Episode 185- Art Castro!  This was a very special episode for me because we tackle two very important topics - homelessness and the opioid epidemic. Art has a YouTube channel called “Lost in Phoenix” where he interviews young people who are addicted to drugs and living on the streets of Phoenix. These stories are heartbreaking but there is hope and even some happy endings for some already. In this episode we discuss why Art became interested in this topic, the specifics of fentanyl, some of the cases from his videos, and how you can help. 0:00:00 - Intro0:01:50 - Welcome Art & Nick Griemsmann Connection 0:02:44 - Growing Up In Phoenix 0:04:15 - Opiates &  Fentanyl 0:08:00 - Starting a YouTube Channel 0:09:20 - Prices of Fentanyl & Task Force 0:11:20 - Themes of Homeless People & Treatment 0:15:52 - Trying to Find Missing Homeless People 0:18:20 - Fears of Safety 0:19:17 - Carlos & Dream of Being an FBI Agent 0:21:24 - Jesus, Overdosing & Reunion 0:26:50 - Tony & Hustling for Money 0:28:43 - Cost and Dosage of Drugs 0:32:19 - Youngest Kids on the Street 0:33:35 - Michael Anthony Arriaga & Arrest 0:36:00 - Things You Don't Know About Drugs 0:37:35 - Enrique & Feeling Weak 0:39:38 - How to Treat Homeless People 0:41:55 - Eric, Recovery & Perspective0:44:30 - Couples on the Street & Enabling 0:45:50 - Looking in the Mirror & Under the Influence 0:49:08 - Boosting 0:49:48 - Media Coverage & Opiate Deaths 0:53:40 - Famous Opiate Deaths 0:55:00 - Prevention Through Awareness  & Transparency 0:57:30 - People Finding Their Purpose 0:58:25 - Donating to Help 1:02:05 - Wrap Up Lost In Phoenix YouTube Channel:https://youtube.com/user/acastrophoenixArt Castro link tree:https://linktr.ee/LostinPhoenixMail donations to:Art Castro2632 S. 83rd Ave Suite 100-240Phoenix, AZ 85043602-930-1289Chuck Shute website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!

Episode #183 - Nick Lowery!!! Nick retired as the most accurate kicker in NFL history. He was a 3 time Pro Bowler and 7 time All Pro. We talk about about his climb to success and the obstacles he faced including being cut 11 times by 8 different teams. What’s as inspiring (if not more) is the work Nick has done off the field.  His work earned him an NFL Man of the Year award in 1993. He has worked with several organizations and causes including Champions for the Homeless, Native Vision, Kick with Nick for Cerebral Palsy, All Pros Against Bullying and Americore. 00:00 - Intro02:03 - Byron "Whizzer" White 03:40 - People with Core Values04:55 - Preparing for the Big Moments06:46 - Breakthrough Moments 09:02 - Who Do I Share My Success With? 13:55 - Purpose & Happiness 15:40 - Growing Up at Dartmouth 16:55 - Cut Eleven Times 18:30 - Opportunity with Kansas City & Mentors 26:25 - Missing Game Winners & Kicker Pressure 32:05 - Charity Work & CBD Organization36:35 - Wrap Up Nick Lowery website:https://nicklowery.comChampions For the Homeless Donations:https://nicklowery.com/donate/Chuck Shute website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
