Episode 5:
The OATH(s), Sir Robert Peele & The secret squirrel we interview.
This week is pack full of GOOD info, Knowledge via Sir Robert Peel, undiagnosed ADHD, big ass beer mugs and a call from a buddy we shall call: "GRU".
You know the OATH.. Don't act like you don't.. Some of ya'll have given it in the Military, some in Law Enforcement. Regardless of WHERE it was given- you raised your hand and promised... Sometimes in front of hundreds of people. Have you forgotten?
We also have a buddy of ours, who we shall call "GRU" (yea maybe there is an evil genius reference to the kids movie Minions there).
It's funny, the only time we have actually used the Censorship button was in this episode to hide "Gru's" identity.
Pete acknowledges his f-up.
Gru talks to us what he is seeing from the outside looking in. He is not Military. Not law enforcement - but let's just say he has a very good eyes "looking" in.
Gru is the true patriot that always tells it like it is.
ANYWAY- ENJOY!
Special thanks to Havok Journal https://havokjournal.com/ and BIG ASS BEER MUGS.
The Uber driver wouldn't drive Ayman home he was THAT obliterated.

Police reform + internal issues + Horse Soldier Bourbon= an episode you don't want to miss.
Heres what happened step by step (timeline) :
Pete and Ayman decide to record E4.
Ayman: "i have THIS " (Produces a bottle of Horse Solider Bourbon).
Pete: "Ummm, YES, ill get the ice."
Ayman: "lets talk about police reform, shitbags and bourbon."
Pete: "F-it. YES"
An hour later an episode was formed.
There is some cringing involved - this is beyond our control.
Special props to Havok Journal and Horse Soldier Bourbon (we aren't profiting or endorsed from either - we just love these guys).

20 minute Midweek Roll call Episode 2:
Our Demons. Our Angels. Our Salutes. This midweek episode focuses on the LIGHT, when darkness consumes us.
Without demons, there are no ANGELS - thats the truth. But good triumphs, ALWAYS.
If we have the will to survive, and the will to preserve life- anything is possible.
We highlight a story from Rocky Mountain PBS about an amazing Pueblo Officer and Army veteran who did an incredible job talking down a fellow veteran from a "worst case scenario". You can really picture this scene in your head.
Project Sapient is committed to highlighting work done in God's grace - coupled with the right training and right people.
Sapient's resources will be available on our website soon.
Good job corporal - if anyone knows him please get us some contact info.

This week we bring ARMY SF WARRIOR Bobby Scali on to the show to discuss equipment in policing. Bobby is actually credited with savings lives! (And just being an awesome person and human being - Truly Sapient).
We get in depth with Bobby about what he's been seeing all over the world as he travels to promote his life saving tool: Vector Shields.
I swear, no turtlenecks were worn during the recording of this episode - even though it may sound like it at first. Peter definitely was sipping on some macha tea at first while his life was threatened by Ayman. Ayman also got a few "quick reps" in, so we apologize for the heavy breathing.
If anyone has seen Pete let us know.

Because of the amazing feedback we have decided to listen to requests of "more" so we will be doing our regular weekly episode along with a midweek episode called "midweek roll call". These episodes will be shorter and will focus on highlighting the GOOD in policing.
You will hear the "atta-boy's" along with key concepts.
This weeks midweek episode revolved around "What is your 'WHY?' "
Some of the things you hear could be deemed as personal. Pete got a little angry but Ayman calmed him down real quick. Pacifiers may have been used.
Listener discretion is advised.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson. This episode continues exploring the problems we face in Policing and the military, coupled with the warrior mindset and the ethos derived from getting punched in the face, in life. From how we are conditioned as children, to making a fist. Many of us have received "the slap", some more than others- some none at all...and this is problem.
Does the mind carry the body?
There may or may not have been an all out brawl on the air. Everyone has since recovered post recording.

This episode is an intro of Project Sapient (Ayman and Peter G) and a discussion about the "Warrior Mindset" in the law enforcement and military community. Is it taboo? Is it lacking? Does it need to go away from here? Should we defund the police? What can we do from here?
Our goal is to always open a discussion, bring opinion, facts, experts and solutions to the ever changing world we live in - within the law enforcement and military community.
We hope you will enjoy. Give us a follow!
*no feelings were hurt during production of this podcast. Maybe Ayman's but he will survive.
