This episode is another collaboration with the non profit Brent Sopel Foundation, part of the “You Are Not Alone Series.” Brent’s a retired professional hockey player. As a defenseman, he played professional hockey in the NHL, KHL, and AHL. In 2010, he won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks. Brent Sopel is dyslexic and founder of the Brent Sopel Foundation. Though known for playing professional hockey, Brent would like his legacy to be that he did everything within his power to assist dyslexic children everywhere.   In this episode, we talk with the engaging Kenny Johnson, a fantastic character actor who you can currently see as Officer Dominique Luca on S.W.A.T. He’s also been on the Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Bates Motel and tons of other shows and films. He’s a fascinating guy, and the chat covers everything from dyslexia to his adventures on the pro arm wrestling circuit (seriously).  This episode is edited from the original interview. To see this interview in its entirety, visit the Brent Sopel Foundation page on Facebook, or at brentsopelfoundation.org.

"I only recently got the treatment I needed, and I’m glad I did because it saved my life" - that sentence stopped me in my tracks when I saw Djunah's Instagram feed last week. Donna Diane of Djunah has wrestled with C-PTSD for a long time. She came on Car Con Carne tonight to share her story of treatment, while offering encouragement for others struggling and suffering throughout our chat. We talked about the stigmas that still exist around discussing mental health and suicide, what C-PTSD is and how we can help support people who are struggling. We didn't talk about Djunah's music (much) in this interview. That's a great conversation waiting to be had down the road. #suicide #mentalhealth #cptsd   Car Con Carne is sponsored by C&H Financial Services and Siren Records McHenry
