On this episode of Real Talks on the Rocks, I sit down with Tom Wolf, a returning guest who is also a drug recovery advocate. Tom talks about his battle agains the homelessness and drug/fentanyl epidemic in San Francisco and what most ordinary citizens don't realize about what happens on the streets.
Tom speaks from his own personal experience being homeless and addicted to opiates about how ordinary people can help to make the changes that San Francisco needs!
