They discussed the emotional and physical challenges faced by those in law enforcement, as well as the personal growth and reflections that come with the job.

Both Steve and Anthony shared their experiences of injuries and the impact they had on their careers. However, despite the downsides, the good aspects of the job have outweighed the bad. Anthony shared how luck brought him into law enforcement, allowing him to better his family's future.

Another topic of discussion was the debate around martial arts and jujitsu, and their role in developing discipline, leadership, and following.
