    EP 042 Phil Schrock: "When Faith and War Collide"

    What happens when the war follows you home and never lets go?In this episode, I sit down with a former Marine infantryman and sniper team leader who deployed three times to Iraq and Afghanistan. From early days in the Marines to being selected for a sniper platoon and eventually leading his own team, he lived in a world where pressure, precision, and life-or-death decisions were part of everyday reality.But behind the missions and deployments, there were moments that would change everything.On his first deployment, a night patrol turned tragic when the vehicle he was driving went off a bridge killing a Corpsman and injuring fellow Marines. It was a moment that stayed with him, even as he continued on to become a sniper and later a team leader in Afghanistan, where daily combat engagements and constant danger became the norm.That’s where another battle began.As a sniper team leader, he found himself facing an internal conflict between his duty and his faith something that ultimately led him to step down from his role and seek help. What followed was a long and difficult fight with PTSD one that cost him a marriage, nearly took another, and impacted every part of his life.For years, he refused help. He tried to handle it on his own.Until something finally changed.This is a raw, honest conversation about combat, trauma, faith, and what it really takes to rebuild your life when everything starts to fall apart.Please visit our website to get more information: ChangeCatalystPodcast.comSocial Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changecatalyst_podcast✅About The Change Catalyst Podcast:This podcast ain’t for the weak or the fake.

    EP 040 Kenny Williams: Inside Drug Interdiction

    What drives someone to specialize in drug interdiction—and why does it matter?In this episode, I sit down with Kenny Williams, police officer, law enforcement instructor, host of the Beyond the barrel Podcast, and owner of The Justice Academy. We talk about how he developed his passion for interdiction work, what drew him into that space, and why he’s committed to training other officers across the country.Kenny shares the mindset behind effective policing, what separates well-trained officers from the rest, and why passing that knowledge on has become a mission for him. We also dive into his podcast, the impact he’s trying to make through his training company, and the bigger picture of law enforcement today.This isn’t just a one-way interview either.Kenny flips the script and asks me about my own story—including the shooting, the aftermath, and the mental health side that doesn’t get talked about enough. It turns into a real, honest conversation about trauma, resilience, and what it takes to keep moving forward.Please visit our website to get more information: ChangeCatalystPodcast.comSocial Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changecatalyst_podcast✅About The Change Catalyst Podcast:This podcast ain’t for the weak or the fake.

    18 May

    EP 036 Keith Shibley: Alcohol, Opiates, and The Badge "A Cops Story"

    Keith Shibley has spent over two decades in law enforcement—working patrol, investigations, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, and responding to major critical incidents including the Washington Navy Yard shooting and a 2025 mid-air collision over the Potomac River. But this episode isn’t just about the job. It’s about what the job does to you. After the Navy Yard shooting, Keith was injured—and like many in law enforcement, he carried the weight of that experience long after the scene was cleared. What followed was a battle with alcohol and opiate use, a struggle that too many officers face but few are willing to talk about. In this conversation, we go beyond the badge and into the reality of trauma, coping, and the road back. Sponsored by: @theatreprotectives TheatreProtectives.com

    11 May

    EP 035 Matt Jones: "Shots Fired"

    In this episode, TJ Webb sits down with Matt “Jonesy” Jones, a retired Deputy Sheriff who faced the kind of moment every cop knows is possible—but hopes never comes. Matt shares the story of the day a routine patrol turned into a shooting, forcing him to make a split-second decision to protect his own life. He talks about what that moment was really like, what goes through your mind when there’s no time to think, and how everything changes after the trigger is pulled. But the shooting was only part of the story. Matt also opens up about the personal losses he’s carried throughout his life and career—the loss of his mother, his K9 partner, and a fellow deputy and close friend killed in another shooting. This conversation goes beyond the incident, diving into grief, brotherhood, and the weight that doesn’t go away when the call is over. This episode is about reality—what the job demands, what it takes, and what it leaves behind.
