Conversations with Rich Bennett

In this Special Rage Talk episode, Rich and cohost Wendy Beck have a conversation with Cc and Danny Summers.

Danny and Cc met years ago, but the way they met is just the beginning of the story. As a matter of fact, when you hear their story, let us know if you know of any other married couples that are both in recovery. Danny and Cc are, and they found that love is the best drug and addiction of all.

Thank you to Danny and Cc Summers for the conversation.

In this episode, Rich has a conversation with Kim Hamer.

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-year-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love."

She is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support an employee, friend, or coworker. She's an HR consultant and sought-after public speaker living in Los Angeles, where she tries not to bother her well-behaved college-aged children.

Katelyn and Patrick are the Co-Founders of The Endorphin Project. The mission of the 501c3 is to remove barriers for those seeking to engage in physical activities as part of their mental health treatment plan.
