Show Notes:
A college party with no alcohol? This wasn’t something we experienced, and my goodness how cool is it that today’s guest and idea in college have turned into his mission. Jake White is here sharing how his experience watching his uncle struggle with alcohol abuse growing up impacted his own choices to avoid it, and how he started having parties in college showing how much fun you could have showing up as yourself without any mind altering substances. What started at his college, has turned into making an impact at college parties and school assemblies all over the country. As people who love to have fun, we can appreciate that Jake and the drug and alcohol prevention he does leads with fun, not fear tactics, so he can show teens and college students that there is another way.
