    Forest Stories Episode Eighty The Beekeeper's Honey
    Jun 7 2025
    Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

  • The Daily Mess Do Weekends Still Exist Plus Have We Stopped Asking Questions

    The Daily Mess Do Weekends Still Exist Plus Have We Stopped Asking Questions
    Jun 7 2025
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Do weekends still exist? Is it still about Saturday and Sunday? Plus…why have people stopped asking questions? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

  • When You Know In Your Gut It's Time To Speak Up False Claims From Lisa Pratta

    When You Know In Your Gut It's Time To Speak Up False Claims From Lisa Pratta
    Jun 7 2025
    For the first time, Lisa Pratta shares her story of going undercover as a whistleblower at a Big Pharma company and standing up to systemic corruption, greed, and harassment-all while caring for her special needs son as a single mother.
    When Lisa Pratta started her career as a pharmaceutical sales representative, she had no idea of the industry's depravity, and the endemic sexual harassment, bribery, and fraud she witnessed only got worse over time.
    Lisa hoped that might all change when she landed her dream job with a small company called Questcor which sold a drug that, when prescribed correctly, could help patients with multiple sclerosis. Yet Questcor realized they could make more money prescribing the drug incorrectly. While the FDA had approved the drug for two- to three-week treatments, Questcor was training, encouraging, and incentivizing its sales force to push a five-day treatment plan not backed by any science-and arbitrarily increased the drug's price to $28,000 for a single vial.
    Pratta recognized this as being not only dangerous for patients, but also highly illegal. As the single mother of a special-needs son, Lisa couldn't risk losing her job-but her moral compass also wouldn't allow her to stay silent.
    Thus began her double life as a whistleblower. For nearly a decade she clandestinely fed information to the Department of Justice. Resisting internal pressure to succumb to Questcor's illegal sales tactics, she was constantly harassed by supervisors and in danger of being fired, while the government offered her no protection in the event her betrayal was discovered.
    This incredible story offers an insider's look at the unscrupulous sales methods used by America's corrupt pharmaceutical industry, analyzes the levers they pull to extract ludicrous profits from the sick and dying, and is a page-turning portrait of one woman's epic fight against Big Pharma and a mother's heroic struggle to protect her family.
