Twenty-five year old Kale Moth tells his story of being swept away by life on an oil rig at the ripe old age of 18. With guest co-host Trevor Botkin, Kale explores what he thought it meant to be a man, and how his commitment to self and family rapidly deteriorated with the introduction of harder drugs that can be commonplace in the oil and gas industry.
Kale's deterioration led to loss of employment, and eventually loss of housing. In 2018 Kale remembers sitting in the McDonald's he frequented for free wifi, and getting the shocking news that his cousin, Cody, had passed away from drug poisoning. Eventually the Cody Anders Memorial Scholarship was established to help fund others access treatment, and Kale become the first recipient of the scholarship in his cousin's name.
As Kale began to reconstruct his life with meaning, he realized that it was important for him to contribute back to the guys in the oil and gas industry. In place of other dealings that had previously been associated with Kale, he adopted the label of "Hope Dealer", emphasizing his acronym for HOPE: Hold on! Pain ends.
Watch for another upcoming episode on the oil and gas industry featuring Kale and Trevor on Off the Clock Toolbox Talk.
