There's so many people in society that people have just given up on, right? They went down a path that wasn't the right path for a little while, and they're sort of written off. And when you add up the number of people who have, in one way or another, been given up on, you start to see a pretty bleak picture for society in that respect.
Can music really make a difference in the world of addiction recovery? In this engaging episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Brian Hooks, CEO of Stand Together, and Colette Weintraub, head of Stand Together Music, to explore this very question.
The duo shares their personal motivations behind their work with Stand Together and how they aim to bring together the music industry, musicians, and change-makers to tackle big issues like criminal justice reform, addiction recovery, and more. They dive into the 1 Million Strong campaign, an initiative that seeks to change how society views addiction and recovery by fostering a sober active community that emphasizes resilience and connection.
If you're curious about how music can be a powerful tool for transformation or want to hear inspiring stories of community support, this episode is a must-listen.
