On this episode of Always a Raven, host Janelle Menz sits down with Ryan Lobb, class of 2020, for a powerful conversation about the impact of community and resilience. Ryan shares his journey to sobriety, which began during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and reflects on the transformative support he received from the Benedictine community — from faculty mentors to fellow students and co-workers.

He also discusses his path after graduation, earning an MBA, navigating his career, and ultimately pursuing a calling in addiction counseling to help others. Through his story, Ryan shows how challenges, faith, and community can inspire personal growth and a commitment to pay it forward.

Join us to hear a story of perseverance, purpose, and the enduring power of Benedictine College.
