039: Becoming Donny - Todd Maguire
<p>Todd Maguire never planned on becoming a police officer.</p><p>A conversation over a few schooners changed that — and began a career that would eventually take him deep into Queensland's undercover policing world.</p><p>But Todd's story is about much more than police work.</p><p>After the sudden death of his partner Karen, Todd found himself struggling with grief, guilt and a pain he didn't know how to process. Not long afterwards, he stepped into a new identity as undercover operative “Donny” — a world of crooks, drugs, weapons and high-risk operations that offered an escape from everything Todd was carrying.</p><p>In this episode, Todd joins us for a raw, funny and remarkably open conversation about policing, undercover work, loss, reckless behaviour, PTSD, nervous-system regulation, vulnerability and what he has learnt about himself along the way.</p><p>We also explore why lived experience matters, the conversations men often struggle to have, and Todd's simple idea of talking shoulder to shoulder rather than face to face.</p><p>This is a conversation about what happens when the job gives you somewhere to run — and what it takes to eventually stop running.</p><p>You can find out more about Todd and his book here:<a href="https://toddmaguire.com.au/">Donny - A raw Australian memoir by Todd Maguire</a></p><p>Music thanks to:</p><p><a href="https://thesefourwallsband.com/">These Four Walls - Hard Rock Band Gold Coast QLD</a></p><p>Improve sleep, performance and wellbeing with GOAT:</p><p><a href="https://thegoatco.au/">The Greatest of All Tapes - Sleep Better.
