The Ultimate Assist

On today’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Dave Durocher — a former meth addict, career criminal, and repeat offender who was arrested more than 25 times before one judge gave him a final choice: prison for life… or one last shot at redemption.  What followed transformed not only his life, but thousands of others.Dave shares the raw story of addiction, prison culture, high-speed police chases, gang violence, and the moment everything finally broke. After spending 15 years behind bars and cycling endlessly through the system, he found hope through Delancey Street — a radical rehabilitation model built on accountability, honesty, structure, and truth.  Now, as founder and CEO of The Other Side Academy in Salt Lake City, Dave is helping some of society’s “lost causes” completely rebuild their lives — with astonishing success rates that traditional systems can’t match.  This episode tackles:Why addiction culture may be getting worse, not betterThe failure of modern prison rehabilitationWhy “telling people the truth” matters more than enablingHow accountability transforms behaviorThe difference between punishment and real recoveryWhy The Other Side Academy is being called a national model for reformIt’s a brutally honest conversation about crime, addiction, responsibility, second chances — and what happens when someone finally refuses to give up on you.Support the show

On today’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers welcome back Brianne Dressen — a former clinical trial participant who says she was injured during the COVID vaccine trials… and then erased from the data.  What followed wasn’t just a personal health battle — it became a years-long fight for recognition, accountability, and truth.Brianne breaks down how medical coding systems can determine whether an injury “exists” at all — and why the absence of a specific diagnosis code for vaccine injury has left thousands without proper care, coverage, or acknowledgment.  She explains:Why some countries track vaccine injuries — and the U.S. doesn’tHow patients can be labeled, ignored, or misclassified in the systemThe current push to establish an official diagnosis code — and why it mattersWhat’s happening behind the scenes with compensation programs and liability protectionsThe real-world impact on families still searching for answersBrianne also shares the work being done through React19, including medical grants, research efforts, and emerging treatment progress for those still suffering years later.This is a conversation about data, systems, and the people caught in between — and what it takes to keep pushing when the answers don’t come easily.🎙️ Episode #70 with Brianne Dressen — streaming now.Support the show
