53 分钟So my guest today is Ryan Lee, who is actually an old friend of mine.
It's always kind of funny slash interesting when I get to sit down with somebody who I've known for many years and grill them on parts of their life that I actually don't yet know.
And that was the case with Ryan.
I learned a lot about him.
I mean, I've kind of known things.
Ryan grew up outside of New York City, started to sort of like, gain an entrepreneurial spirit in his early teens.
And he shares a story about how he actually had middle aged men coming to his house to buy things from him when he was twelve and 13 years old.
And he built on that and mixed his love of movement and exercise and physiology and service and started out his career actually helping kids, helping kids who are really struggling with physical limitations and conditions and disease.
And that evolved into something he never saw coming.
A whole career path that had some really high highs but also some really low lows and kind of landed him in what he calls the dark years of his life, which he has been slowly emerging from over the last five years.
And that's all kind of manifested in a new venture which is launching, actually a new series of nutrition bars called Rewind, which is pretty cool, how we got to that place and how he feels about it and what he's scared about as he does.
This is all part of the conversation we have today.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed sitting down and learning a lot more about my old friend Ryan Lee.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
What kind of kid were you?
What were you into?
I was, you know, I was a good kid.
I never got into trouble.
I listened.
It was, you know, growing up, when we did, it was different back then.
