In this episode of 'Professionals Unplugged,' I chatted with Kevin Hyer, the founder and CEO of the Heyer Calling Foundation. Kevin's organization is all about breaking down the stigma around substance use disorder at work and offering second chances to those in recovery. Kevin opens up about his own journey through addiction and recovery, and how it led him to help others get their careers back on track. We talk about the stigma and challenges of substance use disorders, the need for supportive and recovery-friendly workplaces, and the legal things companies should know. This episode highlights the incredible impact of giving motivated people in recovery a fresh start, and how it benefits not just them, but their families and communities too.
