“Immigration is not for sissies. If anyone tells you it’s easy, they’re lying.” What do you do when life hands you a choice between comfort and calling? For Ryan Walker, it meant leaving behind his beloved grandmother, a young daughter, and the familiar rhythms of Johannesburg to answer something bigger.In this episode of A Stranger, A Suitcase, and A Story, Anton and Ben sit down with Ryan, an enterprise leader in Australia’s tech sector, to uncover how faith, grit, and “old school values” carried him through the hardest parts of migration. Ryan opens up about the heartbreak of separation, the discipline forged by his grandparents, and the unexpected blessings that met him the moment he landed in Sydney. It’s a conversation about the strength it takes to start over, the courage to hold onto your values, and the joy of discovering that home is not just where you arrive—it’s what you choose to build. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or at www.3spod.com. #AStrangerASuitcaseAndAStory #3SPod #PodcastLife #StorytellingPodcast #RealStories
