Old Ranger, New Dad: Faith, Combat, Security, IVF, & Fatherhood

Send us Fan MailToday, I sit down again with Seth Ryan, a Marine Corps veteran, former Army Ranger, law enforcement professional, private security contractor, podcast host, husband, and father. Mr. Ryan shares how his life has shifted since our previous conversation, including his rebrand into Old Ranger, New Dad, his focus on mentoring young men, and his continuing passion for school safety, security awareness, and crime prevention through environmental design. In this episode, Mr. Ryan discusses his background in the Marine Corps, the 75th Ranger Regiment, law enforcement, private contracting, and serving in Baghdad during the COVID-era lockdowns. We also talk about his previous School to Embassy Project, why conversations about school shootings and security can be difficult to host online, and how censorship, demonetization, and algorithm suppression can affect creators who are trying to discuss prevention, safety, and public protection. Mr. Ryan also opens up about fatherhood, IVF, his wife Malyri Ryan’s medical emergency, the loss of embryos, and their ongoing journey toward growing their family through a gestational carrier. We discuss how becoming a father later in life has shaped his perspective, how faith has helped him and Mrs. Ryan endure hardship, and why marriage, parenting, and purpose require more than personal strength alone. Throughout the conversation, I also share my perspective on podcasting, rebranding, faith, young men, masculinity, discipline, relationships, public education, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are actually trying to grow.Seth Ryan's Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/old-ranger-new-dad/id1822839257Malyri Ryan Episode:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-mothers-journey-of-pregnancy-hardships-near/id1657865479?i=1000767034428First Seth Ryan Episode:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/combat-veteran-exposes-the-truth-about-school/id1657865479?i=1000701429695Website: https://coupleonukes.comDiscounted Military Creator Con Tickets: http://militarycreatorcon.com/register?afmc=MCCMWExodus, Honor Your Heart, & Nulu Knives: https://www.coupleonukes.com/affiliates/Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
