My very special guest today is known as the financial cop, Nick Daugherty. He has got some great information that pertains to financial wealth and wellness that ties into your mental health. He's gonna teach you how to set up a basic budget and how to pay off those bills and get outta debt. So you have that financial freedom now, and when you retire, this is a great episode. It ties into that mental health aspect because there's so much pressure with our finances. And as first responders working on this overtime, he's got some thoughts and theories on that.

Nick Daugherty began his career with the Grand Prairie Police Department (GPPD) in 2003 serving as a patrol officer, school Resource Officer, and underage alcohol and drug task force officer.  In 2012 he promoted to the rank of Sergeant where he served as a patrol Sergeant, field training supervisor, fleet coordinator, and the criminal intelligence unit sergeant.

He also works with several national first responder nonprofit organizations, focusing on financial wellness for those suffering from PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
