Announcing Smart Start’s Podcast: Stigma-Free IID, Life After a DUI

Smart Start is thrilled to share the launch of our new podcast, Stigma-Free IID, Life After a DUI! As a trusted provider of Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) and alcohol monitoring solutions for over 30 years, we understand the emotional, legal, and personal challenges that follow a DUI. Stigma-Free IID is our way of starting a conversation focused on education, support, and moving forward without judgment.

Whether you’re navigating a DUI or Interlock requirement yourself, supporting a friend or family member, or you just want to understand the process better, Stigma-Free IID aims to offer real talk, real stories, and real solutions.

What Can I Expect?

In each 15-30 minute episode, our co-hosts Morgan Ryan and Izzy Varela dive into the realities of life after a DUI, without the guilt or fear. You’ll hear a mix of expert insights, honest Q&As, and firsthand stories from people who’ve been there. You can look forward to:

• New episodes bi-weekly, airing on Tuesday mornings
• Featured guest speakers from relevant fields
• Q&A from you, our listeners!
• Tips, tools, and encouragement for regaining your independence

Our goal is simple: to be a compassionate resource that helps people rebuild their lives through trusted alcohol monitoring solutions, and to remove the stigma around IIDs.
