Dennis and I reconnect after his 2,500-mile bike ride where he attended the BLM march in DC and raised money for Native causes. Dennis speaks of the multiple levels of adventure he had as well as a few ugly moments along the way. But he is home safe and sound almost three months later. Additional topics include the simple life, mental health, homelessness, lost loves, and one of our favorite topics, addiction.&nbsp; I lose my shit during one question from Dennis and you will hear tears flow. The other tearful topic got cut because of time and irrelevant content. This is Part 1 of two parts so watch for the continuation next week in Episode #9. Thank you.&nbsp;

Episode #9: Dennis Dodson part two conclusion after his 2,500- mile bike ride fundraiser

At the core of my being is truth. I have endured much pain and learned to stare it down.  Between us, we will dig into the stories, lessons, and tools of our lives. We're all in this thing together so let's take a look at our current reality and try to figure out where to go from here. My need to help comes from watching my mom try to survive as a homeless bag lady on the streets of Baltimore city for over a decade after being released from the mental hospital that took her from us when I was five. As a former drug addict, junkie, high school dropout, professional athlete, and global corporate business executive, I've seen a thing or three. This is not about me, this is about us.
