This is an example of a great podcast topic emerging unexpectedly from an interview on a different topic. Today you'll hear Part One of my conversation with Ward Jenkins. Ward was a police officer in Los Angeles in the 1980's and 90's. He worked in the 77th Street Division of the LAPD and was right in the middle of the 1992 LA Riots. Don't miss what Ward says about taking initiative, having suppressed memories, leadership failures, and more.
