Tomorrow on 🎙️ Clear Conversations: Creative Minds in Sobriety

Joining us this week is Cory Gerlach — Harvard PhD, former federal scientist, Substack writer, and currently sailing the world from a 31-foot boat in Guatemala. Eighteen years sober. Still in the middle of the experiment.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What it actually looks like to walk away from a stable career and start over

• How sobriety shaped his ability to navigate radical uncertainty

• Why he documents his transition in real time, outcomes still unknown

• The difference between comfort and safety, and why that distinction changes everything

• What creative work looks like when you're building it from a place of clarity

Cory writes Radical Paths on Substack and works 1:1 with people navigating major life transitions.

This one's worth your time.
