Brian Cuban: Author, Lawyer, Speaker, Addiction Recovery Advocate
By Jeff Grant
We were thrilled to host Brian Cuban for our December 2024 Tuesday Night Speaker Series.
Brian Cuban is the younger brother of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and the author of The Addicted Lawyer: Tales of the Bar, Booze, Blow, and Redemption. He is a lawyer, author, and speaker who has become one of the most recognized voices on addiction recovery in the legal profession.
Brian shared his personal journey through addiction, legal trouble, and recovery — and the connection between the high-pressure legal and business worlds and substance use. He spoke candidly about what it means to rebuild a sense of identity and purpose after the bottom falls out, and the particular challenges faced by high-achieving individuals who find themselves navigating addiction and legal consequences simultaneously.
His message for WCSG members: recovery is possible, and the community that surrounds that recovery is everything.
