Ryan Ashton, known online as @ryanashtonwashere, joins me for a remarkably honest conversation about losing his father to Lewy body dementia, the strange shape of anticipatory grief, and what happened when a deeply personal video took him from 300 to 39,000 followers overnight; now almost 150,000.
We talk about the pressure to turn vulnerability into a business, protecting people’s trust in a world full of grifters, and how yoga offered Ryan a presence of mind he hadn’t found elsewhere—until filming it began to turn practice into performance. A moving, funny and refreshingly unpolished conversation about identity, loss, masculinity and learning to sit beside someone without trying to fix them.
“You only get one shot at people’s trust. Abuse it once and it’s gone.”
