Delicious F’n Donuts! | Inside LuchaDough’s Wild World of Wrestling & Donuts
Episode 113
Show notes
What happens when you combine gourmet donuts, professional wrestling, and a little South Florida attitude? You get Luchadough. On this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast, I sit down in person with Christian to learn about how his love of wrestling and seriously good donuts turned into one of South Florida's most unique pop-up food concepts. We talk about the origins of Luchadough, learning the art and science of making great donuts, developing wild flavors, building a recognizable brand, and the realities of entrepreneurship that customers never see. We also get into Christian's love of professional wrestling, the inspiration behind the “squared circle” donuts, some of his favorite creations... and, of course, we're going to eat a few donuts along the way. It's baking, business, wrestling and Delicious F'n Donuts on this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast. Instagram: Luchadough Location: 1811 Ludlam rd Miami, Florida Times: Thursday - Sunday 7:00am-12:00pm

The Dog That Saved a Warrior | Jose Pila & Warrior Dog Spirit
Episode 112
Show notes
Jose Pila’s journey has taken him from the U.S. Army and combat deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq to one of the most difficult battles of his life after coming home.
Then came Ranger.
Ranger, an Alaskan Malamute service dog, became a pivotal part of Jose’s life and ultimately helped inspire Warrior Dog Spirit—a veteran-founded whiskey company built around honoring the extraordinary bond between warriors and the dogs who serve beside them.
On this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast, Jose joins me to talk about his military service, transitioning out of that world, Ranger’s impact on his life, and why the relationship between veterans and service dogs can be so powerful.
We also get into whiskey: how someone goes from the military to starting a spirits company, what actually goes into creating a whiskey brand, and why Warrior Dog Spirit uses its bottles to tell the stories of remarkable working dogs throughout history.
And we’ll talk about the Warrior Dog Spirit Foundation, its mission to connect veterans with service animals and help retiring military and first-responder K9s find loving homes.
This is a conversation about service, purpose, dogs, second chances—and enjoying a good whiskey along the way.
The foundation says its mission includes increasing veterans’ access to service animals while helping retired military and first-responder K9s transition into homes, and that whiskey and merchandise sales contribute to its work and other veteran-focused organizations.

A Hero's Legacy Is Still Saving Lives | The Story of Aden Perry
Episode 111
Show notes
On April 19, 2022, 17-year-old Aden Perry was walking with his mother, Sarah, in Sunrise, Florida, when a vehicle crashed into a nearby lake.
When the driver called for help, Aden didn't hesitate.
He tried to save a stranger.
Tragically, Aden lost his life that night—but his story didn't end there.
On this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast, I'm joined by Aden's mother, Sarah Perry, to talk first about who Aden was: a gifted student, musician, aspiring neurosurgeon, animal lover, and young man whose instinct was always to help other people.
Sarah then takes us through the events of that night and the unimaginable experience of losing her son while he was attempting to save another person's life.
But this is also a story about what happened next.
Sarah and her family created the Aden Perry Good Samaritan and Scholarship Fund, transforming Aden's legacy of kindness and service into scholarships, educational programs, community projects, recognition of other young heroes, and the Aden Perry Hero Life Ring Initiative.
Hundreds of those life rings have now been installed near waterways—and recently, one was used in Plantation, Florida, to help rescue a driver whose vehicle had plunged into a lake.
The foundation's message is simple:
THROW, DON'T GO.
This is a conversation about Aden's life, a mother's unimaginable loss, and how one young man's instinct to help others continues to save lives and inspire acts of kindness years later.

From the Farm to Superyachts: An Aussie’s Unlikely Journey | Adam Shelton | Donut Shop Podcast
Episode 110
Show notes
How does a farm kid from Australia end up working aboard superyachts, traveling the world, helping people plan cruise vacations—and coaching F45 in South Florida? On this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast, I sit down with Adam Shelton, someone I originally got to know as one of my coaches at F45. But there’s a lot more to Adam’s story. We go back to his childhood growing up in Australia and talk about farm life, sports, leaving home, his journey into the world of superyachts and megayachts, and what life is really like working aboard luxury vessels. We also get into travel, his work helping people plan cruise vacations, Australia vs. America, fitness, coaching at F45, and the unexpected turns that took him from an Australian farm to where he is today. It’s a conversation about travel, taking chances, hard work, fitness and what can happen when you’re willing to follow an unconventional path.

