This is a Ryan EXCLUSIVE. Toon-in for a deeep analysis on success. What it means to me? What it means to us? And I prompt viewpoints that may convert the dominating pressure of success to clear our psyches by re-defining our worldview.

Erik and I are on for next week. You'll hear from US then!

WELLNESS CHECK. 
So we are not back, but Ryan checks in with all y'all on this beautiful HUMP DAY.  Erik and Ryan feel run-down, and may be trying too much, so we've taken a break. But not all is lost, during our break we've been cooking-up some new options for the show. 

Hello beautiful PEOPLE,

It's me again, Erik to talk your ear off. I was actually awake for this one as compared to the last so I think the conversation with myself flowed a bit better and should be more listenable. I think there are some key moments where I touched on subjects I care about and feelings of the world that matter to me. I hope you can all get something out of it. It's just some words to send out into the universe. Take it or leave it, they are here for your consumption.

So much love, make sure to smile at someone today!! :p

Reading List:

"There is no Antimemetics Division"
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/54870256-there-is-no-antimemetics-division

- I am halfway through and it is wonderful. Crazy twists and terms. A very unique concept and a book I would never have encountered if it hadn't been suggested to me by my lovely cousin Mike Pizz. So here you go.

Podcast to listen to:

Tangentially Speaking (with Christopher Ryan)
https://chrisryan.substack.com/p/530-kevin-allison-host-of-risk-podcast#details

- This conversation is with Kevin Allison a host of his own podcast, Risk!, it is magically comfortable and comical. Also comes with some very interesting stories. Worth a listen.

Bye for now!

Hello everybody,

This episode is just Erik, hello peeps and gals, and ladies. It is a brain foggy day, but we came and we went. He discusses topics from staying in touch with loved ones to todays struggles, believing in something, and ends with some updates. It may be slow at times and seem like there is no point. And sometimes there isn't, thats what a good rant is for. So sit tight and let it all soak in!

Love far and wide, to the farthest corners of existence. Stay up.

Hello lovely listeners. We are back with another log jammer of an episode! We get into it, talking first about my new move to Oakland and some dirty lakes then quickly transition into some more broad topics around productivity and fulfilling work. We end with one of our patented questions and fail to stick to a shorter episode as is typically the case with us. We hope you enjoy your listen as always. Thank you to our loyal fans and welcome those who are newer to the community!!

Welcome back to your weekly podcast with Erik and myself, Ryan. This episode has hints of calculated risk and genuity. Eriks talks music career goals. As I reflect it’s quite a crazy jump; how many people do you know have quit their career for something brand new? Shout out to Ammie. He speaks on his plans to become a stage performer and meet in the Oakland music scene.

We dive into concepts presented in the book Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks: how to tell a casual, yet touching story, and how storytelling relates to being a generous conversationalist. We talk about the feeling of choosing an organic career and finish with a Rose, Bud, Thorn! Please enjoy.

This week Ryan shares his thoughts on abortion in America.

You may ask, possibly out of frustration, "What in the heck does Ryan know about abortion?" And to tell you the truth... not much.

But during the next forty minutes he will tell you which systems could help tighten the political divide, and that's the best he can do. TRIGGER warning! So tune the heck in to consume Ryan’s promotion of his ideology on a balanced abortion approach. 

Uniquely Ryan.

A short with a singular host.

Uniquely Ryan.

First off, one must consider the state at which Mark Wahlberg is so fricken catholic! Ryan flirts with giving a new friend COVID, while playing stiff defensive basketball. We discuss the best and worst rap concerts we've each been a part of, which brings Ryan to his enlightening, yet homosexual, moment with Vince staples, and Erik to reflect on OPTIMAL clothing trends - khakis and no shirt... Hash vs hashish, loads of media suggestions, all while fighting the urge of dropping into the depths of idiocracy! 

Simple plans create momentous victories.

Hello, all the lovely listeners that are so kind to return week after week. We are still working hard to make a quality product that is worth listening to. So thank you, from the bottom of both of our hearts. If we had zero listens we probably wouldn't keep doing this. But that being said we enjoy the time we spend together and hope to hear from more listeners so we can better our product and have more audience engagement. We plan on beginning our journey into interviewing and simply bringing guests onto the podcast. Maybe this will open our space to even more people and bring in new thoughts and ideas. I know we both have a lot to say and will most likely continue to, but a new perspective is always healthy and welcome. 

In today's podcast, we talk a lot about nursing. We talk about hospitals. We talk about doctors in the metaverse. Virtual reality. We talk about a short documentary on youtube that was watched recently. We talk guitar. We talk about the social media algorithm. 

That is all. We love you and enjoy the pod!!
