Summary

Christian Lane is a former Canadian Border Services Chief officer and the man behind the 10-8 Podcast. We discuss his journey into law enforcement, immigration, drug prohibition, human trafficking, transition and so much more.

@As a former law enforcement and intelligence professional, I built my career on a foundation of integrity, trust, and unwavering commitment to service. Throughout my years of conducting hundreds of interviews, I developed a deep ability to listen, analyze, and truly understand people’s needs—skills I now bring to my role as a mortgage professional. My goal is to ensure every client feels heard, valued, and confident in the decisions we make together.

In addition to my work, I am the founder and host of the Team Ten Eight Podcast, a platform dedicated to honoring those who serve our communities. From emergency nurses and paramedics to police officers, firefighters, military members, and veterans, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with incredible individuals who embody dedication and sacrifice.Community service has always been close to my heart. I’ve served on a mayoral task force, mentored youth through Big Brothers, and even ran for city council to advocate for positive change.

I also hold several leadership roles, including as a board member for the Canadian Peace Officer Memorial Association, and advisory board member and Ambassador for the True Patriot Love Foundation. I’m honored to have received the Peace Officer Exemplary Service Medal and the King Charles III Coronation Medal, recognitions that underscore my lifelong dedication to serving others.

Now, as a mortgage professional with the Invis - Pinto Mortgage Group, I bring the same dedication and integrity to helping my clients navigate the mortgage process. Whether you’re buying your first home, renewing, or refinancing, I’m here to guide you with expertise and care every step of the way. "We rise by lifting others.""

0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by Team Builder, yet another company that's doing great things for the first responder community.
0:07.0	As a strength and conditioning coach myself who also trains tactical athletes,
0:11.0	dissemination of wellness information is one of the biggest challenges.
0:16.0	Now, TeamBuilder is the premier strength and conditioning software for tactical athletes. And there are several features that really impressed me.
0:23.6	Firstly, there is a full exercise library, so you, the personal trainer, does not have to create that within your own department.
0:31.6	Secondly, you can send out programming, but also individualize, which I love.
0:36.6	So you blanket program for everyone.
0:39.4	Now you can tweak based on someone's injury, someone's need to maybe drop some body composition,
0:45.0	rather than having to write a program for every single person on their own.
0:49.6	TeamBuilder also allows you to build custom questionnaires to collate health and wellness data. It integrates
0:55.7	with wearables. And I think one of the most important things is obviously it tracks. To me,
1:01.3	it's imperative that we as a profession start tracking our people from day one and then over the full
1:08.6	span of their career, therefore catching potential wellness issues and injuries before they happen.
1:16.0	Now, if you want to try TeamBuilder, they are offering you, the audience of the Behind the Shield podcast, a free 14-day trial to experience all of the features.

1:48.3	my absolute honor to welcome on the show, Canadian Border Services Officer and the
1:53.5	man behind the 10-8 podcast, Christian Lane.
1:58.2	Now, in this conversation, we discuss a host of topics from his journey into law
