On this episode of Life On Shuffle, we’re joined by Ryan Pope, a former professional pitcher within the New York Yankees minor league organization. We explore Ryan’s journey from his early life to his time at SCAD pursuing visual communications, navigating the high-pressure world of professional baseball, and the delicate act of balancing athletics with academics. Ryan opens up about the pivotal moment he left college after being drafted and how he made the transition from the baseball field to the medical field. As he walks us through what his life looks like working as a project manager for Atrium Health, we learn how his career pathway has impacted him, and what advice he gives others that are looking for a career of their own.

This episode is hosted by Laney, Aaliyah, Brodi, Maddie and Josh.
