Try Guy's Zack Kornfeld: "My Life Is Dope And I Have OCD"

Before Zach Kornfeld was one of the Try Guys — before millions knew his name — he was a kid quietly fighting battles in his own mind. With no words for what was happening, he just knew something felt off. A drawer left slightly open, a railing brushing the wrong arm, and his whole body would spark with discomfort. He didn’t know it was OCD yet. And when he finally found a name for it, it didn’t come with a map. Just more questions, more trial and error, and a long road toward learning how to live with it.

Now he’s a full-time creator running a media company, making people laugh, and still closing drawers behind coworkers. Not because he’s cured. Not because the thoughts are gone. But because he’s figured out how to live with the disorder. As he told us on this episode of the Get to know OCD podcast, "my life is dope as hell and I have OCD."
