Cory Gerlach is a writer and ocean sailor currently living on a sailboat in Guatemala. With a Harvard PhD in biomedical science and years of government work, he decided to pivot towards a life filled with self-discovery.
He wasn't a sailor when he started. In fact, Cory Gerlach was on a successful path in a stable, government job. But 10 years in, his question was not just about his career choices, but about redefining success and embracing an adventurous life.
He wanted to live a life aligned with his values. And he knew it wouldn't be easy.
In this episode, we’ll explore Cory’s journey from a secure federal job to sailing across the seas, uncovering insights on courage, resilience, and the beauty of living authentically.
He shares how he planned his exit ramp, what went wrong, and how he's resiliant because he expects things to be hard.
His essays on Substack, ”Radical Paths,” explore the challenges and joys of living a life true to oneself.
