Ryan “R-Willy” Williams is one of the most influential action-sports athletes of his generation. From being mocked for riding a scooter to winning X Games gold, creating world-first tricks and completely changing what people believed was possible on both a scooter and BMX, Ryan has taken his sport to another level.

But behind the tricks, records and fearless image is someone who has spent his life learning how to understand fear without allowing it to take control.

In this episode, Ryan opens up about where his relentless drive comes from, the mindset required to attempt the impossible, overcoming crashes and self-doubt, handling pressure and maintaining his love for the sport.

He also shares how becoming a husband and father has changed his relationship with risk, responsibility and what truly matters. This is an honest conversation about fear, sacrifice, identity, fatherhood and the person behind R-Willy.

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Giovannoni for a raw conversation about the experiences that shape who we become. We explore the lasting impact of family trauma and childhood experiences, and how the stories, wounds, and patterns we carry can quietly follow us into adulthood.

Georgie opens up about her own mental health journey, navigating misdiagnoses, relationships, self-discovery, and the ongoing process of understanding herself on a deeper level. We also dive into connection — our relationship with ourselves, with others, and what it means to feel truly seen and understood. This is a conversation about healing, identity, growth, and finding your way back to yourself when life pulls you in different directions. A thoughtful and vulnerable conversation that I know will resonate with so many people.
