“Some people make music. Others become music — living, breathing reminders of how sound can heal, lift, and connect us. Today’s guest is someone who has done exactly that, not only through his role as guitarist for Otherwise, but through the soul and service behind Life by Music.



I’m beyond honored to welcome Ryan Patrick to the podcast — not just as an artist I admire, but as a human who has impacted my life in ways that words can barely touch. Through music, energy, and his mission, Ryan has reminded me — and so many others — that we’re never alone in the dark. His presence, his passion, and his heart for helping others are the kind of realness this world needs more of.



This conversation is personal. It’s a thank-you. And it’s a celebration of a man who uses his voice and his platform to make people feel seen, heard, and understood.



So let’s get into it — this is The Authentic Life with KL, and today, I get to share space with someone who helped me find light through sound… the one and only Ryan Patrick.”
