I had the opportunity to sit down with Andrew Payne, a dedicated father, police officer with the Alachua Police Department, and founder of BAM4LIFE, a mentoring program transforming young lives in the Gainesville and Alachua area.

Andrew opens up about his intentional approach to parenting—weekly check-ins with his kids, teaching love through everyday gestures, and creating space for honest communication. He also shares how his experiences in law enforcement and community mentoring shape his mission to empower the next generation.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about fatherhood, leadership, and what it means to truly show up for your children and community.
