This week, we’re joined by Ed Leon: retired law enforcement officer, OCR race director, entrepreneur, and a dad of 27 years. From leading federal investigations to launching Frontline OCR and even crafting Irish shillelaghs (yep, really), Ed brings the grit, leadership, and dad wisdom that only comes from decades of showing up.

In this episode:

What 27 years of fatherhood teaches you about balance, grit, and family
