This episode is very close to my heart.
“If you asked how much connection currency I have in the bank… I’m loaded.” Ryan
In this episode of Beyond Turning Points, I sit down with one of my dearest friends and creative collaborators Ryan Gittoes. We’ve shared hundreds of adventures, gigs and soul-searching conversations and this episode captures the essence of all of it.
Ryan speaks candidly about a pivotal moment in his early 20s, standing on a job site as a fourth-generation plumber and asking himself:
“Is this why I’m here?”
The answer was no.
We dive into:
• The leap from plumbing to music and the courage to follow a calling
• The magic and mayhem of early share house days
• Building and the imminent closing of his creative studio on Tamborine Mountain
• His powerful work with people of “unique abilities” and why that language matters
• Creativity, presence and staying human in an AI-saturated world
Ryan is honest about being in the rapids right now – letting go of something he built with love, facing uncertainty and still choosing to back himself.
This conversation is for the conscious creatives, the empaths and the adventurers who are navigating their own wild waters.
Would love to hear any thoughts or insights in the comments.
Warmly
Ash 💙
