He shares candidly about his work with outreach organizations, from San Francisco's Stop AIDS Project in the '90s to his current role at Human Condition Consulting.

Gris and Luis explore how breaking free from societal structures and dysfunctional belief systems can lead to true liberation. This episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with insights and inspiration for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
