Episode Synopsis
This episode gets real with Mr. Mike Mellides of @CoachUniteUs , as we caught up over one year later since our last episode together. For episode one, Mike filled us in on his rollercoaster of a journey through the law enforcement profession.
For this episode, Mike talks about the present and lessons learned after sacrificing so much for his police career. This included his health, time, and safety among other things. Despite that, he was simply pushed aside when he it was convenient for his administration.
Mike opens up about hitting rock bottom, the darkness that nearly took him, and the fire that brought him back. Now with a clearer purpose than ever, he’s using his pain to continue serving others through his charity, coaching, and entrepreneurship.
His story is raw, real, and a reminder that even when we feel broken, we can still rise and lead. You don’t need rank to be a leader. That comes from heart, and you either have it or you don’t.
