Doug Ballinger lost his son Logan to fentanyl. There was no rhyme, no reason, no rationale... It was simply tragic. What makes it worse is the fact that it was preventable. While the government goes back and forth doing nothing to stop this crisis, families will continue to have to endure these horrifying losses. Doug made a choice to stand up, confront his pain, and this problem, and advocate for something to improve, somewhere. This is his story... no... this is Logan's story, and this is Logan's Dad. Listen now.

Noah is the host of the lethal venom, a podcast centered around various topics where he speaks nothing but the truth. He is also an Auburn University Alum with a bachelor's degree in journalism. Today, Noah is here to share his life story and how his past has made him the person he is now. In his own words:

"Working for my future goals has not been easy. I have dealt with mental health struggles since I was 13. I have had an everlasting battle with depression and anxiety. I contemplated on taking my own life and almost ended up in a hospital. I was seen as an outcast by my fellow peers. Always thought I wasn't good enough.
Now, I am the host of 3 podcasts. Learning from my past mistakes, I have taken what I have experienced and encountered and have now become an open voice for people dealing with similar situations." Listen now.
