Description

In Episode 21, Brendan sits down with a familiar face — Ryan Dewan, co-founder of Wave Media, creative director, storyteller, dad, golfer, and the producer behind The Enthusiastic Life Podcast. With a last-minute cancellation, Ryan stepped in as today’s guest, opening the door for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on his journey and the heart behind Wave Media.

Ryan shares how he went from working construction to radically changing direction and building a creative agency from the ground up. He talks about life inside the media and production world, the lessons that shaped him, and some of his favorite shoots and projects over the years.

They also dive into Ryan’s college golf days, his love for fatherhood, and the story of how he and Brendan met — and how that connection sparked the growth of this podcast.

This episode is honest, wide-ranging, and a chance to hear the story behind the storytellers.

In this episode, we cover:

• Ryan’s journey from construction to launching Wave Media
• What he’s learned building a creative career from scratch
• Favorite projects, shoots, and experiences in the production world
• College golf, competition, and how the game shaped him
• Life as a dad and building a life aligned with values
• How Brendan and Ryan met — and why the EL Pod matters so much to both
