About the Guest, Adam Kinakin:
In the Spring of 2019, the founder of ILET Summit, Adam Kinakin, started a new podcast called The Tactical Breakdown. The core premise was to give members of the public safety, emergency response, and military a “behind-the-scenes” look at how we create and deliver training.
The podcast got immediate traction by quickly reaching 50,000 downloads in over 82 countries, so in December 2019, a conversation started around delivering unmatched access to training to officers around the world. This initial concept became what is now the ILET Summit.
Fast forward to March 2020, Covid-19 restrictions had effectively shut down all training around the world and the inaugural International Law Enforcement Training (ILET) Summit was hosted 100% online to approx 10,000 law enforcement professionals from 76 countries.
The summit is still going strong today. More information can be found at https://www.ilet.network/company

Episode Show Notes: https://www.ontheblueline.com/podcast-show-notes
EPISODE OVERVIEW
In this episode:
Here are a few key points that I emphasize in this podcast episode:
-
Goal Setting and Prioritization: I talk about the importance of setting clear goals and identifying non-negotiables in life. I believe in planning and dedicating specific times to different priorities, such as work, family, and personal development, however I do not prescribe to the idea of a balanced life. Life is about seasons and growth is often found in these seasons.
-
Stepping Outside Comfort Zones: I discuss the concept that "freedom is found in fear," suggesting that personal growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. For me, challenging tasks like public speaking or business outreach can be intimidating, but they are essential for achieving my goals.

Why the WARRIOR MINDSET (Courage, Resilience & Purpose) matters in Law Enforcement & in Life | 176
See this Episodes complete SHOW NOTES at https://www.ontheblueline.com/podcast-show-notes
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Introduction (00:00:31:13 - 00:01:54:07)
Introduction to the podcast, emphasizing that while it is a law enforcement podcast, it offers something for everyone. I encourage listeners to engage through social media, email, and reviews, highlighting the importance of listener interaction and feedback.
The Story of the 300 Spartans (00:01:54:07 - 00:07:07:20)
I start with a powerful retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans faced an overwhelming Persian army. This historical narrative is used to illustrate the "warrior mindset"—the idea of standing firm in the face of impossible odds, which I then tie to modern-day challenges.
I connect the ancient story to the present, suggesting that the principles of courage, discipline, and resilience exhibited by the Spartans are still applicable, particularly to law enforcement officers.
Modern Examples of the Warrior Mindset (00:07:07:20 - 00:12:54:03)
I share a recent story of a Volusia County deputy rescuing a missing child from a pond. This real-life incident exemplifies the warrior mindset in action—acting decisively in high-pressure situations.
I touch on a social commentary made by Elon Musk, drawing parallels between popular resistance in fiction (e.g., "The Hunger Games," "Star Wars") and the reluctance to engage in real-life challenges. I use this to underscore the importance of recognizing and acting on one's principles in reality, not just in theory.
Key Principles of the Warrior Mindset (00:12:54:03 - 00:18:38:09)
Courage in the Face of Adversity: I discuss the necessity of courage, not just in professional situations but in personal life as well. I emphasize that resilience should be a daily practice, not just reserved for crises.
Mental Toughness Under Pressure: The ability to stay calm and focused under stress is highlighted as a crucial aspect of the warrior mindset. I connect this to both professional responsibilities and personal challenges.
Commitment to a Higher Purpose: I conclude by stressing the importance of having a clear "why"—a sense of purpose that drives one's actions. This purpose is what sustains individuals through difficult times and allows them to inspire others.
Overall Themes of the Podcast:
Integration of Personal and Professional Life: I repeatedly emphasize that the warrior mindset is not just for the job but is a way of life. The qualities that make a good law enforcement officer—courage, resilience, and purpose—should also guide personal decisions and interactions.
Call to Action: There is a strong motivational element throughout the podcast. I call on the listeners, especially those in law enforcement, to adopt and embody the warrior mindset both on duty and in your everyday lives.
PODCAST OVERVIEW
We know first-hand the struggle of trying not to take the job home with us and let it affect our families. We know the toll the law enforcement career can have on marriages and relationships. And we also have been frustrated by the lack of authentic leadership in our agencies.

