding race and the profession

of law enforcement. But the cool thing is at the end of those conversations, we always walk away,

one, not mad at each other. And and two with a better understanding of where each

one of us is coming from based off of our experiences and whatnot so he recently published this book

the conversation and diving into it it's exactly that you know it's it's it's a rough conversation

to have but it is a conversation that is needed especially today and especially within our profession and you know it's it's it's a rough conversation to have but it is a conversation that is needed

especially today and especially within our profession and you know it's funny that's what i value

most about this podcast is we're able to have these tough conversations with everybody i mean from

ardy who was convicted of murder to you know leon who was shot five times by police and so um I just thought this was going to be a good conversation today to be had just because

it's stuff we need to talk about, is stuff we need to hear.

And so we're excited to bring it to you guys.

And I got to give you guys this disclaimer.
