Podcast appearances and mentions of Ryan Hampton

You might be thinking, fentanyl overdose? This cant happen to me, but youd be wrong. The scary truth about Fentanyl is that it is being included in a lot of counterfeit street drugs. My nephew who is 30, college educated, and in a professional tech job, has lost 4 friends to fentanyl overdose. They thought they were taking molly or something else, but they died because it was laced with fentanyl. These were young men who did not fit the typical demographic of someone youd expect to see in the news. My own son a few years back was experimenting with drugs and had taken a counterfeit pill. We were so lucky he survived. Even the ER doctor couldnt tell us what he took. My point is that when someone is taking drugs, they are playing russian roulette. We need to educate ourselves about whats going on so that we can protect ourselves and our loved ones. Today my guest Ryan Hampton will be talking about his new book Fentanyl Nation. He will be separating fact from fiction, and share simple, yet powerful action steps we can all take to help those who are experimenting or addicted to drugs.

In recovery from a decade-long opioid addiction, Hampton is regarded as a forefront expert and thought leader in America's rising addiction recovery advocacy & drug policy reform movements. An alumnus of the Clinton White House, he's worked with multiple non-profits and addiction recovery organizing campaigns. He's now a prominent, leading face and voice of recovery advocacy and is working to change the longstanding negative narratives about those impacted by addiction, recovery, and overdose. Through his books and media, organizing campaigns, and social content that reaches millions, Ryan breaks down cultural barriers that have kept people suffering in silence and is helping to inspire a new generation of advocates recovering out loud, pushing for common-sense policy. He was part of the core team that released the first-ever U.S. Surgeon General's report on alcohol, drugs, and health in 2016 and was singled out by Forbes the following year as a top social entrepreneur in the recovery movement. Ryan connects a vast network of people passionate about ending the overdose crisis in America. He has been featured by—and is a contributor to—media outlets such as the Today Show, the Associated Press, USA Today, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox and Friends, the New York Times, NPR, HLN, Vice, Slate, The Hill, the Wall Street Journal, and others. Ryan has received praise from Democrats and Republicans alike for addressing addiction as a trans-political issue—crossing the political spectrum to build an inclusive coalition focused on solutions. He works closely with the White House, Senate Democrats, Republicans, U.S. House leadership, and state legislatures across the country. Notably, he helped craft binding provisions addressing substance use disorder in the historic SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, signed into federal law in October 2018. In 2016, he created the web series Addiction Across America, documenting his 30-day, 28-state, 8,000-mile cross-country trip visiting areas hit hardest by the addiction crisis. His first bestselling book, “American Fix — Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis and How to End It,” was released by St. Martin's Press in August 2018. His second book, “Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis,” was released in September 2021 and chronicled his behind-the-scenes efforts representing tens of thousands of victims in the Purdue Pharma opioid settlement litigation. Ryan is currently working on his third book, scheduled to be released in 2024. In 2019, Ryan was named by Facebook as an inaugural community leadership fellow and created the national advocacy initiative, Mobilize Recovery. Since its inception, Mobilize Recovery has recruited and trained over 8,000 new advocates from all 50 states focused on community-based solutions to end the addiction and overdose crisis. In 2022, Mobilize Recovery traveled to 25 states, hosting 35 organizing and advocacy training events throughout September and October, distributing 10,000 doses of free naloxone and over 11,000 fentanyl test strips. Through the Overdose Response Initiative, a not-for-profit coalition Ryan helped to form in 2019, over 625,000 free doses of naloxone have been distributed in 21 states as of December 2022. The alliance comprises nearly 40 organizational stakeholders nationally, including Direct Relief International, the Clinton Foundation, and Mobilize Recovery. He lives in Nevada with his husband, Sean, and their boxer puppy, Quincy.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Ryan Hampton about his book, Fentanyl Nation: Toxic Politics and America's Failed War on Drugs. The American overdose crisis has reached record-breaking heights; preventable overdoses are now responsible for more annual deaths than traffic accidents, suicide, or gun violence. Fentanyl―a potent, inexpensive, and easy-to-manufacture synthetic opioid―has thoroughly contaminated the drug supply, and while it frequently makes front page news across the country, it remains poorly understood by policymakers and the public. Why, despite all of our efforts to raise awareness and billions of dollars of investments, does this emergency keep getting worse? In Fentanyl Nation, recovery advocate Ryan Hampton separates the facts from the fiction surrounding Fentanyl, and shows how overdose deaths are ultimately policy failures. Instead of investing in education, harm reduction, effective treatment, and recovery, we have doubled down on more police, more incarceration, and harsher penalties for those caught in the grip of addiction. Yet history has shown time and time again that it is impossible to arrest our way out of a public health crisis; the government used the same strategy to fight the crack-cocaine epidemic of the 80s and 90s, and it only resulted in racially disparate policing and the destruction of marginalized communities. This urgent and informative manifesto reveals how prejudice, discrimination, and stigma have been codified into our drug laws, and calls for a compassionate and evidence-based approach that would address the core causes of addiction and save countless lives. We can end this crisis, but only if we get out of our own way.

