About the host

Lenny Bradley is a former NYPD detective who traded the promise of a pension for a life of purpose. After 17 years of service, he walked away from the badge — not because of burnout, but because of calling.

Today, Lenny mentors, inspires, and challenges others to pursue identity, healing, and legacy beyond their career titles. His mission is simple: to prove that purpose doesn’t retire — it evolves.
