Chapters
Internally, I was struggling because insurance pays slow, and, you know, taking a risk on a new guy with no experience, I wasn't making a lot of money. I didn't feel like I really understood the business that well, still being pretty new, and I got a real severe case of imposter syndrome. A lot of people do. And that was, that's what was going on here at the Mahoney Group. Well, now internally, I was having thoughts of, you know, I really think I miss being a police officer, and I never worked this assignment, or I never got an opportunity to work in this area of police work, and I really wanted to do those things. And I think I am— I think my calling is to be a public servant. I think I'm meant to be a cop. And so after about 18 months, I made the decision to go back to my department and be a cop again.
