In this episode of the Can You Feel? So now podcast, host Justin Barton sits down with Ryan Sanford, a newly returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ryan shares his remarkable journey from growing up in a musical family in Kansas City to discovering new interests in business and entrepreneurship, which eventually led him to join the LDS Church. He opens up about his mission experience in the Texas Houston South Mission, detailing his conversion story, the spiritual lessons he learned, and how pivotal moments and people influenced his path. Ryan reflects on his ups and downs, the importance of daily spiritual practices, and his ambitious plans to merge his business success with building the Kingdom of God. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about faith, resilience, and intentional living.
