Season 2, Episode 55!This week's guest is Zach Rhoads. Jay first found Zach's work on Filter (yes, another Filter connection!) but he's also written a book with Stanton Peele called Outgrowing Addiction: With Common Sense Instead of “Disease” Therapy. Together with Peele, Zach works at the Life Process Program helping people working with those struggling with Addiction. You can learn more by reading his work on Filter Mag at: https://filtermag.org/author/zach-rhoads/ or at one of the previous links. And check out his medium article The Day I Left AA, as referenced in this convo. Today's Good Egg: Bend but don't break your routine. This year's Birthday Fundraiser is LIIIIIIIVE! Y'all were so amazing last year, helping us raise over $12,000 for Drug Policy Alliance, I'll love you all for coming through again this year. For my birthday this year, I'm raising money for Savage Sisters, an amazing organization I'm a board member for here in Philly. We provide recovery housing and harm reduction outreach. Founded and led by a woman in recovery, y'all know I'm ALLLLLLL about this work. To learn more and get involved, check out the link: https://www.facebook.com/donate/131518205723435/. Our goal is $2,500 and we're closing in on $2,000.Looking for someone to wow your audience now that the world is reopening? My speaking calendar is booking up fast!
