When we think of addiction and addicts we tend not to think of what caused them to be in the position they're in. Whether it be experiencing trauma in life or just experimenting at a party, addiction runs rampant in the communities. This episode is here to shine a different light on addiction and addicts and how we can help them by getting a deeper understanding of what they're dealing with everyday. Contrary to popular belief, most addicts want to kick their substance abuse and if we do right by them they can reclaim the lives they were living before they became addicted. We also take a deeper look into the lives of the people that are affected by addiction second hand; friends and family of the addicts who suffer as well and how we can help them help their loved ones while also helping themselves. We are all in this together, and if one fails we all fail and when one succeeds we all succeed. Big thank you to Jan, Shiz & Stink for being amazing guests.

The Intelligent Rebel Squadcast has returned for the people and we are exciting to get started again! This episode, titled "Group Economics" is the first of many episodes in our "Solution Series" where we tackle the issues that plague the people, specifically black people. Practicing group economics is essential to our liberation so we decided to drop this to expand on its importance in our communities.

In this episode I expanded on the importance of unity in the community, specifically the black community. We are constantly plagued with programming that has made it possible to never unite with people we live around. When we walk outside our homes do we greet our neighbors and passers by? Do we make sure that the people in our neighborhoods are good? If you saw someone struggling with something would you offer help? These are some of many components that make communities prosper and this episode details why and how we start implementing these ideas as soon as possible.
