In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, retired Las Vegas Police Captain Josh Bitsko reflects on how the meaning of joy evolves throughout a career. Early on, it came from making arrests and protecting the community. But as he rose through the ranks, that sense of fulfillment shifted from chasing suspects to mentoring others, developing leaders, and finding purpose in helping people grow.

Josh shares how learning to adapt what brings you joy can sustain motivation, prevent burnout, and make your work more meaningful over time. Whether you’re early in your career or nearing retirement, this episode is a reminder to pause and ask: Where do you find joy right now, and are you allowing it to change as you grow?
