In 2021, 45 people died each day from a prescription opioid overdose, totaling 17,000 deaths.

My guest has been involved in government relations activities since 1986 when he left as chief-of-staff at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to go to the private sector. Today, he is a Lobbyist and advocate in Washington D.C., where he is fighting hard to keep the Natural Herbal supplement Kratom legal and accessible for consumers and patients who are suffering from chronic pain and addiction to opiates.
