    shatters stigma and is a mythbuster in the mental health community. Kody’s

    recovery, mental health issues, and life after incarceration. He is the co-host of
    Unseen and Unheard Podcast and a popular YouTube Channel about mental
    illness. He chooses to pursue motivational speaking and mental health advocacy
