Comics to Cocktails: Nerding Out with Cory De La Guardia

Comic book writer, podcaster, and lifelong nerd Cory De La Guardia joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, confidence, and carving your own lane. Cory takes us through his journey from growing up unapologetically nerdy in a time when it wasn’t cool, to walking away from a full-ride aerospace engineering path to chase storytelling instead. We talk about how comic books shaped his childhood, how podcasting opened doors he never expected, and why sometimes the smartest move is betting on yourself when it doesn’t make sense on paper. Cory also breaks down how he got into writing comics, the hard lessons of self-publishing, and the inspiration behind his series Another Day at the Office and Department of Metahuman Affairs.You can find his podcast Nerd Thug Radio Here.Want to be a guest on Drink O’Clock?
