Nate Smiddy, known as 'Narcan Nate', opens up about his challenging journey from addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for many. Growing up in Tennessee, Nate's early years were marred by struggles with pills and cocaine. His path to recovery wasn't straightforward, marked by relapses and battles that many can relate to.

His work extends to supporting the homeless community, demonstrating the profound impact of empathy and action in battling the opioid crisis. This episode of 'Henry's Uncle' is a raw, honest conversation that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the power of second chances.
