This week, we welcome Dane Mentzer, founder of Save Your Face to the show. Save Your Face focuses on raising awareness around mental health, addiction and suicide prevention. We hold nothing back and get down to it in the episode. Dane discusses the loss of his younger brother from suicide and personal struggles with mental health and addiction. James and Brandon share their experience with addiction, recovery and living life on life’s terms. You will definitely need to buckle up for this one.
Dane Mentzer: Missionary turned Air Force Officer turned IV drug addict turned mental health advocate. It's been a long, strange trip, but I've never been more grateful for the opportunity to share the lessons I've had to learn the hard way.
