Retirement Unplugged: Teaching, Volunteering, and Finding Joy

What’s Your Emergency

Ever wondered what life might look like after a career filled with sirens and service? Join us for a hilarious and heartfelt journey as we explore retirement plans that range from the absurd—like using a Square reader for collecting bribes in Mexico—to the universally charming world of dogs. Our conversation about the phrase "dog ugly" turns into a loving tribute to our furry friends, complete with laugh-out-loud personal stories. We also dive into a jaw-dropping article about corrupt Mexican police leveraging technology for bribes, proving that crime can be weirdly entrepreneurial.
Transitioning from chasing bad guys to retirement bliss isn't always easy. But don't worry; we've got you covered with practical advice and engaging anecdotes on making that shift smoother. Whether it's about the therapeutic benefits of not working or the unexpected joy of volunteering and teaching, we share valuable insights based on our own experiences. If you've ever considered teaching criminal justice post-retirement, we discuss the ups and downs, from staying industry current to dealing with family responsibilities and insurance.
But wait, there's more! From the rewarding journey of moving from an instructor to an administrative role within emergency medical services, to the quirky confusion of mixing up book and TV show plots, we cover it all. Hear about the challenges of engaging students without modern tech, the joys of curriculum design, and the satisfaction of policy-making. Finally, we wrap things up with some Sherlock Holmes banter and tales of recent adventures, making this episode a blend of humor, wisdom, and light-hearted fun. Don’t miss out on this enriching episode packed with stories, laughs, and practical tips for life after a public safety career!
