#162 The Anti-Hero Mindset: Tyler Hoover On Law Enforcement, Culture Shifts & Counterculture Inc.

In this After Dark episode, I’m joined by Tyler Hoover — co-host of the Anti-Hero Podcast & founder of Counterculture Inc.

Tyler’s a U.S. military vet, an active law enforcement officer, and a guy who’s not afraid to speak his mind. We got a chance to sit down after my recent trip out to Florida where I was on his show, and I had a lot of follow-up questions that we didn’t get to cover then.

We get into his journey through the military and law enforcement, what it’s really like working in today’s culture, and the mission behind his companies and the conversations he’s starting in the podcast space — especially with other first responders who are out there trying to make a real impact.

Tyler’s a straight shooter — what you see is what you get — and this convo goes deep. Appreciate him taking the time to sit down and chop it up with me.

Enjoy the show!
