DetoxPod34: Jonny Boucher

Published: Nov. 18, 2020, 9:20 a.m.

Jonny Boucher is the founder of Hope for the Day (HFTD), a Chicago-based suicide prevention and mental health awareness organization. He also co-founded Sip of Hope, a coffee shop that donates all of its proceeds to the cause of mental health. Jonny began his career as a concert promoter (while still in high school!) before re-directing his focus to helping others (still with a musical alignment-bands like Beartooth and Mastodon have supported the cause). In this wide ranging discussion, Jonny discusses his own path towards healthier living, his refusal to be a suit-and-tie guy, and getting an acknowledgment from President Barack Obama.