You Built It. Now Protect It. | Todd Villarrubia
Episode 109
Show notes
Today's conversation is going to be a little different from some of the law enforcement stories we normally bring you—but it's about something that eventually affects every one of us.What happens to everything you've spent your life building?
Today's guest is Todd Villarrubia, an estate attorney whose work focuses on helping entrepreneurs, business owners, and families protect their assets, reduce unnecessary tax exposure, and create strategies designed to preserve wealth across generations.
And when most of us hear words like estate planning, asset protection, or generational wealth, it's easy to think that's something for somebody with a private jet and $50 million in the bank.But think about the average police officer, firefighter, or first responder after a 20- or 30-year career. You may have a pension, deferred compensation, a home, investments, life insurance, maybe a side business—and hopefully you've accumulated something you'd like to leave behind for your family.
So today, I want to strip away some of the legal and financial jargon and talk about the practical side of protecting what you've worked for.
We're going to talk about estate planning, taxes, entrepreneurship, protecting your family, building wealth, and some of the mistakes people make because nobody ever taught us how this stuff actually works.

Delivering Mail Through Hell: The Pony Express of Afghanistan
Episode 108
Show notes
Joining me are Edward “Hammer” Ford and Alan “Chase” Chiasson, authors of Postcards Through Hell.
Ed is a retired United States Marine who served in the infantry and Force Reconnaissance before continuing his career as a security contractor, with experience spanning the Gulf War, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Chase served in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and later worked overseas providing high-risk medical support for protective security details, convoy operations, and force-protection missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Together, they became part of a group known as the Pony Express—private security contractors tasked with moving U.S. mail and other critical supplies across Afghanistan.
And when I say delivering the mail, forget the mail truck driving through your neighborhood. These guys were moving across some of the most dangerous roads in the world, facing IEDs, ambushes, the Taliban, criminal groups, and all of the unpredictability that came with operating outside the wire.
But tonight I don't want to only talk about gun trucks, firefights, and IEDs.
I want to talk about Afghanistan itself.
The people they met. The friendships they formed. The ridiculous things that made them laugh. The families waiting thousands of miles away. Why they kept going back. What those years took from them—and maybe even what Afghanistan gave them in return.
Because Postcards Through Hell isn't only a story about surviving a war zone. It's also a story about brotherhood, sacrifice, purpose, and a group of men trying to bring a little piece of home to people serving very far away from it.

Unraveling the Rolodex of Trauma with Officer Matt Jenatscheck
Episode 107
Show notes
Today’s guest is Officer Matt Jenatscheck, an Iowa police officer with nearly three decades on the job who currently serves with the Cedar Rapids Police Department’s Police Community Action Team, or PCA; a unit focused on reducing gun violence and gang activity in some of the city’s most challenging areas.
Over the course of his career, Matt has served in a wide variety of roles, including as a DEA Task Force Officer, Homeland Security Investigations Task Force Officer, detective, Field Training Officer, patrol sergeant, and much more.
But today’s conversation isn’t really about assignments, titles, or arrests.
It’s about what almost 30 years of this profession can do to the person wearing the uniform.
Matt describes accumulated trauma as a Rolodex filled with index cards. Every difficult call adds another card. For years, those cards keep flipping around until eventually they become tangled on the spool.
And like many of us who came up around an older generation of cops, Matt learned to deal with those experiences by pushing them down, moving on to the next call, and, as he puts it, rubbing some dirt on it and getting back to work.
Eventually, that stopped working.
Today, Matt is willing to speak openly about his own struggles, his resistance to getting help, substance use, suicide, finally admitting that something wasn’t right, and what happened when he allowed people to help him.
This isn’t a conversation about weakness. It’s a conversation about what can happen when years of exposure to trauma accumulate, and why sometimes the hardest words for a first responder to say are simply, “I need help.”
If you want to reach out to Matt, you can find him at: Code4mindsetllc@gmail.com
Matt requested that his friend’s Instagram also get a tag.

