Beskrivelse

Welcome to The Joe Mullins Show — celebrating the vibrant spirit of Florida, America's innovators, and the absolute best place to live, work, shop, and play! Hosted by county commissioner, entrepreneur, and 14-year recovery warrior Joe Mullins. In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode, Joe sits down with one of the most forward-thinking sheriffs in the country: Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma. Forget the old stereotypes — this isn't just about locking people up. It's about saving lives. Joe shares his own jaw-dropping journey: two degrees, a master's, a prominent medical family, gated-community life... and a brutal spiral into cocaine, vodka, Klonopin, Ambien, Vicodin, and an eight-ball-a-day habit that almost killed him. Doctors kept prescribing more pills instead of real help. Sound familiar? Sheriff Lemma flips the script: "This isn't about making bad people good — it's about making sick people well." He breaks down the science (hello, amygdala hijacking!), the Big Pharma role, the shift to fentanyl cartels, and how his team pioneered jail-based medical treatment + cognitive therapy — so successful, inmates begged to stay longer to finish the program! They dive into game-changing Florida laws (murder charges for dealers, protections near rehab centers), partnerships with AdventHealth, Project Overdose, Victoria's Voice Foundation, and why empathy + accountability is crushing overdose deaths in Seminole County. If you've ever wondered: * Why "Just Say No" doesn't work once addiction starts * How addiction hijacks even the most "put-together" brains * What real recovery looks like behind bars (and why it's saving taxpayer dollars) * How families can stop hiding the disease and start healing... This episode is your wake-up call. Raw stories, hard truths, hope, and actionable steps to fight back. Listeners: If you're struggling, reach out. There's help. There's hope. Contact the Seminole County Sheriff's Office or local resources — don't hide in the dark. Subscribe for more inspiring Florida stories, bold conversations, and freedom advocacy. Like, comment your thoughts, and share if this hits home — someone needs to hear it.

The Joe Mullins Show - Florida CFO EXPOSES Government Waste — “Follow the Money” Behind Rising Taxes

Welcome to The Joe Mullins Show – Live, Work, Shop, Play, where we break down why Florida continues to lead as the model state in America. In this powerful episode, Joe Mullins sits down with Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia to uncover what’s really happening behind rising taxes, government budgets, and local spending across the state. From overseeing billions in taxpayer dollars to leading financial crime investigations and disaster response, Florida’s CFO role is far more than just accounting — it’s about accountability. Blaise dives deep into how local governments are increasing spending, building massive reserves, and quietly raising taxes without voters realizing it. This conversation pulls back the curtain on: * How property taxes are really increasing (even when rates stay the same) * The truth about government reserve funds and “slush funds” * How COVID-era funding led to long-term spending problems * Why affordability in Florida is directly tied to government growth * The role of audits, law enforcement, and financial oversight in protecting taxpayers Beyond the numbers, this episode highlights a bigger mission: fighting for transparency, accountability, and the everyday taxpayer. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or Florida resident trying to understand where your money is going — this is a must-watch conversation. 👉 Subscribe for more real conversations about Florida, business, policy, and what makes this state the best place to live, work, shop, and play. #JoeMullinsShow #FloridaCFO #GovernmentSpending #TaxpayerRights #PropertyTaxes #FloridaPolitics #Accountability #FollowTheMoney #GovernmentWaste #FiscalResponsibility #FloridaLife #PublicPolicy #LocalGovernment #AffordabilityCrisis #EconomicFreedom #LiveWorkShopPlay #FloridaEconomy #Transparency #TaxReform See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