Blake Chastain, host of the Powers and Principalities podcast and writer of the Post-Evangelical Post newsletter is here to tell us all about his new book and the rise in power of white evangelical Christians inside the Republican party. Then, activist and recovering addict Ryan Hampton joins us to tell us all about his new book, “Fentanyl Nation: Toxic Politics and America's Failed War on Drugs.” Hosted on Acast.

Few people are more familiar with America's drug addiction crisis than Ryan Hampton. A former addict himself as well as the author of three books on the crisis, including the new Fentanyl Nation, the Las Vegas based Hampton is also running for the Nevada State Assembly in November. For Hampton, America's failed war on drugs and its toxic politics are part of the same “uniquely American” problem of what he described to me as “reckless capitalism”. That's why, he explains in Fentanyl Nation, 80% of the world's illegal opioid drugs end up in the United States. And it's why addressing America's drug crisis, Hampton argues in Fentanyl Nation, simultaneously requires confronting what he considers to be the toxic politics of the country's pharmaceutical and medical economy.

#84: This week we bring you a very special bonus episode featuring the story of Randy Beard, one of the attendees at the 2023 Mobilize Recovery Conference in Washington D.C. While at the conference, Bryce opened up a space for folks to share their stories and tell us what brought them to Mobilize. He was able to connect with Randy, a Maine native who was attending the conference, and capture his story. Randy is a person in recovery, who struggled with substance use disorder for 36 years and spent 25 years as part of the unhoused community. During this profoundly moving conversation with Randy, we discuss:- The two people who checked on Randy everyday and offered him solutions when no one else was interested in helping. - The celebration of life that turned into a 1,000 person event and eventually led him to attend Mobilize Recovery in Las Vegas.- The thought that there are 22 million people in recovery in the U.S., and if we could all save just one life, that's a lot of lives changed.- Why he goes back to the homeless encampments and shows people unconditional love: because not having that himself was like quick sand; the more you struggle the more you sink.- Being able to see the light come on in someone's eyes. For Randy, there is nothing more rewarding.- A message to the parents and loved ones of folks who battle substance use disorder.Check out the Recover2gether Facebook group, a group started by people in recovery to support each other and recognize the loved ones we have lost.

#25:  Ryan Hampton was miserable in early recovery, and certain that he had destroyed any chance for a happy, successful life.  At a crossroads, he sought wisdom from a friend, who suggested he make the bed each morning.  This simple task set the foundation for self-respect and discipline; qualities that now define the man who is a leading voice of recovery advocacy, and founder of Mobilize Recovery. In a conversation that is as vulnerable as it is enlightening, we discuss the following:How sharing our stories to create empathy is critical, and when storytelling can harm the movement, That the work IS working, and the impact we'll never see on reports or pie charts, What we each can do to affect public policy,The importance of keeping personal recovery work at a distance from recovery advocacy.Ryan shares the story of Mobilize Recovery's beginnings, unexpected ways the organization has evolved, and why advocating for policy change and out of the box thinking is critical to solving the addiction crisis. Mobilize Recovery is an initiative of the Recovery Advocacy Project and the Voices Project.  Its mission is to expand policy to support substance use disorder recovery, create connections to supportive services that are vital and lifesaving, and to engage affected individuals in meaningful community action.  As Ryan describes it, Mobilize Recovery is a "home" for the big, bold ideas born from the creativity and ingenuity of the recovery community.  To learn more about Mobilize Recovery, and to connect with Ryan and his work, visit the following links:http://www.recoveryvoices.com/https://mobilizerecovery.org/https://ryanhampton.org/Twitter @RyanForRecovery and IG @ryanjhampton Join the community by downloading The Phoenix App!  In the app, you can connect with Liz, Bryce and other listeners in The Rise Recover Live Podcast Group.  Let us know what you thought about today's episode, and what you'd like to hear in future shows!  We can't wait to chat with you there.Learn more about The Phoenix, sign up for classes, or become a volunteer at https://thephoenix.org/ .

