YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter surviving addiction and transforming his life through recovery, Zac Clark set out to build something bigger than himself.
In this episode of Forbes Talks Shop, host Spencer Dukoff sits down with Clark to discuss how his personal journey led to the founding of Release Recovery, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to addiction treatment and long-term recovery resources. Clark shares how lived experience shaped his leadership philosophy, and why purpose has to come before scale.
The conversation explores Clark’s daily routines, the mental frameworks that help him stay grounded, and the habits he relies on to manage stress while leading a mission-driven organization. He opens up about the discipline required to protect sobriety, the importance of community in recovery, and how endurance sports, structure, and consistency play a role in his personal and professional life.
It’s a candid look at what it takes to lead with vulnerability, sustain impact over time, and build a life—and career—rooted in service.
