LXN— Lived Experiences Network
Executive Summary
A FAST Channel + Digital Recovery Platform
LXN is a FAST (Free Ad‑Supported Streaming TV) channel and tech‑enabled recovery ecosystem dedicated to addiction recovery, life rebuilding, and health equity.
It is the first FAST network designed as both entertainment and intervention—blending lived‑experience storytelling, expert insight, guided digital recovery, and measurable peer engagement.
No national FAST channel exists for the 50% of Americans touched in some way or other by addiction.
LXN fills this void with a commercially scalable network that positions recovery as strength, culture, and belonging — not stigma.
LXN gives viewers a place to be entertained, inspired, supported, and activated.
Through integrated pathways to Beam — a proprietary digital recovery system developed in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Hochman — viewers can move from watching to measurable change, supported by guided recovery tools and community engagement.

Why Now
Four converging forces make LXN timely and investable:
1. Mental health and recovery content demand is surging across streaming and social channels.
2. Lived‑experience storytellers are becoming trusted messengers, and peer support roles are expanding nationally.
3. FAST channels are scaling rapidly as niche content verticals outperform broad general networks.
4. Opioid abatement funding, digital recovery, and NIH research priorities create new markets for scalable platforms.
Recovery has entered culture — but lacks a home, marketplace, and activation engine.
LXN + Beam becomes that system.

Lean‑Forward Engagement & Beam Integration
LXN is not just a channel — it is an activation funnel.
Every program block includes direct pathways into Beam — a proprietary digital recovery platform built in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Hochman that delivers:
• Personalized guidance
• Skills training
• Clinical insights
• Measurable behavior support
Alongside Beam access, viewers can join -for a small fee- peer‑facilitated groups that extend episodes into belonging, accountability, and growth.
This creates a closed‑loop recovery architecture:
Watch → Engage → Enter Beam → Learn & track → Connect to peers → Sustain change
Beam + peer facilitation gives LXN conversion ability, retention power, and outcome measurement capability uncommon in FAST networks.
Government, Research, and Equity Value Proposition
LXN is structured as both media and measurable health intervention, aligned with NIH, SAMHSA, and opioid settlement priorities.
Together, LXN + Beam + peer communities address the social drivers of addiction, including:
• Housing stability
• Workforce & income
• Legal navigation
• Transportation access
• Parenting burden
• Social isolation
Through content, digital tools, and peer pathways, LXN drives:
• Increased connection
• Improved confidence
• Behavioral activation
• Access to supports
• Quality‑of‑life improvements
Beam provides the tech backbone for measurement, tracking:
• Engagement/adherence
• Self‑report change
• Emotional regulation
• Hope, connection, purpose
• Housing/work/legal progress
• Sustained recovery behaviors (ethically where appropriate)
This infrastructure enables:
• IRB‑approved evaluations
• NIH‑grade data generation
• Health equity piloting
• County/state opioid settlement deployment
LXN becomes the media front door, and Arcsbeam becomes the behavioral health operating system.
