89 - Ryan Phillips : elevating others through his own journey

Published on: 18th January, 2022

I’m excited to be joined this week by Ryan Phillips. Ryan is a health and wellness apparel business owner, mental health advocate, TedX speaker, and former professional hockey player. He’s very open about his journey, of the challenges he faced and the struggles he overcame. While we can look at professional athletes and dream of their fame and fortune, we don’t usually consider the abuse they experience - the mental, emotional and physical trauma from various people and situations.

 

On his path, Ryan was arrested for transporting and distributing marijuana. It wasn’t just the incarceration that he faced; there were also dangers within the lifestyle of being a dealer. But, one morning, Ryan woke up and walked away from it all, wanting something more for himself, knowing that he was meant for and capable of more in his life. He did and continues to invest in himself, sharing the ups and downs, encouraging others who might remain on the sidelines, not asking for the help they so desperately need. Ryan has ridden across Asia and Canada, being the voice for those who need help and are silent for trafficking and mental health awareness. Join us to hear how Ryan continues to move forward in helping others grow and heal.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men live fully alive, boldly and courageously
Do you feel overwhelmed when making decisions? Struggle to take action in your personal life or career? Think you're alone in these situations? You're not! In fact, you're in good company. 
 
I'm Mike Forrester, host of the Living Fearless Today podcast. Join me as I interview other men who triumphed over their own adversities, learn how they did it and where they are today. So that whatever you're facing, know others fought the same battle and have conquered those challenges. They are now encouraging you and me to live our life boldly and courageously alongside them.
 
Let's disprove the lie that we're the only one who's going through this situation, that no one knows what it's like. You're not alone in the struggle you're working through. As men, we have more in common in our journey than you might want to believe.
 
Join me here each Tuesday for the interview and then again on Friday as I spotlight the lessons learned. How we can apply them to become the confident and courageous man we're wanting to be - for ourselves, our wife and our children.
