Jeff Johnston has experienced compound loss, first his 23-year-old son to fentanyl poisoning in 2016, and now most recently his wife of 21 years, to addiction. But Jeff is “Living Undeterred,” by loss, doing what he can to change the narrative in this country when it comes to mental health, overdose, and addiction. Jeff is launching the “Living Undeterred” tour this spring, where he hopes to raise awareness and bring people together all working toward a common goal. Emily’s Hope has joined forces as the South Dakota partner for the cross-country tour. Jeff has written a book, This One’s For You. He also writes a blog and hosts the Living Undeterred podcast.
