Comeback Stories

On this episode of Comeback Stories, Darren & Donny catch up once again with Zac Clark, star of ABC's The Bachelorette & founder of Release Recovery. Zac begins by explaining how a new year can be an opportunity to reset priorities and center yourself around areas of growth. He talks about the full spectrum of relationships, and applying principles of close connections to even people seeking autographs or selfies with him.

Zac talks about being real and opening up on The Bachelorette, and how he became well conditioned to break himself down after therapy. He then describes the art of "The Comeback" and how we all make mistakes, but the beauty lies within the opportunities we have to embrace those mistakes and bounce back better.
