In this episode, you will hear a conversation between Cobb Collaborative Executive Director, Irene Barton, and Nathan Daley, the founder and CEO of The Blue Phoenix Initiative, Inc, a 501(c)(3), which was established to bring awareness to the silent suffering of police officers nationwide.
On August 1, 2019, Nathan experienced a life altering event, while investigating an offender during a routine traffic stop. An altercation ensued, and Nathan was dragged down a busy highway while partially hanging from the offender’s vehicle. Immediately after the incident, Nathan began battling with the mental, physical, and financial hardships that presented themselves. Thanks to his faith in God, family, friends, and our nation, Nathan was able to partially recover from his injuries. Unfortunately, due to the severity of his injuries, Nathan was unable to return to work, which forced him to medically retire.
