I learned something a long time ago, and it's from the preacher named td jakes. And you know we've gone separate ways and come back at some point too. And all these, you know, things are happening, and what I've learned, though, is one of the best things that I can do to help the next person coming in the door is really just to sit and either sit, listen, sometimes even that's not enough.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from law enforcement to becoming a beacon of hope in the recovery community? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell chats with Joshua De La Rosa, a former Boston police officer whose journey has taken him from patrolling the streets to advocating for those battling addiction.

He shares how tough love and genuine listening can make all the difference in someone's path to sobriety.
