Ryan Walker is a friend and the Executive Director at Pioneer Ridge Independent Living. He is an active member of Morning Soccer Pickup (MSP) and a fan of people, cinema, and chicken pot pie.

We live in an increasingly isolated world and Ryan is a great example of someone who is bucking that trend. With an analytical approach, he reverse engineered what he needed in his life and the answer was community. He showcases curiosity and intrigue with the people around him (which is one of my favorite traits that humans have).

Community matters, and it has leveled up his life just like so many others'. This was a super fun episode. We laughed, theorized, and even came up with some pretty good conclusions regarding AI's impact on human interaction.

In this episode we talk about:

• the power of self-deprecating humor
• why you should use the triple filter test
• one indicator for a happy relationship
• what to do when you feel burdened by curiosity
• the moment Ryan decided to find community
• the power of critical thinking
• what we would do if we met Messi
• how to respond to apathy from others
• AI's impact on building relationships
• where we see technology impacting our social world in 10 years.

Thanks for listening. You rock more than granite or limestone!
