517. John James Ryan (Keep Flying)

About this episode

John James Ryan discusses his recovery from surgery, the importance of appreciating everyday life, and shares humorous anecdotes about aging.

Join John and and I as we catch up with one another for this chat in the Keep Flying van while the band was in town on tour with Wheetus. John opens up about how it was breaking his back, the uncertainty of what his life would be after the surgery. How he was determined to get back on stage and play with his band, in whatever capacity that could be. We discuss learning to re appreciate everyday things after losing them for a little while. The power of asking for help, including advice you'd give your 20 year old self. John and I share tales of getting older and how comedically opposite our bladder issues are and more in this chat with one of the best people in the world.
