THIS IS WHAT I’M SAYING

Join me and Dr. Yaver for what is a lively discussion that was recorded just two days after the insurrection at our nation's Capitol. We discuss public policy, politics, public health and the point where they all intersect. Dr. Yaver is also “fun fact” a stand up comedian in her free time and is an all-around fascinating woman to listen to. Join us!

Ashley and I have a conversation about her Tweet thread that went viral and landed her on MSNBC to talk about the Covid ICU and a very special patient she connected with who didn't believe Covid-19 was all that serious. Ashley has also served our country in the military and I loved our conversation.

Fascinating and lively discussion with this dynamic, smart and savvy communications pro from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.

Fantastic discussion with Jennifer about the importance of strategic communications, media relations, employee communications, product marketing-and so much more.

She is a best in class comms pro and has also worked with Hill & Knowlton, Wells Fargo and The Irvine Company.

Interesting conversation with Dr. Freedman about medicine, medical misinformation and frustrations overcoming misinformation in social media and with patients, his discipline of neurology and some possibly good news on that horizon, and his life as a pro-vaccine advocate and why he chose to be outspoken about the importance of vaccinating your family!

Fascinating discussion with Dr. Marino about medical toxicology and what that means in terms of patients he diagnoses and treats, his frustration with misunderstandings and misinformation about drug addiction and his ongoing fight with the hashtag #WTFentanyl and as he indicates on his Twitter, he's frequently in a state of just WTF. This discussion really shines a light on the truth about drugs and his advocacy for patients with harm reduction measures to save lives.

We discuss the opioid crisis in America through the experiences of a mom who lost her son, a young man who struggled with addiction and is now in recovery, and a Sergeant with the Orange County Sheriff's Department who offers community education around drug use and abuse. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges with drug abuse and made recovery more challenging for many people in isolation.
