WHOA DAD! GO DAD! - Episode 15: Featuring Ryan Bramwell
Welcome to Episode Fifteen with Ryan Bramwell.
(Ryan’s Dad Stats: Son - 8 Years Old)
"My son gets to see this, and I communicate to him, you know, sometimes our children sometimes think that daddy is the greatest, and he can do no wrong. But I tell him, no, there's a lot of hard work. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm learning."
Over a decade ago, Ryan and I were both in the bustling creative community in the RiNo Arts District of Denver. Ryan’s creative agency and my team at Postmodern shared some real estate, so we’d see each other often. Ryan also hosted The Sauce Society with our fellow Denver creative Julie Morrandez , which brought the creative community together for happy hours.
I watched Ryan build a successful agency over the years and then one day realized he’d moved to Steamboat Springs with his family, to reset, to be close to nature, and to uncover his next endeavors. This was coupled with the passing of his brother, and prompted a massive healing and growth journey for Ryan.
I’m honored he sat down to share his story with us. As a new father myself, hearing Ryan’s story just has me wondering how much courage and conviction it must take to start a new life, and to be very intentional with the one life we have.
My friend Ryan now is building various brands and products, with one of his recent endeavors being MilkXWhiskey, which is an outdoor family brand. Ryan has developed this rad, rugged and sleek adventure diaper bag and sun protective clothing for both the kiddos and the parents. If you are new to dadding, give it all a look.
Here are 10 big themes that we explore on Episode Fifteen of WHOA DAD! GO DAD!:
Outdoor Adventures and Lifestyle: Dave and Ryan celebrated their shared passion for outdoor activities like mountain biking and camping as key family bonding experiences.
Leadership and Career Transitions: Ryan detailed his shift from the creative services industry to founding Milk and Whiskey, focusing on high-end outdoor gear for families.
Fatherhood Challenges and Rewards: Ryan discussed the unique challenges and joys of raising his eight-year-old son with patience and intentional parenting.
Balancing Work and Family Life: They explored the difficulty of balancing a demanding career with fatherhood responsibilities and the importance of being present.
Teaching Life Skills Through Outdoor Activities: Ryan highlighted how outdoor activities teach his son valuable life skills like resilience, problem-solving, and hard work.
Emotional and Mental Well-being: They emphasized the importance of mental health, dealing with emotions, and maintaining a positive outlook, especially after personal losses.
Building and Reinventing Identity: Ryan reflected on reevaluating and reinventing his identity following major life events and career changes.
Quality and Craftsmanship in Parenting Tools: Ryan stressed creating high-quality, durable products for families, like an adventure backpack with a diaper-changing add-on.
The Role of Faith and Letting Go: Both discussed the importance of having faith in the parenting process and letting go of the need for control.
