Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and before we get into the weeds about what that actually means, I want you to take a second and really contemplate these facts: The US alone has experienced a 30% rise in overdose deaths in 2020, with more than 93,000 recorded in a 12-month period…the highest ever on record. Mental health challenges exacerbated by Covid-19, combined with an increase in lethal synthetic drugs like fentanyl, has created a perfect storm that continues to ravage our country and the world with no signs of slowing down.  In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, I sat down with SAFE Project Founder, Ret. Admiral James “Sandy” Winnefeld and Ret Captain Bill Pinamont. SAFE Project stands for Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic and was founded by Admiral Winnefeld and his wife Mary Winnefeld shortly after losing their son Jonathan to an accidental overdose of Fentanyl. Soon after Jonathan's death, the Winnefeld's immediately took action, dedicating themselves to do whatever they could to help prevent other parents from experiencing the same unimaginable grief.   Joining Ret. Admiral Winnefeld is Ret. Navy Captain Bill Pinamont, Sr. Director Veterans Programs at SAFE Project. Bill and the team at SAFE Project Veteran have established veteran specific programs designed to support military veterans and their families who have experienced substance misuse disorders and mental health conditions.   Some of the topics covered in my discussion with Admiral Winnefeld and Bill include: ·      Their approach to work collaboratively with communities, campuses, workplaces, and active-duty service members, veterans and their families to bring non-partisan effective solutions to the overdose epidemic. ·      Stigma associated substance misuse and mental health issues, both for the veteran and civilian community.·      SAFE Veterans programs: Unpacking Your Emotional Ruck, Veteran Wellness, and Virtual Veterans·      Resources if you or a loved one is experiencing addiction or mental health issues.  For more information about SAFE Project, be sure to check out www.

Opioid overdoses are rising as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. In 2020, overdose deaths rose by 30%. However, many chronic disease patients rely on prescription opioids for their healthcare regimen. We examine a balanced policy approach to combat the pandemic while protecting patients with chronic illness. As part of the Reverse the Silence campaign, former Congresswoman Mary Bono shares policy ideas to combat the opioid epidemic and overdose-reversing drugs to save lives. And Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller reflects on his battle with addiction.Plus, August is Health Care Awareness Month. Field Correspondent Kate speaks with the organizers behind the movement, Peter Morley and Rachel Brody, about how you can participate in this month-long advocacy campaign and make your healthcare story heard. Hosts: Terry Wilcox, Executive Director, Patients RisingDr. Robert Goldberg, “Dr. Bob,” Co-Founder and Vice President of the Center for Medicine in the Public InterestKate Pecora, Field Correspondent, Patients RisingGuests:Mary Bono, Co-Convener, The Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), Mothers Against Prescription Drug Abuse (MAPDA), SAFEProject, and ShatterproofDarren Waller, tight end, Las Vegas Raiders, and opioid addiction advocate, Reverse the SilencePeter Morley, Founder's Council Member, United States of Care Rachel Brody, Executive Director, Health Care Awareness MonthRichie Khan, Patient CorrespondentLinks:Reverse the Silence CampaignNeed help?The successful patient is one who can get what they need when they need it.

Pharmaceuticals represent a growing source of pollution that impacts the water in streams, and can eventually make its way into the bodies of animals, fish, and humans. Earth911 talks with Nancy Devine, chief operating officer of Deterra, a Verde Environmental Technologies business, about safe drug disposal. The company makes the Deterra Drug Deactivation System, a recycled- and bioplastic-plastic pouch that contains an activated carbon material which binds to the pharmaceutical molecules to make them inert. It's easy to use; you add water, drop the medication in, and seal it before tossing it in the household trash. Deterra's pouches work on almost all over the counter and prescription drugs, whether they be pills, liquids, syrups, and even gels or creams.Do the environment a favor and dispose of all medications safely. Devine explains that flushing or tossing medication results in soil, water, and groundwater pollution. During the opioid crisis, methadone, for example, is ending up in sewage systems and can escape into the environment. And safe disposal also prevents misuse of leftover drugs, contributing to fewer additions, overdoses, and deaths.Deterra partnered with the non-profit organization SAFEProject and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to launch the Gone for Good campaign to distribute enough Deterra pouches to dispose of more than 1 million discarded prescription pills during October. The giveaway will happen again in March 2020. Additionally, Deterra reaches out through community events, hospital systems, and employers to send their pouches to consumers free of charge. Generally, insurers cover Deterra pouches' cost. You can also order pouches at Deterra's web site. If you would like a Deterra Drug Deactivation System delivered to your home, visit deterrasystem.com/safe/ to learn more about the system and the pouch distribution program.

