Bob Forrest and Don't Die Wisconsin: A Raw Look at Society's Challenges

We have this society that needs changing. I was completely unaware of it until we started talking about it in this room.
Picture this: a hotel room, four passionate voices, and a recording that almost didn't happen. In this engaging episode of 'Don't Die Wisconsin', hosts Kevin Schaefer, Patrick Reilly, and Ryan Gorman are joined by their friend Bob Forrest, fresh off his keynote speech at the Opioid Conference in Green Bay. Despite a technical hiccup with Ryan's computer, the conversation flows seamlessly, thanks to Bob's steadying presence.
The group dives into a mix of heavy and thought-provoking topics, from the opioid crisis in Wisconsin to the broader issues of universal healthcare and socialism. They also touch on generational poverty and the unique struggles of the rust belt. Bob, known for his dual roles as a musician and counselor, brings a unique perspective to the table, adding depth to the discussion.
His candid insights and the hosts' unfiltered approach make this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or interested in societal change. One memorable moment comes when Bob reflects on his own awakening to societal blind spots, saying 'We have this society that needs changing. I was completely unaware of it until we started talking about it in this room'. This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about sparking conversations that could lead to real change.
So, grab your headphones and get ready for an honest, no-holds-barred discussion that tackles some of society's most pressing issues.
