For the first time ever, Rev and I recorded live from the Justice Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center at the historic P.S. 103 Building. This building was once home to one of America’s greatest legal minds and is now a growing hub of civic engagement and community transformation.

In this episode, we sit down with Baltimore City Sheriff Sam Cogen, whose story bridges cities and communities. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Sheriff Cogen found more than just a career in Baltimore. He found purpose and home.

With candor and confidence, Sheriff Cogen reflects on his personal journey, the values that ground him, and the leadership philosophy that guides his work. He talks about what it means to serve with integrity, how he approaches community safety, and why his background makes him uniquely equipped to lead during this moment of change.

It is not just about badges or titles. It is about accountability, accessibility, and a real connection to the people. Sheriff Cogen shares how he is rethinking the role of law enforcement in a city that is rebuilding trust, neighborhood by neighborhood.
