Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

Kevin Lanning

Booking Overview

This is a recovery-focused interview show centered on addiction, trauma, anxiety, mental health, and resilience, typically featuring people who share firsthand recovery stories alongside advocates and qualified professionals. A PR agency could credibly pitch clients with sustained sobriety, lived experience of trauma or addiction, recovery advocacy, counseling or treatment expertise, or a compelling public comeback story; booking difficulty is medium because strong personal credibility and an emotionally compelling narrative are important, though the show is not limited to elite celebrities.

He talks openly about it all: getting paid in OxyContin through a shady deal at the lacrosse shop he managed, driving eigh...

Holly Hiles has six years of sobriety and a story that’s almost hard to believe. Growing up she bounced through twelve schools, leaned on her twin brother, and lost her footing at fourteen when she got pulled off her cheer squad and fell in with a rougher crowd.
