Saving Lives With Logan Paul & Kevin Hines!There are some conversations that hit deeper than words can explain.Today, I sat down once again with one of my dearest friends, a man I truly consider a brother, the one and only Logan Paul.Together, we revisited what’s been one of the most impactful collaborations of my life. Years ago, Logan and I came together to tell a story that mattered, one rooted in pain, redemption, and the fight to stay alive. The Be Here Tomorrow Video (With Over 30Million views) That collaboration didn’t just spark awareness… it saved lives.Hundreds of people have written to us over the years to say that our videos, our conversations, stopped them from taking their lives. That’s the ripple effect of honesty, empathy, and redemption. It’s proof that when you tell the truth, when you show the hard parts, healing happens.And now… we’re taking that mission to a whole new level.🎬 The official trailer for our forthcoming film “Death Bridge” launches today at https://www.DeathBridge.Film and across all social platforms.This film dives deep into the human toll of suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge not only the thousands of lives lost there, but the ripple effect of pain and perseverance carried by the people left behind.It’s about the ironworkers who’ve seen what no one should ever see.The Coast Guard who’ve pulled too many from the water.The Bridge Patrol officers who fight every single day to save one more life.And the families whose worlds were forever changed in the shadow of that red span.“Death Bridge” is more than a film, it’s a movement. A powerful, heart-wrenching, world-changing call to action. It’s about building nets and railings at icons for suicide all around the globe, so that no other landmark ever becomes a symbol of despair again.This story will move mountains. It will save lives.And it will show the world that hope can rise even from the darkest waters.🙏 A special thank you to BridgeRail.net, founded by my father Patrick Hines, alongside Dave Hull and Paul Muller, for dedicating their lives to building the very nets that now protect others from the same fate I once faced.Because of our combined work, and the countless advocates, survivors, and allies who’ve stood with us, we are proving that change is possible.Hope is real.Lives can be saved.And together, we can build bridges not to death, but to life.#BeHereTomorrow #DeathBridge #KevinHinesStory #LoganPaul #GoldenGateBridge #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #HopeNation #BridgeRailFoundation #FilmForChange

HINESIGHTS Podcast — Dr. John Gibson: Cameron’s Legacy, Hope in Action

Content note: suicide loss, survival, and recovery.

In this deeply personal, compassionate conversation, I sit down with Dr. John Gibson, father of Cameron, who died by suicide. John and his wife have transformed unimaginable grief into life-saving purpose through The Canmore Trust, a UK charity funding lived-experience education, compassionate training, and safer systems of care. Please visit and support their work: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.uk

John shares a moment that changed both of our lives. He was sitting in a seminar at the International Association for Suicide Prevention Congress in Vienna, Austria when I walked in. He recognized me and whispered, “This is Kevin Hines,” and he began to cry. Some time earlier, during his own darkest hour after losing Cameron, John had found a YouTube clip of me describing my instant regret the millisecond I leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge. That message cut across his suicidal thinking—and stopped him from taking his life.

After that, John picked up my second memoir, The Art of Being Broken. He told me he read it in four hours flat, and in those pages he discovered the power of narrative—that telling your story can save other lives. He felt a spiritual calling to speak Cameron’s name, share their family’s journey, and move hope into action. Today, through The Canmore Trust and his courageous testimony, Cameron’s story is saving lives.

If you’ve lost someone, if you’re supporting a loved one, or if you’re carrying your own pain, I hope this episode meets you with gentleness and strength. Please listen, share it forward, and consider supporting The Canmore Trust: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.uk
