Descripción

Welcome to Outside the Line - the podcast for cops who are learning to stay anchored to the real world. This week I'm joined by Billy Bowering - a navy veteran, former law enforcement, DJ on the Thin Line Rock Station, and founder, CEO and chaplain of his non-profit organization Day 1 Week 1. Billy talks about growing up on a dairy farm in Upstate New York, his career in the US Navy, why he ended up in a dark place after being fired for political reasons while doing his job, and how that led him to become a chaplain and start an organization helping other cops who are struggling with their mental health.

Episode 20 - Bridging Bars and Badges with Rico and BriAnn Lopez

Welcome to Outside the Line - the podcast for cops who are learning to stay anchored to the real world. This week I'm joined by husband and wife team Rico Lopez and BriAnn Shipley, the voices on the Thin Line Rock Station and 8158 podcasts, among others. Together they share how they built a platform rooted in helping first responders while also advocating for something people tend to overlook - second chances. Rico opens up about his journey as a former inmate and his passion for mentoring incarcerated individuals in life skills to help prevent recidivism. His perspective is rare and deeply needed - he believes support doesn't have to choose sides.  We talk about mental health, redemption, resilience, and what it means to be a bridge between first responders and those working to rebuild their lives. This conversation challenges the "us versus them" mentality and reminds us that healing, accountability, and support can coexist - on both sides of the line.

Episode 19 - The Rock Star of Mental Health with Mark DiBona

Welcome to Outside the Line - the podcast for cops who are learning to stay anchored to the real world. Trigger warning: sexual abuse, suicide (attempt). This week I'm joined by Mark DiBona aka "The Rockstar of Mental Health." Mark started as a cop in Boston and retired as a Sgt in Seminole County, Florida. Mark gets vulnerable about childhood trauma, why he's known as "The Rock Star of Mental Health", and how his passion for helping cops led him to start a non-profit foundation, Protecting the Guardian.
