On episode eighteen of The Platform Podcast I sit down with one of my best friend's, Josh Ryan. I've known Josh for a long time now since his days of bartending at one of Milwaukee's most popular bars, The Loaded Slate. Aside from being his best friend, he's also my girlfriend's brother... We backtrack to when Mattie and I first started dating and Josh gives his version of what went down. Rec league superstar! Josh stays young playing sports all the time, something that we all make jokes about constantly. Between hockey, softball, volleyball and kickball...he's racking up the rec league championships. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer, Josh was able to beat it and is doing great. How he found out that Sunday years ago and the "bumpy road" he took to beat it. The nightlife scene in Milwaukee is very close and Josh was very well known in the city bartending at one of the hot spots. After finding out he was diagnosed with cancer, the entire service industry came out to support and raised over $10,000. Milwaukee wasn't great to Josh when he first moved here. From getting locked out of his apartment to his encounter with a homeless woman, he almost moved right back to Chicago. Josh belongs to one of the wildest fantasy football leagues I've ever seen with punishment's that involve tattoos, bus trips alone across the country, having to do stand up comedy and more.
