Opioid Crisis Watch: A Personal Journey With a Bigger Purpose
Sometimes the most meaningful projects aren't built from a business plan.
They're built from loss.
In this short from The Chris & Mike Show, Paul J Andersen shares the personal story behind Opioid Crisis Watch, the real time website he built to bring greater awareness, information, statistics, and resources together in one place.
For Paul, this wasn't just another website.
After losing his producing partner Scott Bailey, the opioid crisis became deeply personal. Paul felt a responsibility to continue the mission and create something that could potentially help families, people struggling with addiction, and those working every day in prevention and recovery.
Paul explains to Chris and Mike how Opioid Crisis Watch became his attempt to build a living, real time resource rather than simply another collection of outdated statistics.
The conversation also hits close to home for Mike, bringing addiction, recovery, loss, and second chances into a much bigger discussion about what we do with the experiences that change our lives.
Paul could have walked away.
Instead, he built something.
Sometimes purpose is born from the thing you wish had never happened.
