In today's episode I speak with Michael R Herst who, once upon a time, was a well respected Police Sergent (something he had been working towards and dreaming of since he was a young kid!) until one evening, on an early morning call, something terrible happens leaving him physicaly disabled and no longer able to fulfill his work in policing. So what do you do, when the dream job and life you had always wanted gets taken away from you in a split second? How do you heal and find a new purpose again? Michaels journey includes depression, anger, PTSD, fortitude, strength, love and commitment. Through weight loss, intense pain, 8 operations, physical therapy, support from family and friends, Michael reinvented his purpose. This is his story of how.
Today, Michael is a multi-talented host, keynote speaker, author, director, and retired Police Sergeant. His M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Performance and DigitalMedia and his B.S. in Business Management gives him a unique approach to every project he takes on. He loves exploring the metaphysical, paranormal and supernatural aspect of life. He is a devoted family man, an animal advocate and vegan. A veteran podcaster, specializing in Pop-Culture, Podcasting and overcoming life’s obstacles called One More Thing Before You Go..
