Mike Gottlieb Talks Mental Health, Jail Release, and Community Impact with Dr. Barry

You know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and we still don't have that in our heads as a legislative body, and so I'd like to see changes like that come about.
Ever wondered how a state representative balances a career in law, personal recovery, and community service? Michael 'Mike' Gottlieb, Florida's State Representative for district 98, sits down with Dr. Barry on 'Rhyme & Reason' to share his journey. Mike's background in criminal defense spans over 25 years, but his story doesn't stop at the courtroom. In this episode, he opens up about his own path to sobriety and the lessons he's learned along the way.
The discussion dives into crucial topics like mental health, jail release programs, and the power of charitable contributions. Mike and Dr. Barry also tackle the opioid crisis, the role of medically assisted treatment, food addiction, and the ongoing debate around marijuana legalization. Mike’s belief in prevention over cure shines through as he emphasizes proactive community involvement. If you're keen on understanding how you can make a positive impact in your neighborhood, this episode is a must-listen.
