Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. After a brief sabbatical, I’m back and thrilled to welcome back bestselling author George Prior.

Long-time listeners will also know my response: Absolutely, I would. So, here he is. I hope you enjoy our convers

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. As many of you know, I’m on the Peer Support Team for my agency, and from time to time, we have amazing people who come speak to our group.

After you listen, tell me what you think of Meghann? She’s incredible, right? Among the many things that truly impresses me

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. Recently, I was at an officer wellness conference in New Orleans, as I mentioned in a previous episode. Another amazing speaker was Chief Melinda Linas, from the Lindenhurst (IL) Police Department. I could tell you about what she talked about, but instead, let’s jump right into my chat with this amazing person. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you've listened, let me know what you think about Chief Linas. I know that I sound like a broken r