Searching for killers in Brazil and Walking for Justice
Episode 106
Show notes
Today's guest is making his third appearance on the show, and if you've been with us for a while, you'll remember retired detective and author Freddy Ponce. Throughout his distinguished law enforcement career, Freddy investigated some of South Florida's most complex and high-profile cases, earning a reputation as a relentless investigator with an eye for the details that others often missed. Since retiring, he's become an accomplished author, sharing the true stories behind many of the investigations that shaped his career.
When Freddy joined us last time, he introduced one of the most fascinating cases he'd ever worked, a story that was still unfolding and had yet to reach its conclusion. We ended that conversation knowing there was much more to uncover.
Now, Freddy is back with his newest book, which finally tells the rest of that story. Today, we're picking up where we left off, talking about how the investigation evolved, the twists that no one saw coming, and the lessons learned after the case was finally brought to its conclusion.
If you haven't had a chance to watch Freddy's first two appearances on the Donut Shop Podcast, I encourage you to go back and check them out after today's episode. They provide the foundation for what promises to be an incredible continuation of this story.

Donut Shop Podcast Episode 105 Gregg Owen Double Murder Prosecution
Episode 105
Show notes
Today's guest is Gregg Owen, a former homicide prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago. During one of the most violent periods in the city's history, Gregg prosecuted more than sixty murder cases and later became Illinois' first Chief of the Gang Prosecutions Unit. Along the way, he witnessed not only violent crime, but also the corruption, witness intimidation, and courtroom politics that most people never see.
Before entering the courtroom, Gregg lived a completely different life as a touring rock musician, opening for legendary acts before ultimately finding his calling in the pursuit of justice. That unique journey gives him a perspective few prosecutors have.
His latest book, Convergence, tells the true story of a double homicide investigation from the prosecution's point of view, taking readers behind the scenes of what it really takes to bring a murder case to trial when witnesses disappear, fear takes over, and corruption threatens justice.

Donut Shop Podcast Episode 104 Douglas J Wood
Episode 104
Show notes
Today's guest is Douglas J. Wood, an award-winning author of both fiction and nonfiction whose latest thriller, Deadly Bytes, asks a question that sounds like science fiction—but may be closer to reality than many of us realize.
Before becoming a full-time novelist, Douglas spent more than 45 years as one of the nation's leading entertainment and media attorneys, advising clients on technology, ethics, regulation, and the rapidly changing legal landscape. That experience gives him a unique perspective on how innovation often outpaces the laws designed to govern it.
His newest novel follows an FBI investigation into a murder case involving an advanced artificial intelligence capable of manipulating digital evidence, anticipating law enforcement tactics, and influencing violent behavior. While fictional, the themes mirror real conversations happening today about AI, accountability, public safety, and where we draw the line between technology and human responsibility.
Today we're discussing artificial intelligence, criminal investigations, the future of policing, and why fiction sometimes becomes reality sooner than we expect.

Episode 103
Show notes
Today’s guest is Augustus Hellwich, founder and CEO of Illuno, a technology platform that’s modernizing how businesses connect with verified off-duty law enforcement officers.
What started as an idea to improve transparency and simplify off-duty employment has evolved into a platform focused on something even bigger, trust. From officer verification and liability protection to helping prevent fraud and police impersonation, Illuno is working to raise the standard for how private security and off-duty policing are managed.
Today we’re talking about entrepreneurship, technology, public safety, and why identity verification may become one of the most important issues facing both law enforcement and private security in the years ahead.

Donut Shop Podcast Episode 102 Gabriel Key
Episode 102
Show notes
Today’s guest is Gabriel Key; a rising country music artist with Cuban roots, a South Florida upbringing, and a life story that’s anything but ordinary. When he’s not performing on stage or recording music in Nashville, Gabriel serves as a full-time firefighter and paramedic, bringing the same passion for serving others into his music.
His sound blends modern country with influences from artists like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line, while also drawing inspiration from hip-hop legends like Tupac, Biggie, and Eminem. That unique mix has helped him carve out his own lane in country music. Along the way, he’s opened for artists like Dylan Scott, Drake Milligan, Russell Dickerson, and has performed during tours featuring Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.
Today we’re talking about music, first responder life, entrepreneurship, chasing impossible dreams, and how those experiences all come together in his songwriting.
