EP 43 – Your Boy Got a Hit on Him – Officer 401
I first came across “Officer 401” on YouTube. After being sucked in by the great content he was sharing on his channel, I knew right away that I wanted to reach out to him about being a guest on the podcast.
This dude not only talks about some great stuff, but he's also pretty funny!
I really enjoyed the conversation and I encourage you to not only listen to the entire episode, but go follow and check out his content… Dude is crushing it!
ABOUT THE GUEST:
- 13.5 Years in law enforcement
- From Georgia
- Successful Vlogger and social media influencer
- Graphic designer
SHOW SEGMENTS:
01:53 – Lead Off Question: “Why law enforcement?” Officer 401 explains how the influence of his dad, who spent years in the profession, was a huge part of him wanting to become a police officer. Officer 401, talks about going on ride-alongs as a teenager and one in particular, that solidified the deal for him getting into police work.
17:30 Dig Deeper: This is where I pick several posts from the guest's social media and form questions around those posts.
POST – Comment someone made to your pic of your cactus tattoo:
“mrpurpleguy Did it hurt? I’m thinking of getting a tattoo myself.”
@mrpurpleguy_ they hurt yea. But If it’s something you really want they are worth it. It’s not crazy painful unless you do colors
- Does the tattoo symbolize or have any significant meaning?
- Is that you’re only tattoo?
- What is or was something that really hurt you to do or go through, but it was something you really wanted?
POST: – Pic of the new pool you out up for the family::
“What better way to spend a day off than building a pool! Here's the before and after. The kids loved it! I can't wait to jump in tomorrow. 😜 Grilled some delicious chicken and Mrs. 401 made broccoli and rice for sides. Awesome day, and I hope yours was too! 😊”
- Besides spending time with the family, what do you enjoy doing to get away from the job?
- What’s one moment with your kids that you will always chairish?
POST: – Split pic of you in patrol car when you first started and now:
It’s really long post but the part I want to focus on:
“I was a kid. I've now spent over a third of my life as a cop. This job has changed me in ways I never imagined, both good and bad.”
- What was 15 year old 401 like?
- Can you give 2 good and bad ways the job has changed you?
- If you had to do it all over would you choose LE again?
38:17 – Random Seven: Here I use an app to create 7 totally random questions. Here's the list of questions I asked Officer 401:

- WYR find something valuable that you lost or fix something valuable that was broken?
- If you could be friends with a ghost, what era would you want the ghost to be from?
