In this episode, Louis dives deep into the incredible and shocking true story of Kevin Lanning—a man who once orchestrated a massive $200,000 scam at a college bookstore to feed his insatiable Oxycontin addiction. Kevin’s desperate need to fund his habit led him to manipulate the system and con his way into stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a trusted institution. But the scam wasn’t his only crime. Kevin was also involved in trafficking prescription pills, using corrupt doctors and pain clinics to illegally obtain and sell Oxycontin, all while spiraling deeper into addiction. As Kevin’s story unfolds, we uncover the dangerous world of prescription pill trafficking, and the lengths some will go to when addiction takes over their lives.

Kevin’s actions not only affected the college bookstore but also put countless lives at risk through the distribution of illicit drugs. His descent into addiction was all-consuming, and the impact of his choices would haunt him for years. However, Kevin’s story doesn’t end there. Today, he is a completely transformed man, having been sober for 7 years. After hitting rock bottom, Kevin made the difficult but life-changing decision to turn his life around. With determination, support, and hard work, he overcame his addiction and turned his past mistakes into a powerful story of recovery.

Now, Kevin is using his platform as a social media influencer to share his journey, raise awareness about addiction, and inspire others who are struggling to seek help and make a change. In this video, Kevin opens up about the darkest moments of his life—his addiction, his criminal activities, and the pain he caused to those around him. But he also shares the path to recovery, the lessons he learned, and the daily challenges he faces as he continues on his journey of sobriety.
