EP 72 Life After Law Enforcement

In this episode I chat with John Jay Wiley, a retired Baltimore police sergeant who reinvented himself as a nationally syndicated broadcaster. John Jay is the creator and host of Law Enforcement Talk Radio, which is carried on more than 147 AM and FM stations across the country.John Jay shares his transformative journey — from overcoming personal struggles to finding his voice as a storyteller and advocate for first responders, veterans, and their families. With honesty and humor, he opens up about building confidence later in life, the lessons he learned from “crashing and burning,” and why mental health matters just as much as physical health.In our conversation, we cover:His path from law enforcement to broadcasting.How sobriety reshaped his life and career.Why he launched Law Enforcement Talk Radio and how it challenges biased media narratives.The routines and practices that support his mental health and resilience.Why he sees age and experience as assets, not limitations.His advice for thriving after 65 and embracing purpose at any age.This conversation left me inspired, and I know it will encourage you, too, to see life’s second (or third!) acts as powerful opportunities to grow, serve, and shine.Listen to Law Enforcement Talk Radio and follow John Jay on LinkedIn.If you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.

It's quiet, easy to store, and makes getting more steps simple and enjoyable.🥤 Favorite Protein Powder – Getting enough protein becomes even more important as we age.
