You Have Not Been Harmed
“The last year has been rough. It’s not how any of us would have chosen for things to go. Working from home. Cancelled trips. No unnecessary trips to the store, no concerts, no weddings or parties. Lost time with older loved ones—maybe even lost loved ones.”
Ryan explains how your life is rooted in what you learn by experience.

Found my shipwreck
I’m a college football coach. At the beginning of 2020, my head coach took a new job at a major university and didn’t take me. I moved to the east coast from Hawai’i where I knew no one. I started my first job as a coordinator (a goal of mine for 10 years) only to have spring football cancelled. Since we couldn’t do our jobs I was called to work in a COVID testing center, so I did my part. Soon after, I got a divorce. My family couldn’t come see me because of the pandemic so I got divorced in total isolation. A few months after I contracted COVID. But, those were my shipwrecks. Because I worked in the COVID testing center I got vaccinated w the first wave, because I got divorced I was able to meet the love of my life, because of the isolation I could reflect and had new inspirations for my first year as a defensive coordinator. This podcast helped me through. Thank you. The obstacle is the way.
Favorite Way To Start My Day
I’ve been delving into stoicism after a long and heartbreaking battle with infertility, amongst other issues. I love the new ritual of starting my day with Daily Stoic. It is grounding, and really helps me set myself up for a successful day. I’ve noticed a huge shift in my moods, effectiveness, and outlook since diving into stoicism and I love this pod because it’s short, sweet, and easily digestible which makes listening daily easy and enjoyable.
