The Edlow Podcast

May 16 2024 • 1 hr 41 mins

Joe Gamble is an African-American police officer who serves in the Sacramento area.

Joe grew up in humble circumstances. His siblings struggled with many of the vices that came with their surroundings. Joe was determined to make a better life.

On his 19th birthday, his parents kicked him out of the house. He would eventually end up homeless in San Francisco.

In San Francisco he found a Men's home and support that got him into college. He excelled in football (in a non traditional role) and eventually joined the Marines. He served combat tours in Afghanistan.

He now serves as a peace officer in the Sacramento area. His circumstances and general distrust of police has made him a unique person on the force. He is now a proud father of two children and a home owner.

Hear the story. Joe talks about PTSD, survivor's guilt, Homelessness mindset, war, the police, growing up on the streets and his motivation mindset.
