These boys are not only insightful but entertaining. The guests are all hand picked to perfection! 💚
When I first came into recovery I listened to speaker tapes, this says a little bit about my age, all the time which helped a lot. This podcast is awesome with all the different stories to give people connection and hope.
Great job!!!!
Love the talks you all have. Very inspiring and educational as someone who hasn’t had addiction struggles, to learn about those who have. I definitely have a different outlook thanks to this podcast.
The work that OCJ is doing is changing the stigmatization of addiction and mental health. Rick, Ryan and Daymo are great to listen to and the topics are absolutely relatable. The addition of Dennis and Amber is welcoming and makes the podcast that much more interesting. I look forward to it and can’t wait to see this thing blow up. Thanks guys for keeping Medicine Hat close to me.

There is a great message in every persons story that can provide hope for someone else. The honesty and courage in these podcasts has helped me to face issues that I couldn’t even accept I had in my own life. Great job and thank you to ev... more
