Join us for an inspiring conversation with special guest Benjamin Lerner, a Vermont-based Rapper, Composer, Writer, Recovery Advocate, Radio Host, and Viral Content Creator.
Benjamin Lerner, the Great-grandson of Irving Berlin (composer of such iconic tunes as “God Bless America” and “White Christmas”), began his musical career as a classical piano prodigy. By his early twenties, he was an IV fentanyl, heroin, and crack cocaine addict. Now sober since June 13, 2016, Benjamin journals his journey in addiction and sobriety through his music to tell powerful stories of healing and recovery.
His latest EPs, KEEP MOVING FORWARD (2024) and RUN TOWARDS THE TRUTH (2025), reflect the mantra from his long-running column, CLEAN:
“Keep moving forward.
Run towards the truth.
Don’t quit before the miracle happens.”
