In this episode, Rich sat down with Jorge Gomez for a thoughtful and honest conversation about service, leadership, and what truly matters when the uniform comes off. Jorge’s journey spans more than two decades of service, beginning with the United States Coast Guard, including both active duty and reserve time, and continuing into a law enforcement career that has included patrol, detective work, homicide investigations, and now serving as a patrol supervisor. Along the way, he has carried the weight that comes with responsibility, trauma, and leadership, while now recognizing and making it known who matters most to him: his wife and young children. This episode highlights how Jorge’s lived experiences have shaped a leadership philosophy rooted in caring for one another, investing in people, and intentionally building a culture where teammates are seen, supported, and valued. He shares hard-earned lessons about balancing duty and family, leading with empathy, and breaking cycles that don’t serve the next generation of officers. This is a conversation about service beyond titles, leadership beyond rank, and the quiet strength it takes to choose family, connection, and humanity in professions that often demand everything. Jorge breaks the stigma by acknowledging what really is normal. Brought to you by Team South Florida, honoring service, supporting those who serve, and reminding us we don’t have to carry the weight alone.