Back in 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a "war on drugs." More than 50 years later, it's clear that what was a war on drugs in principle turned into an assault on marginalized communities in practice. That's a tone very different than what we heard from President Biden earlier this year during the State of the Union address. At his address, the Biden said, "There is so much we can do: increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery. Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers. If you're suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery." And it's not just President Biden. Even conservative politicians like like Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton have advocated for treatment rather than punishment to address opiod addiction – a  a drug epidemic where white Americans largely have been the public face. To be clear opioid use is a crisis. In 2019 over 70 percent of overdose deaths in the US involved an opioid. And according to research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, overdose deaths between 2009 and 2019 actually hit Black communities the hardest.Even as this crisis is being discussed in ways that are different from previous drug epidemics, there is still a lot of stigma for those seeking recovery from opioid use disorder, also known as OUD. This month the Department of Justice sent an important message with hopes of addressing that stigma. The DOJ issued guidance explaining that people who are recovering from opioid use disorder are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, known as the ADA. This includes anyone taking prescription medications as part of their treatment. We speak with Ryan Hampton, an advocate and author of the book “UNSETTLED: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis.” Ryan is also a person in recovery from opioid addiction. We also speak with Kassandra Frederique, executive director at Drug Policy Alliance, a non-profit that works to end the war on drugs.

Today's guest is Theo Krzywicki, a full-time Los Angeles firefighter and paramedic as well as founder and CEO of End Overdose, a non-profit organization helping to end overdose and provide critical training on how to use harm reduction tools, such as Fentanyl test strips and NARCAN.

Brewing Company, and Lisa Watts, Co-founder and CEO of Hub Town Brewing, Brewmaster and "Jill of everything that needs doing around here".

Hello Loves,   Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I'll be your host.   Today I'm excited to bring you a conversation I had with author and recovery advocate, Ryan Hampton. Ryan recently published a new book detailing the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy, which will not only shock and infuriate you, but will also give you hope and inspire you to take action locally.   We are truly in the midst of an opioid crisis that is not going away any time soon. The repercussions will echo for decades and we need all hands on deck.   Some of the details of this story are sickening but I found the book to be compelling in a very positive way. It reaffirmed my own personal desire to help as many people as I can.   So on that note, I'm hosting a 4 part series called “12 Step Homework” with my friend and Certified Coach, Brooke Collins.   We thought it would be helpful to share our combined 37 years of sobriety and experience with working the 12 steps with those of you who are either wanting ideas on what homework to give your sponcees, or what exercises you can do with a sponsor.   Last week's episode was on steps 1-3 and this week we'll cover steps 4-6. Here's the fun part: you can actually join us LIVE on Instagram Tuesday nights at 5:00pm MST/ 7:00 EST and ask us questions or share the step homework you did. We did it last week and it was a lot of fun! Just follow me on Instagram and look for @arlinaallen to join us live So with that, please enjoy this episode with Ryan!

Last week, a federal judge overturned a roughly $4.5 billion settlement between OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and members of the Sackler family, who own the company.

Host: Brenda Zane, www.brendazane.comGuest: Ryan Hampton, Author & ActivistShow notes: www.brendazane.com/hopestream/91Free e-book: www.brendazane.com/hindsightThe Stream, a community for moms: www.thestreamcommunity.comRyan Hampton is one of those people who instantly exudes his passion and energy for helping people impacted by addiction. In this episode, I sat down with Ryan to talk about his newest book, Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis and how it impacted him personally.Ryan served as co-chair of the official unsecured creditor's committee (UCC) that acted as a watchdog during the Purdue bankruptcy process. He was one of only four victims appointed to the committee, among representatives of big insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacies. He entered the case believing that exposing the Sacklers and mobilizing against Purdue would be enough to right the scales of justice. Unfortunately, he quickly learned that behind closed doors, justice had plenty of other competition - those he thought were "friends" turned out to in fact, be foes.Unsettled is the inside story of Purdue's excruciating Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the company's eventual restructuring, and the Sackler family's evasion of any true accountability. It's a do-not-miss episode that will give you insight to the Purdue bankruptcy trial not found anywhere else. 

