Episode 6: Shift Happens – Ericc’s Story

What do you get when you mix an artist, a musician, a free spirit, and a long-haul truck driver? You get Ericc Cram—and one unforgettable journey of change.

In this episode of Change Happened, Then What?, host Heather Holt sits down with longtime friend and Vermont-based creative Ericc Cram, whose story unfolds like one of his comics—raw, vivid, and beautifully human. From a childhood in a hostile environment to discovering healing through art, Ericc has always used creativity as his survival tool.

You’ll hear how he shifted—literally and emotionally—from painting walls to driving 18-wheelers across the country. Along the way, Ericc shares how he turned personal trauma into a transformative comic series called Shift, weaving numerology and duality into each character. And now? He’s turning it into a musical for his queer community.

This is a story of reinvention, resilience, and infinite possibility—even in the face of limitation.

Art. Healing. Trucking. Transformation.
