Show Notes

In a recent episode of our podcast, we were honored to have Major General (Ret.) Gregg Martin share his deeply personal and inspiring journey through bipolar disorder. His story is not just about the battles fought on the field but also about confronting the internal battles of mental illness. This conversation is especially relevant to law enforcement officers and leaders, drawing parallels to the high-stress, high-stakes environments they navigate, which often mirror the pressures faced in military careers.