What happens when we define ourselves in terms of group memberships? How does culture and society affect our capacity for self-control and self-regulation? Why does the toxic binary of “us” versus “them” seem to be so powerful these days? How can we instead use our shared identities to improve our wellbeing and work toward harmony and flourishing?  My guest for this episode of Flourishing After Addiction is Dr. Jay Van Bavel, a social psychology researcher who studies questions like these in his Social Identity and Morality Lab at NYU. “From neurons to social networks,” he investigates how culture and group identities influence our feelings, self-control, and even our sense of morality. We talk about the relevance of his work for addiction and recovery: how to harness his findings to work toward personal change, why to be skeptical of the usual narrative about self-control, and the urgent need to wake up to the “gravitational pull” of social groups.    Jay Van Bavel, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations, and Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab. He is the co-author of “The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony." Find him on Twitter, and see more at his personal page, his lab website, and his book website.

Author and addiction advocate, Ryan Hampton, joins us to talk about his experience trying to hold Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family accountable for the horrific opioid plague they helped set in motion as outlined in his book, “Unsettled, How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis.” Plus, Ralph answers a listener question about Medicare (Dis)Advantage.

On this episode of Cut of Chase:, Ryan Hampton, author of Unsettled, the stories behind the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy proceedings and the Sackler family over their opioid drug-oxycontin.   The drug has taken over 500,000 lives through overdoses and ravaged families and friends.    Listen on this 2nd part of a 3 part episode detailing what happened during the bankruptcy proceedings that led to the settlement.   Get a close inside view of the way the case proceeded in the bankruptcy court to see if justice was achieved and a workable solution will result to help deal with this crisis.

Ryan Hampton, an alumnus of the Clinton White House, had an up-and-coming career in politics until the early 2000s, when he became addicted to OxyContin, then heroin. After he entered recovery in 2015, he became a prominent advocate on addiction issues, from community-based organizing to national activities, such as helping to release the first-ever U.S. Surgeon General's report on addiction.More recently, Ryan came face-to-face again with Purdue Pharma—the infamous manufacturer and marketer of OxyContin, controlled by the billionaire Sackler family. Purdue filed for bankruptcy in 2019 to protect itself from thousands of lawsuits, and Ryan became the co-chair of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (U.C.C.), a powerful watchdog group that represented thousands of victims with claims against Purdue during the bankruptcy. Just a couple of months ago, the judge in the bankruptcy case signed off on a controversial settlement, granting the family immunity from future liability in exchange for a $4.5 billion payout. The day before the judge approved the deal, Ryan resigned. I sat down to talk with Ryan Hampton about his experiences in the case, which he describes in his new book: Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis. We get personal, and he opened up about the way the case impacted his own recovery, and what he did to cope. We also discuss the insider details of the case, as well as how Ryan's view of the problem evolved over time—how the case revealed to him that the problem is much bigger than the Sacklers or Purdue, and how it was an education in the deeper roots of the overdose and addiction crises. We talk about the relationship between advocacy and personal recovery, finding meaning and purpose in working for change, and what Ryan sees as the way forward after a dispiriting couple of years. I found it a wonderful lesson in working for change without succumbing to despair, as well as a stimulating discussion about what kind of change we need most today.Find Ryan at his website, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. His organization is The Recovery Advocacy Project (RAP), a network of people and organizations across the country advocating for addiction recovery policies.In this episode: - How Ryan went from homeless and addicted to a nationally recognized advocate. (See his first book, American Fix) - Burnout, and burnout as more than depleted energy or rest—how facing injustice can be a part of it. (For one piece on burnout and moral injury in physicians, which bears comparison, see this article.) - Rigidity, ideology, and stigma within the recovery community, and how it hampers advocacy - The crucial element of choice in recovery advocacy  - What exactly went on in the Purdue bankruptcy case? (see also this New Yorker article discussing Ryan's work) - how State governments were not always allies in the Purdue case - A major shift in Ryan's thinking and values: his realization about how much deeper the crisis was than Purdue or the Sacklers. - Ryan's thoughts about how to work for change today.Sign up for my newsletter for regular updates on new interviews, material, and other writings.

