Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

Tyler Ramsey had it all… working on Baywatch, MTV, Survivor, and building a career in Hollywood.

But behind the scenes, he was spiraling.

What started with alcohol turned into Adderall, Xanax, and opiates… leading to blackouts, chaos, and near-death situations.

The moment everything changed?

His young daughter found his drugs.

That was the line.

In this episode, Tyler breaks down:


Growing up with trauma and loss


Hollywood success while secretly addicted


The moment addiction took full control


The terrifying wake-up call involving his daughter


The ultimatum that saved his life


How he rebuilt everything and found real sobriety

This is one of the most honest conversations about addiction, consequences, and what it really takes to change.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone.

Ryan Moyer had a key to a pharmacy… and one night, he used it to steal the entire narcotics closet.

What started with prescription pills turned into a full-blown heroin addiction, multiple arrests, federal charges, and living in trap houses just to survive. He was running scams, stealing cars, and doing whatever it took to get his next fix.

But that wasn’t the end of his story.

After hitting rock bottom, Ryan made a decision that changed everything. Today, he’s over 5 years sober and has built a successful business as “The Tesla Doctor,” working on high-end vehicles and rebuilding his life from the ground up.

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about addiction, crime, consequences, and what it really takes to turn your life around.

If this story helps even one person, it was worth it.

Graham Reid was living a double life.

What started with pills and partying quickly turned into a full-blown opiate addiction — smoking 30s, chasing dealers, and doing whatever it took to not get sick.

From fentanyl and heroin to brutal detox and multiple failed attempts at getting clean, Graham shares what addiction really looks like behind closed doors.

In this episode, he opens up about:


Getting hooked on opiates


The moment everything spiraled


Living as a “functional” addict