In this special episode of Intelligence Matters, Michael Morell speaks with retired U.S. Navy Admiral James "Sandy" Winnefeld about a non-traditional national security threat that has affected him personally: America's opioid crisis. Winnefeld recently lost his own son Jonathan to opioid addiction, and he is dedicating his life to reversing a crisis he calls a national emergency. The statistics are staggering: the CDC reports that more than 64,000 Americans died in 2016 from a drug overdose more than 20 times the number of Americans killed on 9/11. Winnefeld, former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says if America is going to reverse this epidemic, "We need a call to arms" to remove the long-standing stigmas around drug use. He has founded SAFEproject.us (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic) to support action that will prevent fatal opioid overdoses, and counter opioid addiction's impact on our society.

This podcast is Zach's story.  Zach started with marijuana at age 15 and eventually moved onto heavier street drugs.  He also ended up on various psychiatric medications which caused him more troubles than the street drugs.  Zach has done the Narconon program and is going to dedicate his life to helping others.  Happy New Year to our listeners.  Let's make this the year of a better life for us all.

In September of this year, the 19 year old son of Admiral James Winnefeld (ret) died from an overdose of heroin mixed with Fentanyl.  He had just come through 15 months of in-patient rehab and was embarking upon a new career as an EMT.  Rather than giving in to the tragedy, Admiral and Mrs. Winnefeld have started an organization - Safe Project (safeproject.us) - to help fight the war on the opioid epidemic in this country.  Here is their story.

IN THIS EPISODE What is the most basic action in the universe? Influence. Technology is all about better directing influence, whether it be influence on the environment, the materials at hand, electronics, software, or people. And there is a lot of technology on the nature of influence and persuasion amongst people. In this episode, we look at how influence is the most fundamental action of life, and why it's a good idea to not be ignorant of the technologies of personal and social influence. After all, who really wants to be a dupe? Answer? Those who remain ignorant of the nature and mechanics of personal influence.

IN THIS EPISODE A few days at the Porcupine Freedom Festival in New Hampshire netted a load of wonderful connections, some very interesting insights and a few very relevant interviews, from the perspective of the technology and choice pair. First up in this episode is Sam Patterson, Chief Operating Officer of OB1, the company developing the Open Bazaar protocol and ecosystem. Sam shares some insights about the ideals of peer-to-peer commerce, shares some very encouraging news about the current real-world successes of the platform, and shares exciting news about the near future, which will make the ecosystem tons better still. Next we spend some quality time with Larken Rose discussing his very ambitious and fabulously important project, The Mirror. This could be one of the most important projects in existence for opening human potential, so listen up and consider pitching in. Finally, we speak with Jeremy Kauffman of LBRY (pronounced "library"). With their imminent launch of the LBRY platform, listeners are in a unique position to get in on the ground floor of what I found to be one of the most exciting practical applications of blockchain technology to come along recently. Content distribution is about to get a really great tool that everyone can use, even the "big guys." Listen for how to get an inside track on the launch for listening to this podcast.

#### In this Episode Chadrick Mahaffey is a software developer and fan of the SAFE Network. For years he's been working to understand organization principles so as to evolve a way that people can "Labor in Freedom." In this interview, we go into the background of how he arrived at what he now calls The Crowd Found Hub, a system using smart contracts and crypto tokens to allow for a very open and fruitful way to organize group activities in a completely voluntary way, but with a way of rewarding value created by participants. Could change a lot of the way we think about how we "have to" do things. #### Magic Word Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim a share of this week's listener award distribution of LTBcoin.

What does this all have to do with technology and choice? We dig in on a scam that Robert himself got snared by, and what he did about it. The image of throwing a ragdoll to a puppy is invoked.