In this episode, I sit down with Jerrod Hardy:
Over 21 years of law enforcement experience in assignments such as Patrol, SWAT, School Resource Officer, Training Coordinator, Academy Coordinator, Hiring, Recruiting and Background Investigations. I use these experiences, lessons learned and my love for coaching and writing to continue to give back to our law enforcement professionals as well as those who simply want more from life. I currently write for Policeone.com and have a regular column, The Coaches Corner, in which I share defensive tactics information as well as career and transitional advice and experiences.
As someone who bucked tradition and walked away from law enforcement at a young age, 46 years old, I love sharing the journey with all of you in my writing, speaking and podcasting. My first book, "Extraordinary People in Ordinary Places" was published in late 2019 and is available at Amazon.com.
If you are looking for an inspiring, positive speaker, writer and trainer with years of real world and applicable experience, I would love to hear from you to discuss how we can work together.
You can view my work, programs and testimonials on my website www.teamhardy.net
Topics we discuss:
· “Coaching Cops to Believe in Themselves.”
· “Cops can’t have all skills and no heart.”
· “Cops should be their brother’s keeper.”
· “Cops don’t need MORE training; they need BETTER training.”
· “Law Enforcement needs Courageous people.”
· “Law Enforcement supervisors MUST know their people.”
· “CompStat served a purpose, but is it the best?”
· “We have to change the law enforcement profession within ourselves first.”
· How to live on purpose.

This Law Enforcement Podcast was designed to help you overcome the mental toll of the law enforcement career and the negative effects it can have on your personal life.
Hosted by active-duty law enforcement, we bring you two weekly podcasts. On Thursday, in The Interview Room we sit down with amazing guests who provide actionable advice on leadership, mental health, and relationships from their lived experiences. On Monday, in Morning Roll Call, you and I enjoy a cup of coffee and discuss current events, offer encouragement, and discuss practical steps for achieving the life we were meant to live.

NEWS THAT MATTERS TO YOU:
- STORY ONE: Several Illinois Sheriff’s Departments Refuse to Enforce New State Law Banning Dozens of Firearms.
- STORY TWO: New York Rep. – elect George Santos confesses to lies about his resume: report.
- STORY THREE: ‘Building A Culture of Integrity’
ONE IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAY:
-
The idea of “Integrity” is rooted in the idea that you actually “do what you say you are going to do.”
-
Agencies should be very careful that if they have Mission Statements, Code of Ethics, or Core Values that the people within the agency, especially those in leadership, live by them.
-
The key word for this podcast and for me, this year, is “ACTION.” You will hear this as a fundamental part of what we discuss every week, what are the areas where we must stand up and take action?

