When you chose to be a cop, you did it to have pride in what you do, and to become the best you could be.  A good cop works hard to dedicate him or herself to putting in the work, no matter how hard, to be there when times get tough.  To never give up.  To be a hero.  Sadly, so many of us cops give our very best at work, but when we get home, we drop the ball.  Our family is left to gather the few crumbs we leave behind because we have put so much of ourselves into our careers, that there just isn’t anything left for the things that truly matter.  

At hero nation, our goal is to change that mentality so that we can win at work, at home and in life.  In this episode of Win the Daily War, Gerritt talks about the FNG mentality.  If you don’t know what that means, you will learn why it’s so important to master it, not only at work, but at home too.  Check out the highlights here:
