Can you fill that need?

And if you want to be one of those people, well, start by studying them.

It's what courage is calling and right thing right now is all about.

People who chose to step up when it mattered, whose actions helped inspired others, who were not too busy, who were not too scared, who were good and courageous and didn't back down, who showed that the best way to fight back against a dark world is to be a source of light.

Hey, it's Ryan.

Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoke Podcast.

I remember when I first moved to Texas, I got lunch with Austin Kleon, who had lived in Austin a little bit longer.

And we were sitting out in East Austin at a restaurant that no longer exists.

And he said, work, family, scene, pick two.

He was just telling me that, like, I had to get my priorities straight as a creative and as a person.

I didn't have kids yet, but I was sort of thinking about it, that, you know, you could be a sort of a trendy, cool sort of person about town and maybe get good work done, but that would come at the expense of your family.

Maybe you could party and have family and your work would suffer.

His point was you got to pick what your priorities are.

And that stayed with me.

It's been life changing advice.

I do try to mostly choose work and family.

And sometimes I combine the two.

I'm hitting the road here.

Actually, tomorrow we're flying out to do a little road trip down the West Coast because I have two speaking dates.

I'm going to be in Portland on June 8th giving a talk.
