What Every Michigan Business Owner Should Know Before They Get Sued | Brandon Grysko

Brandon Grysko spent seven years wearing a badge before he ever put on a suit.

He started out chasing a fireman's paycheck, landed in EMS, and then his dad, a career sheriff's deputy, pointed him toward policing instead.

Brandon started noticing he liked the union side of the job more than the job itself. Contract negotiations. Discipline hearings. The parts that looked a lot like law.

Now he runs Fausone & Grysko, a business law firm in Northville, Michigan, and he still thinks like a cop every single day he practices.

We covered a lot of ground in this one.

→ Why he left police work, and what his wife's sleep had to do with it

→ What actually happens in your body during a high stress police encounter

→ The one line cops can say that stops a traffic stop from escalating

→ Why "defund the police" is usually the wrong question

→ What most business owners get wrong before they end up in a lawsuit

Here's what stuck with me. Most people either love cops or hate cops, and Brandon just wants people to be honest about what the job actually requires of a person's body and mind before they judge the split second decisions made inside it.

Thanks to Brandon for making the drive up from Northville and giving us way more time than one episode of cop stories, faith debates, and business advice. Appreciate you, brother!!
