Episode 850: Stop Feeding The Negative with Jon Becker Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

On this episode, Dennis speaks with Founder of AARDVARK Tactical and host of The Debrief Podcast, Jon Becker. Jon Becker is an expert in tactical equipment with over four decades of experience working with some of the world’s top law enforcement and military units. After founding AARDVARK at just seventeen years old, Jon built the company into one of the largest providers of tactical equipment in the world while also becoming an attorney with a focus on civil rights and police litigation. These two areas of expertise converged in his articles, his teaching, and his study of tactical leadership.

After working alongside law enforcement and military leaders for decades, Becker has cultivated a deep understanding of the self-discipline, sacrifice, and motivation required to lead an elite team – and it’s clear that his guests do, too. With an impressive lineup of individuals who have spent their careers putting their lives on the line, The Debrief is a podcast about tactical units and their commanders, but for anyone interested in leading like the elite.

Today, Dennis and Jon discuss the media and how officers are portrayed in a negative light and how one bad cop can cause a general negative stigma for all police officers.

Episode 846: Cooking With Passion with Alexandra Donnadio Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Dennis sits down with Detective and Professional Chef, Alexandra Donnadio.

Alexandra Donnadio grew up my four younger brothers that could not pronounce her name, hence the nickname "Zandge". She is currently a Detective in the Ballistics unit, and a self-taught Chef.

Growing up Alexandra wanted a job that involved truly being able to help people, and going into law enforcement was how she believed she could do that. Zandge always loved to cook, but it wasn't until recently that she started to take it more seriously and post content on social media. She realized that cooking isn't just about the food: it's about how happy cooking for others makes her feel, but at the same time if she needs a day to herself she can experiment with a new recipe, and shut the rest of the world out. Her mission is to continue to share her passion of food with the world. Alexandra continues to show that it is okay to have a passion outside of law enforcement.

Today, Dennis and Alexandra discuss how she found her passion for cooking, the behind the scenes of her social media pages, how to grow a business and why its important to find a passion outside of law enforcement.
