In this episode of The #Speakeasy Podcast, Altovise explores how a breakdown in communication between entrepreneurs, relationships, marriages, finances, and children can be mended by mastering active, visual communication and uncovering the power of soundbites.

Podcast interviews are a great way to market and reach people who are looking for more than just a snack. "Sometimes we need silence to digest some things.

Dana Golden is a family addiction coach and interventionist. David Marianne is the founder of Life Recovery Coach and Life Recovery Interventions. He is an advocate for those struggling to get into treatment, those trying to maintain sobriety, and those that have been bumped up against that path. [00:03:37] - David's family doesn't want to talk about his relationship problems, but it's the best thing to bring it out in a healthy way. David stopped talking to his girlfriend because he didn't know how to handle the situation. David believes that if you see something that doesn't look right, you should talk about it. [00:06:20] -  Dane believes that addiction is an elephant in the living room. [00:08:01] - The way addiction affects the family. It ravages them like an F Five hurricane. Many families ask if marijuana is a gateway drug. In his experience, he's never seen anyone go from smoking marijuana to shooting drugs. For him, the gateway to harder drugs and self-medicating the pain is trauma. [00:09:37] - In the best-case scenario, one in three or one in four people are touched by addiction. Whether in themselves or someone they know well or peripherally. The numbers are a lot stronger than they were before because of the pandemic of addiction and mental health disorders. [00:10:52] - David and his ex-wife are both recovering alcoholics. She wants to get certified as a recovery coach to help other families. She goes through a checklist of their social life, their finances, their relationships, their job status and their attitude to help them change their lives. [00:15:43] - It takes time to recover from an addiction. It's more of a mental problem than a physical one. The recovery comes from not having an obsessive thought to use in a long time. The pandemic was not planned and so maneuvering through unplanned moments plays a big part in the recovery. [00:19:06] - David and Dana help people struggling with addiction. They have a website where people can take a quiz to find out if they have an addiction problem. David and Dana are trying to shed light on the problem and help people to find a solution to their problems. They are happy to answer any questions.
