Sobriety, Loss, and UNBLOCKED Creativity: Finding Clarity in Career Paths and Career Pivots

Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories, too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else.In our very first guest episode of the UNBLOCK Yourself Podcast, we sit down with Bob Mathers. He is a keynote speaker, customer success coach, podcast host, and (self-proclaimed) part-time rock god. Bob knows firsthand what it feels like to be blocked. He spent years living on autopilot, chasing success, and still feeling disconnected from what actually mattered.It took a series of wake-up calls, from personal loss to getting sober to a terrifying health scare with his son, to shake him into living intentionally.In this conversation, Bob shares:How "success" can sometimes hide deep disconnectionThe truth about sobriety, the good, the hard, and the surprisingWhy creativity and curiosity are critical tools for living with purposeHow a personal crisis can become a catalyst for transformationOne piece of advice we have not been able to stop thinking aboutThis is a real and raw conversation about what it takes to stop letting life happen to you and start living with intention, creativity, and heart.If this conversation resonates, we'd love it if you'd subscribe, share with a friend, or leave a review to help more people get UNBLOCKED and start living and working with intention.Links & ResourcesThe Growth Mixtape PodcastBob Mathers on LinkedInMorning Pages Rick Rubin: The Creative ActDavid Goggins: The Cookie Jar We’d love to connect with you.
