Yesterday I discovered that a round-robin presentation is basically law enforcement’s version of: “Great presentation. Now reset and do it again.” 😂

I had the honor of presenting Financial Readiness during our National Academy Student Expertise Showcase. There are 250+ law enforcement leaders from around the world in our session, and groups rotated through the presentation throughout the showcase.

The conversation was simple. No products. No sales pitch. Just: Where are our employees struggling financially? Where are WE struggling? How can leaders help? How do we get more comfortable talking about money? And how does financial stress affect mental health, relationships, sleep, physical health, and the other pillars of wellness?

One student wrote: “Financial wellness coaching was phenomenal. Well needed.”

Another identified the financial discussion as the most valuable part because it was something we don’t normally cover.

When I started teaching this stuff years ago, I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to discuss it here, with leaders from across the U.S. and around the world.

Pretty cool day. And after several rounds, I can now confirm: I can give this presentation in my sleep.

Labor Day is about recognizing the people who show up and do the work. For first responders, we know that work doesn’t stop just because the calendar says “holiday.”

I’ve got a busy fall ahead teaching financial wellness across Chicagoland—from fire and police in-service training to full-day workshops and the IPPFA MidAmerican Pension Conference.

The mission stays the same: practical money conversations that help first responders build better habits, create more margin, and take some financial stress off the table.

Where will I see you this fall? More importantly—where should I go next? Tag a department, training unit, or public safety organization that needs this conversation.

Same emergency. Different reaction.

One thing I've noticed while at the FBI National Academy is that life back home doesn't stop just because we're here.

I've heard classmates talk about A/C systems going out, unexpected car repairs, and other expenses hitting while they're hundreds or thousands of miles from home.

But what caught my attention wasn't the emergency.

It was how differently people reacted to it.

Some had money set aside.
Some started moving money around.
Some were looking at financing options.
And for others, you could hear the financial stress immediately.

Same kind of problem. Completely different financial experience.

Financial preparation doesn't stop emergencies. It changes what happens next.

I shared some thoughts about that in this week's TPC Financial Coaching email.

Week 7 at the FBI National Academy is in the books — and this week’s classroom had a little more elevation.

We stepped into the discomfort zone and tackled the Virginia Triple Crown: McAfee K**b, Dragon’s Tooth, and Tinker Cliffs.

Day 1 was about 15 miles. Day 2 added another strong 5 miles with plenty of elevation. I’m not sure I’ve ever sweat that much in my life. My legs were tired. My feet hurt. And somewhere along the trail, I’m pretty sure they both started questioning my decision-making skills. 😂

But that’s part of doing hard things. You get uncomfortable. You get tired. You keep moving anyway.

Great challenge, even better people to experience it with, and one more memory from this journey that I won’t forget anytime soon.

Virginia Triple Crown: completed.
Feet: still under investigation.

Kids are basically tiny, adorable financial emergencies.

Braces. Sports. Broken phones. School trips. And somehow, shoes that fit last week don’t fit today.

You can’t predict every expense, but you can build some margin so every surprise doesn’t become a crisis.

Start small. Build the emergency fund. Keep going.

If your household had a $1,500 bad month tomorrow, what would happen?

Car repair. Vet bill. Kids' activities. Something breaks around the house. Maybe the overtime you were counting on isn't there.

None of those things alone are necessarily a financial emergency.

But when a few hit at the same time, an ordinary bad month can turn into months of financial stress.

That's the focus of my newest blog:

Your Financial Plan Should Survive a Bad Month.

We're talking about financial margin, emergency savings, sinking funds, the first responder overtime trap, and why some money really does have an important job just sitting there.

The goal isn't to eliminate bad months.

It's to build a financial life that can handle one.

Week 6 of the FBI National Academy is officially in the books—and what a week.

This week included several classroom presentations. Some were right in my wheelhouse, while others pushed me outside my comfort zone. That’s exactly where growth happens. I also learned a ton just sitting back and watching my new brothers and sisters teach. There is an incredible amount of experience in these classrooms, and everyone has something to bring to the table.

Thursday, I traded student duties for social director duties and helped kick off the weekend with a Section B mixer—great food, plenty of laughs, and a friendly bags tournament.

Then we hit the road for Philly!

We caught a Phillies game (with the required ballpark cheesesteak), had an incredible private historical tour that included the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and Elfreth’s Alley, and of course… we RAN the Rocky steps. We wrapped things up with an on-field tour of Lincoln Financial Field.

For the record: I am NOT jumping ship from my Chicago Bears. 🐻⬇️

But I’ll give Philly this one…

Fly Eagles Fly! 🦅

Another week of learning, getting uncomfortable, building relationships, and making memories with some great people.

Overtime is part of the first responder world. Sometimes it helps us get ahead. Sometimes it quietly becomes the only way we stay caught up.

That’s an important difference.

Before working more hours, know what those hours are supposed to accomplish. Savings? An upcoming expense? Paying down debt? A family goal?

The goal isn’t “never work overtime.” It’s making sure overtime is a tool instead of something your lifestyle depends on.

Sometimes wellness looks a little different.

Over the last couple of weeks at the FBI National Academy, a group of my classmates and I took advantage of a recommendation connected to our wellness course and headed to Black Horse Forge.

This place is dedicated to military members and first responders, and we got the full experience. We sweat our butts off, worked with tools most of us had never touched before, made our own knives and other steel pieces, and probably surprised ourselves with what we could actually build.

But the best part wasn’t what came out of the forge. It was the conversations, stories, laughs, and time spent together.

Black Horse Forge has even been showcased by Mike Rowe, and they proudly share that more than 22,000 military members and first responders have walked through their doors without losing one of those participants to su***de.

That’s a mission worth supporting. I was happy to donate, learn some new skills, and make some lasting memories with a great group of people.

Apparently, “I’ll just work more overtime” has been elevated to a matter of national security. 😂 (Yes this is a real photo of me at the podium)

Seriously though—OT can be a great financial tool. The problem starts when your regular lifestyle requires overtime just to make the numbers work.

The goal isn’t to stop working OT. It’s to build enough margin that you get to decide what that OT money does instead of already having it spent before you work the shift.

Build margin. Reduce stress. Be ready.
