Renaissance man Ian Brennan talks about his journey from working in psychiatric facilities to becoming a violence prevention/conflict resolution specialist. The Grammy award winning music producer shares his experiences about working in African prisons and how his methods are now widely used by health professionals.
He is an author as well. Most recently, he published his novella, “Sister Maple Syrup Eyes,” inspired by his own life-altering experience with rape. The work was 25+ years in the making, and provides a great platform for discussions about sexual violence.
Mr. Brennan is also the author of “Anger Antidotes” and “Hate-less.” His book on music theory, “How Music Dies (or Lives): Field-recording and the battle for democracy in the arts” is currently available on Amazon. Click through on the Amazon Banner at Drdrew.com.
