It's not normal, dude.

And I always tell people this.

How can you go ahead and see dead bodies?

And how can you go ahead and experience everything that you have?

And I tell people this.

A lot of cops, I would say a good 90% of them, they cope with PTSD

in their own way, whether it's drinking, whether it's having an addiction to what makes them feel good.

And when I say addiction, it doesn't necessarily have to be alcohol or drugs, but it could just be anything else that they find as an outlet, right?

So at the end of the day, what I tell people, it's just like, it's not an easy job, but it's also a hard job and you have to have the mentality.

You have to want to actually do it, right?

Because when I first got into it, bro, I remember I was like 25, 26, and I was just like, dude,

They pay cops six figures.

And this is back in 2012, 2013 in California, dude.

And at that time, inflation wasn't through the roof.

No, exactly.

You make six figures, you stand up proud of your chest.

Well, especially in California, dude, which is sad when you think about it.

Dude, in Cali, it's insane.

I had built a pretty decent sized personal brand now online.

And because of that reason, you know, I always market my experiences, what I've done in life.
