Kevin Lanning's DARK Journey From STAR Athlete To Opiate Addict

Ross sits down with Kevin Lanning, the rising podcaster behind Rise Above with Kevin, a show dedicated to sharing stories of addiction and sobriety. Kevin’s motivation to help others comes from his own deeply personal experience—a journey of success, downfall, and redemption.Once a star college athlete with a bright future, Kevin’s life took a drastic turn after an injury led to a prescription for opiates. What started as pain management quickly spiraled into full-blown addiction. He found himself doctor shopping, orchestrating a scam at his university that led to defrauding the school out of over $200,000, and diving into a world of gambling, crime, and close calls with the law. The chaos ultimately cost him his education, his marriage, and nearly his freedom. But after more than a decade of struggle, Kevin turned his life around and is now celebrating seven years of sobriety. In this powerful conversation, he shares his story of hitting rock bottom, finding purpose, and using his experiences to inspire others. Ross on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rossmandell/Get The Wealth Formula - training.rossmandell.com Kevin Lanning on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/riseabovewithkevin/Thanks for listening!
