About this episode

Zac Clark discusses his journey through addiction and recovery, emphasizing the importance of community and service.

Zac Clark is the founder of Release Recovery and a tireless recovery advocate, as well as the winner of The Bachelorette. He totally embodies the principles of recovery and what it means to give back to this community that has saved so many. This conversation gets into the reality of addiction and why, for Zac, recovery is less about willpower than community. We cover: willingness, emotional sobriety, how families get pulled under, the stranger who saved his life, and what running gives him. Zac has helped so many people through direct and consistent service, and it was such privilege to have him on. Enjoy!
