Happy When Curious
My name is Brady Ryan and I am a sea salt farmer on San Juan Island in Washington State. Ever since I was a child I have felt like my main skill was not that I was smarter or stronger or harder working or braver than anyone else, I was just a little more curious than the average cat. Since becoming a parent and trying to be a good husband and small business owner have taken so much of my energy and attention, I feel like this one superpower I have has fallen by the wayside. This podcast is my attempt to rediscover curiosity through conversation and contemplation. I will be alternating conversations with guests one episode with a short musing of my own the next. The musing episodes will allow me to try to explore ideas that I've heard or that I've come up with in an open ended way. My theory is that exploration is worth much more than answers and hopefully the interviews and the musings can live up to that principle.

Brady Ryan
Dan is a homesteader, writer, artist and agroforester in Alaska and the author of the Where the Forest Meets the Sea substack. I highly suggest reading his blog, it's a very enjoyable read.
Our starting point for this conversation:
"Why am I moving with my wife and child to a remote stretch of beach in the darkest and rainiest part of this continent, at the far end of every supply chain and convenience? Have I gone mad? Am I completely lost to sense and reason? I would answer that I feel guided on this journey by a great, overarching purpose that has the ability to animate my entire being, and helps me to meet the many challenges along this way. I feel in my heart that I am on the right path."
