The Barry Spaulding Interview.

After serving his country as a U.S. Army veteran and spending more than three decades in federal law enforcement, BJ Spaulding is finally living the dream he first imagined as a teenager—becoming a published author. In this thoughtful conversation, BJ discusses the inspiration behind his science fiction military adventure Dark Star, how decades of military service and law enforcement shaped his storytelling, and why it’s never too late to pursue the passion that’s been quietly waiting inside you. More than a discussion about science fiction, this episode explores perseverance, reinvention, leadership, imagination, and the courage to begin a new chapter at any stage of life. Whether you’re an aspiring writer, a lifelong reader, or someone wondering if your biggest dream has passed you by, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that purpose has no expiration date. https://a.co/d/0eVxi33L Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.
