Better Call Daddy

April Rovero experienced every parent’s worst nightmare: the death of her son. After a dirty doctor prescribed her son opioids, mixing them with alcohol was fatal. He was only 21 years old. Disgustingly, April’s son was not her first patient to die. People overdosed in her bathroom and she didn’t stop. She would get calls from the coroner's office and didn’t stop. While she ultimately went to jail, what came out in trial makes it shocking to believe she was able to run her practice for so many years. How many millions of dollars did she make? How did April find out what the doctor was doing? Which president did April get a response from? What should you do if someone is overdosing? What can you do to not be a part of the problem? Tune in to find out!  April retired from Lucent Technologies as a National Program Management Director in 2001 after a 30-year career in telecommunications. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and a Masters Certificate in Program Management from Stephen’s Institute of Technology. April founded NCAPDA shortly after her son Joey’s accidental death on December 18, 2009, from an accidental prescription drug overdose while a student at Arizona State University. April leads and oversees all aspects of the organization and is the Chairperson of the Contra Costa County MEDS Coalition, is a Steering Committee member of both the California Opioid Safety Network and the East Bay Safe Prescribing Coalition and is an Executive Steering Committee Member of the Fed Up! Coalition.     Connect with April!  NCAPDA: ncapda.org  Me and My Daddy would love to hear from you! ratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy

Right after Moussa left the military, his friend, who struggled to adapt to life on the submarine, killed two people and then himself. This incident and all that lead up to it highlighted how the Navy neglected the mental health struggles that people dealt with. And it was this incident that propelled Moussa to learn about and advocate for mental health support.

Why do we get cool ideas and not act on them?  How do you put gratitude and ease into your day? Find out why your ego might actually be keeping you from succeeding in your life!   Andrew Kap holds one goal above all others through his various projects: Genuine and Sustainable Impact.  He’s the former Marketing intern for WWE, Host of Shatter The Mold Podcast, and his latest offering, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” offers readers a never-before-seen understanding of the topic — that no other “LOA” book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of finally addressing WHY people who get excited about trying it still can’t manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day. The book has enjoyed continued success, including over 1,000 five-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it.   Andrew’s also happy to share how he used his techniques to reclaim his own life (in a very little time) after losing his business and his girlfriend all in the same week. The fast changes he experienced in his finances, his love life, and his health blew him away and made him understand why these simple methods weren’t working in the past.   Book Listing on Amazon: www.LastLawofAttractionBook.com Andrew’s YouTube Channel: www.YouTube.com/AndrewKap   Me and My Daddy would love to hear from you! ratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy
