#109: CORY RICHARDS

HANGS UP HIS HARNESS, PICKS UP A PEN.

Cory Richards’ new book is “The Color of Everything: A Journey to Quiet the Chaos Within”. And, for real, it’s a helluva read. But before he could write such a powerful work, the man had to have some experiences. In episode #109 of Nice Work, Cory shares his personal struggles with bipolar disorder and how it has impacted, well, just about everything he’s done, touched, loved, and undertaken. Cory shares hard-won insights into the complexities of finding validation and connection in pursuits like mountaineering, writing, and photography. This is an instant classic episode of ‘Nice Work’ and well-deserves your earballs. xoxox.
