"Catch his Podcast! It will blow your mind!"

"I went to your presentation this week and learned about 7-Hydroxy (Kratom). A few days after your presentation we had two young children ingest pills. Narcan was not working. I soon realized what these pills were. Prior to your presentation, I had not heard of 7 Hydroxy. None of the guys at my agency had heard of it before either. Just wanted to share our experience and I appreciate how relevant the information is that you present."