On this episode of Cut to the Chase:, Ryan Hampton author of the newly published book Unsettled, begins a 3 part series on the ongoing opioid litigation that the Washington Post has called the most complicated lawsuit in the history of jurisprudence.   Ryan was member of the committee of unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings involving Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of oxycontin.  Listen to Ryan as he begins to discuss the process of this bankruptcy case and his take on the problems and challenges he faced fighting for the victims of this crisis.

As Cal becomes riveted with the Hulu series Dopesick about the drug company that created OxyContin and addicted a chunk of America, he speaks with a man in recovery from a decade of opioid addiction for insight. Ryan Hampton courageously opens up and explains how he became addicted, what it was like and how the bankruptcy of Purdue Pharma failed the victims of the opioid crisis that has killed half a million Americans and addicted millions. Buckle your seat belt for this one.

It was the crime of the century.Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin — which is controlled by the billionaire Sackler family — was the hidden hand behind the national opioid epidemic that has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The company deceived doctors and patients about OxyContin's addictive properties and rewarded high-volume prescribers.In September 2019, Purdue Pharma filed for bankruptcy to protect itself from thousands of lawsuits from individuals, hospitals and local governments. In a settlement reached last month, Purdue Pharma was dissolved, and the Sacklers agreed to pay $4.5 billion to settle claims. But the Sacklers, who remain among the richest families in America, were absolved of opioid-related liability.It appears that the criminals got away with the crime.Ryan Hampton knows this story firsthand. An alumnus of the Clinton White House, he became addicted to OxyContin and ended up unemployed and homeless. He has become an addiction recovery advocate and served as one of four victims appointed as a watchdog during the bankruptcy proceedings. He tried to ensure that justice was done but found himself up against powerful interest groups, including representatives of big insurance companies, pharmacies, and state attorneys general. He finally quit as the co-chair of the Official Unsecured Creditors Committee and wrote a book, Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis."Ignored by a system devised to protect extreme wealth and perpetuate social disparity, Purdue's victims find themselves doubly victimized," Hampton wrote recently in the New York Times. "I know this because I not only represented the victims; I'm one of them."

In September 2019, Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, filed for bankruptcy to protect itself from 2,600 lawsuits for its role in fueling the U.S. overdose crisis. Author and activist Ryan Hampton served as the co-chair of the official creditors committee that acted as a watchdog during the process—one of only four victims to act as representatives of big insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacies. Though Hampton originally believed that holding Purdue to account would be enough to right the scales of justice, he soon came to learn that, no matter what the media said, Purdue did not do this alone. Hampton argues they were in fact aided and abetted by the very systems that were supposed to protect Americans. Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis is Ryan Hampton's look into what happened behind closed doors—the story of a broken system that failed to protect people over profits, and let millions of lives be destroyed by the opioid crisis. From Purdue's bankruptcy proceedings to the company's eventual restructuring and the evasion of true accountability, Unsettled is also the untold story of how a group of determined ordinary people tried to see justice done against the odds and in the face of brutal opposition from powerful institutions. Join us for Ryan Hampton's inside account of Purdue Pharma's role in the overdose crisis—and for a chilling exposé of those who circumvented justice.

In the early 2000s, Ryan Hampton was homeless and struggling with an opioid addiction, wondering how he had gone from working as a White House staffer to begging for change on a California street corner. A decade later in recovery, Ryan found himself at the epicenter of Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy settlement, fighting for justice in a case that gripped a nation in the midst of an overdose crisis. In this episode of Heart of the Matter, Elizabeth Vargas sits down with Ryan to discuss his role in Purdue's bankruptcy proceedings, how it felt to witness the now-infamous depositions of the Sackler family firsthand and why he believes the justice system, as it stands today, could never deliver accountability for Purdue's victims.  Ryan Hampton's new book Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis details the shocking injustice at the heart of the Purdue Pharma settlement. Explore more on topics and themes discussed in this episode: Your Comprehensive Guide to the Opioid Epidemic — and What You Can Do About It Take Action: Increase Access to Opioid Addiction Treatment I Got My Son Back: A Mother's Struggle with Her Son's Addiction
