What happens when a brilliant mind questions its own foundation?

In this episode, J.T. sits down with David Grover—a data architect and "defrocked" philosopher with a deep love of logic, language, and self-examination—for a raw and thoughtful conversation exploring the sometimes ironic paths our lives can take.

David shares his experience navigating the medical and mental health landscape while wrestling with the existential questions that once unraveled his academic career—and later became the backbone of his professional success.

This week, I’m sharing a conversation with Rob Cochran—a retired police officer, security guard, and someone whose career has been defined by service, duty, and the power of relationships.

In this episode, we talk about what drew him to law enforcement, the realities of police work beyond media portrayals, and the philosophy that shaped his approach to service. Rob shares how trust and relationships are essential to effective policing—why he always kept his window down on patrol, how community engagement changes outcomes, and the lessons he carried into his post-police life.

It’s a conversation about integrity, perspective, and the human side of a career in service.

I’d love to hear what stood out to you—drop a comment or send a message.

As always, I hope you’re walking away with one less stranger in your life.
