For Tellurian Behavioral Health CEO Kevin Florek, helping those in crisis is in his blood. Started by his uncle in the 1970s, Tellurian was a response to the addiction and mental health issues that Vietnam veterans faced after returning home from the war.

Tellurian has since expanded across the entire state of Wisconsin to serve 9,000+ people annually. This week, Kevin & Charlie discuss government underfunding for addiction treatment, the dangers of unregulated substances like Delta 8, and more.
