Transitioning from a high-stakes career in law enforcement or the military to civilian life is a battle that rarely makes the highlight reels. In this episode of The Watch & The War, we sit down with Bryan Bishop to discuss the "down and dirty" reality of life after the badge. Bryan shares his journey from joining the sheriff's office in 2001 to spending 14 years on a high-tempo U.S. Marshals task force. While he loved the adrenaline of the K9 unit and the bond of his team, he unknowingly made his career his entire identity. When he finally retired in 2022 to pursue his dream of opening a "Guntry Club," the silence of civilian life allowed a "monster" of suppressed struggles to rear its head. This conversation goes beyond the typical war stories to address the primary pain points for many veterans and first responders: the loss of identity, the craving for chaos, and the difficulty of relating to family after years of living in a state of high vigilance. Brian recounts the humbling moment he realized he needed help—and the frustration of being told he "didn't qualify" for a program because he wasn't struggling with substance abuse. Whether you are currently serving, recently retired, or a family member supporting a first responder, this episode offers a roadmap for finding light in the darkness. Brian explains why admitting you aren't okay is the first step toward retraining your brain for survival in a world that no longer requires violence. If Bryan’s story resonated with you, please subscribe to The Watch & The War and share this episode with a fellow first responder who might be struggling in silence.
