In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Austin Rodrigues — a former police officer from Lemoore who started his law enforcement career at just 21 years old. We talk about what it was like stepping into that responsibility so young, the lessons that shaped him, and how he learned through experience that growth takes time and refinement.

After six years of service, Austin realized that while he was moving up the ranks, he was also missing out on life beyond the job. Now, he’s in a pivotal season — using the discipline and mindset he built as a cop to level up in every other area of his life. It’s an open, real, and inspiring conversation about maturity, balance, and personal transformation.

Catch the full episode and hear why sometimes stepping away is the first step toward truly living.
