“I Came Out at 42, Married, With Kids” – A Founder’s Journey to the Other Side of Fear | Alon Ozery
There are moments in life when the truth stops waiting patiently. It asks to be lived, even when doing so puts everything you’ve built at risk.
In this conversation, I sit down with Alon Ozery to talk about what it means to come out later in life while married with children. Alon shares the years of denial, the quiet fear of losing his family, and the moment when staying hidden became no longer possible. What stands out is not just the courage it took to tell the truth, but the relief that followed once he did.
Alon is an entrepreneur, former co-CEO of a successful North American bakery, author of Even the Sidewalk Could Tell, and now an energy guide and coach. We explore how coming out at 42 reshaped his relationship with his kids, his sense of leadership, his connection to money, and his willingness to live in alignment with who he actually is. This episode is an honest look at what opens up when identity comes forward and life reorganizes around truth.
