I had such an honest and moving conversation with Richard Blair, founder and CEO of ALYST Health, who has been shaping the recovery world for over two decades.

We talked about his early struggles, what it took to finally embrace sobriety, and how he turned those lessons into building one of the most respected recovery services in the world.

His story is proof that you don’t need to hit rock bottom to change your life. Sometimes all it takes is a sliver of willingness and a “maybe this could work.”

Richard shares the funny, raw, and deeply human side of getting sober at 21, why community mattered more than anything, and how grace, structure, and persistence shaped his path.

Whether you’re sober curious or years into recovery, this episode is full of wisdom, laughter, and reminders that growth is possible for all of us. Here are the highlights:
