Some jobs change the way you see people.Eric Robinson spent 24 years as an FBI special agent, including 15 years in SWAT. Before joining the FBI, he spent years in Christian ministry - which gives this conversation a very different depth from the usual law enforcement interview.In this episode, we explore what high-risk work does to a person, what elite teams can teach us about accountability and trust, and what years around criminals, informants, and interrogations reveal about human nature. Eric also reflects on humour as a coping tool, how his faith changed over time, and the challenge of identity after a career built around service, danger, and purpose.Key takeaways→ What 24 years in the FBI and 15 years in SWAT does to a person→ Why accountability matters so much in high-pressure teams→ What interrogations and informants teach you about people→ How humour helps people cope in dark environments→ How faith can be shaped by years around danger and deception→ Why identity can become difficult when a long career comes to an endLinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_eric_robinson/Website: https://preachertobreacher.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-robinson-9220053a4/
