Jed Rhein

Founder

Jed Rhein, a Los Angeles native, began his acting career at four years old. After twenty-six successful years, he transitioned to producing at thirty. Alongside his career success, he faced addiction, leading to a profound spiritual transformation. Sober since his thirties, Jed found his true purpose in helping others recover from alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately, overdose is a frequent and tragic part of this journey.

While recovery isn't necessary for everyone using drugs, no one is safe from fentanyl-laced substances, particularly experimenting youth. The fentanyl crisis has drastically escalated overdose rates, causing widespread horror. Jed founded Life of the Party to leverage harm reduction tools and prevent senseless deaths.
