#1 - Ryan Boloix

Note: Previously, I recorded a few podcast episodes before my flight training back over two years ago under a different Substack called “The Savanna”. I’m currently recording new episodes, but will be re-uploading a few of the old ones to bridge the gap.(Recorded July 2023) Ryan Boloix is an actor, artist, and clown currently making his name known in the mean streets of New York. Apart from a commitment to the Giants and lowering his resting heart rate, a childlike joy serves as a through-line in all his interests. Ultimately, Ryan hopes to bring a greater sense of interconnectedness to the world in his work and daily life.
