In this episode of The Scary, Sweaty, Sleepy Podcast, Ashley Bates welcomes Douglas Lyons of Clere Consulting for a thought-provoking conversation on the often-overlooked complexities of addiction.
Lyons unpacks the powerful interplay between privilege, prominence, and pressure—and how these forces shape not only the path to addiction but also the journey through recovery. He challenges the idea that addiction exists in a vacuum, instead urging listeners to consider the broader context of social environments, personal circumstances, and expectations.
This episode shines a light on the nuanced realities many face behind closed doors and calls for a more compassionate, individualized approach to treatment and support.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
