Summary

Jon Gluck is a celebrated writer, editor, and advocate whose two-decade journey with multiple myeloma forms the deeply personal backbone of his memoir, An Exercise in Uncertainty: A Memoir of Illness and Hope. Jon spent ten years as Deputy Editor at New York magazine, later serving as Managing Editor of Vogue, and in 2025 he became a Senior Editor for Fast Company.  Jon’s story is one of perseverance, perspective, and purpose—both as an accomplished editor in the cultural world and as an individual reconciling creativity, caregiving, and chronic illness. In this episode of Anchored, he shares his story… one I’m hoping many of you will find inspiring.
