This week on Drinks with the DINKs, Ryan opens up about the story that shaped his entire life. From losing his mother to murder at just two years old, to the heartbreaking loss of his grandfather only a couple years later, this episode dives into the grief, confusion, and unanswered questions that followed him through childhood.

But the story doesn’t stop there. At 19 years old, Ryan discovered that much of what he believed about his life and family wasn’t true. A completely unknown side of his family suddenly emerged, leading to shocking revelations, hidden connections, and the uncovering of clues about the father and relatives he never knew existed.

This is one of the most raw and emotional conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast — touching on identity, family secrets, loss, resilience, and what it feels like to piece together a life story years after it was written for you.