**In this episode**, I sit down with Michael Sugrue:
Michael Sugrue began his law enforcement career in the United States Air Force as a Security Forces Officer in 1998. As a Security Forces Officer, Michael specialized in Law Enforcement, Global Force Protection, Anti-Terrorism, Nuclear Security, Foreign Airfield Assessments and Air Base Ground Defense.
Michael served in a variety of assignments including: Flight Leader, Flight Commander, Senior Watch Officer, Chief of Command Post and Chief of Security Forces.
Michael served all over the United States, Europe, the Middle East and South America. He was also a Security Forces Phoenix Raven with the unique identifier of #1173. Michael honorably separated from the Air Force as a Captain in 2004.
Immediately after the Air Force, Michael was hired by the Walnut Creek Police Department where he served in a variety of assignments including: Patrol Officer, Driver Training Instructor (EVOC) Field Training Officer (FTO), SIU Detective, Undercover CA DOJ Narcotic Task Force Agent (Contra Costa County), Public Information Officer (PIO) and Patrol Sergeant.
Michael was awarded the Walnut Creek PD Distinguished Service Medal in 2014 for his heroic and life saving actions during a Fatal Officer Involved Shooting in 2012.
Michael ultimately medically retired in 2018. He is now a Peer Volunteer at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat (WCPR) and an Ambassador for Save A Warrior (SAW).
Michael is a dedicated advocate for awareness, prevention, education, training on Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) and First Responder Suicide Prevention. Michael continues to speak at law enforcement agencies all over the United States.
In his BEST-SELLING book, RELENTLESS COURAGE: Winning the Battle Against Frontline Trauma, along with Dr. Shauna Springer, PhD, they tackle the complexity of trauma within the law enforcement community, uncovering the unspoken barriers, and outline a path to healing.
RELENTLESS COURAGE released in Spring 2022 and has been described by Lt. Col. David Grossman, best-selling author of On Killing and On Combat as “one of the most important books of our time” and “the natural successor to On Combat.”

See this Episodes complete SHOW NOTES at https://www.ontheblueline.com/podcast-show-notes
FOLLOW: INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDin | YOUTUBE
In this episode, I sit down with Darren Hill:
Darren Hill has a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and a Master’s Degree in Game Design and Production. He started his law enforcement journey in central Florida where he worked as a Patrol Deputy on the night shift. He was quickly promoted to being a Field Training Officer where he was responsible for making sure new recruits from the academy understood how to do their job safely and within the confines of the law and especially the constitution.
Hill was later promoted to being a Detective in the Economic Crimes Unit where he investigated cases ranging from bad checks for a few hundred dollars to multi-million dollar scams. With his computer and economic specialization, he was sent to work with the Department of Homeland Security office in Tampa to help them with dark web investigations. Due to injuries sustained in the line of duty, he ended his law enforcement career to move to Douglas County, Colorado where he continues to manage his small business.
During his time with the Sheriff’s Office, Hill declined invitations to test for promotions since he always wanted to be where he could help his fellow citizens, so a position of Sergeant or higher did not appeal to him. He did not have aspirations of running for Sheriff, but with unconstitutional laws being supported by other candidates, Hill joined the race to be where he can help his fellow citizens.

The Law of Unintended Consequences with Jon Becker | THE INTERVIEW ROOM | Episode 038
See this Episodes complete SHOW NOTES at https://www.ontheblueline.com/podcast-show-notes
FOLLOW: INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | LINKEDin | YOUTUBE
In this episode, I sit down with Jon Becker:
Jon Becker has spent the past four decades dedicating himself to protecting tactical operators. He is the founder and CEO of Aardvark Tactical, a leading provider of tactical equipment and custom solutions, and founder of the armor manufacturer PROJECT7, which provides purpose-built, scalable, and integrated tactical armor built to suit their operators’ unique mission needs.
After founding AARDVARK at just seventeen, It wasn’t long before AARDVARK’s customers began asking Becker to sell them tactical gear in addition to the climbing gear that AARDVARK originally specialized in. During this time, Becker spent thousands of hours training with the teams he was serving while also attending Loyola Law School. Once he became an attorney, his interest in civil rights and police litigation merged and developed into him writing for many of the top tactical publications on a variety of topics. As AARDVARK grew, it became involved in military system integration and eventually specially manufactured gear designed to enhance operator safety – and that has remained the company’s priority ever since. Along the way, Becker has had the privilege of working with some of the world’s top law enforcement and military units, including the amazing leaders who guide their teams through some of the most dangerous situations and encounters imaginable. Through The Debrief, Becker is able to share their incredible stories of leadership with the world.
Becker resides in Los Angeles, California, with his children and wife of thirty-two years. When he isn’t running the show at AARDVARK, Becker is running ironman triathlons, racing sports cars, speaking for tactical organizations across the country, and sharing in-depth conversations with the industry on The Debrief.
