Life is a Ride---Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways

Interview with Dan Schneider from Netflix's "The Pharmacist"

Episode Summary

Dan Schneider is a pharmacist and long-time advocate whose journey to avenge the death of his son – shedding a bright light on the opioid epidemic in the United State in the process – is detailed in the 2020 Netflix docuseries, “The Pharmacist.” Dan's story shows how one person, after suffering a tremendous loss, can find a modicum of healing through the act of trying to save others. Dan's story is nothing short of amazing, and I hope you watch the Netflix series either before or after listening to this interview. Says Dan: “Some people watch things happen. Some people make things happen. And some people say ‘What happened?’” More information on Dan can be found at tunnelofhope.org The Netflix series "The Pharmacist" can be found at https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81002576?s=i&trkid=13747225&vlang=en&clip=81573487 The Netflix series was based on the article in the New Orleans Times Picayune.
