In Episode 26 of Dopenly Honest (Breaking the Chains of Addiction), host Zavian Dre and podcast producer Russell Chapa (founder of BuyRide Productions) mark a major milestone: one full year and 26 episodes in the books!
In this special "State of the Podcast" anniversary episode, Zavian and Russ pull back the curtain on how Dopenly Honest began as a simple thought and grew into a powerful community platform. Russ shares his perspective as a musician and producer, his own early brush with cannabis at age 11 in Waco, Texas, and what it’s like witnessing the impact of Zavian's journey firsthand.
If you or someone you love is struggling, don’t wait. Reach out. You are not alone. Not ever.
