We're Good With Cop Stuff - John Kelly - EP 86

The Off Duty Podcast - Law Enforcement

John Kelly spent 30 years working for the Broward County Sheriff. There he worked: Patrol, Investigations, K-9, Training, and the Motorcycle Unit.

John was a great interview! After he shared he was from Boston, I could clearly hear the Boston accent.

John was very open, sharing his low points in life and how he over coming them. Although we get a little serious during the interview, we also had a lot of laughs and John shares some great advise on life.

SHOW SEGMENTS

[01:42] Lead Off Question – “Why Law Enforcement?” John says that he wanted to help people. He wanted to protect people. So for him, he had two choices and he chose law enforcement

[26:11] Dig Deeper – This is the part of the podcast were I dig into the guest's social media and I craft questions around 3-5 of those posts.

Here is one of the Instagram post that I asked John about:

IG POST - Selfie you took - older post:

“So this is what happens when a 53 year old makes an attempt to use social media without someone providing assistance . I’ll be removing this account . Please follow me at lawenforcementlifecoach thanks for your patience”

• Other than social media and your mental health, what is one thing you require help with?
• What do you have zero patience for?
• Do you think the world would be better off without social media?

[39:35] Random Seven – These are seven, totally random questions that I asked John. And they're all electronically created.

• What horror movie really freaked you out as a kid?
• Would you rather be sitting on a plane next to a screaming baby or someone with bad body odor?
• Who in your life do you always make time for?
• What apps on your phone are you on the most?
• Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life?
• What do you fear the most?
• Would you feel worse if no one showed up to your wedding or to your funeral?

[48:26] Flip the Script – This is where the guest, gets to ask you the listener a question. And Jason's question is:

"What's the thing that's keeping you from making yourself a priority?"

Answer here

[49:36] This or That - This is my rapid fire round, where I give the guest two choices and they have to chose one without giving too much thought.
