Marine veteran and double amputee patrolman Matias Ferreira joins us to share his extraordinary story of survival, strength, and service. After losing both legs in an IED explosion in Afghanistan, Matias fought through recovery at Walter Reed and went on to become the first fully active-duty double amputee police officer in the U.S. In this inspiring conversation, Matias reflects on the events of 9/11, life in combat, the emotional toll of PTSD, and how faith, family, and community helped him rebuild. We also discuss his powerful mission behind the podcast Another Cop’s Mentality, where he amplifies mental health awareness and builds support for first responders and veterans.
