Sometimes, being late isn’t the problem — it’s who you were riding with. In this episode, Smoove talks about how the team at work dropped the ball, how that delay almost threw everything off, and how divine timing still made it all line up just right.

From a chaotic day that ran behind schedule to catching one of the best Chris Brown concerts ever, this one’s all about perspective — how talent needs preparation, how teams reveal alignment, and how timing always tells the truth.

Because in life (and in faith), it doesn’t matter how gifted you are… if your circle ain’t ready for where you’re going, you’ll always show up late to your purpose.

In this deeply personal episode of Young, Saved & Ratchet, Ryan opens up about the loss of his mother 12 years ago and the journey of learning how to grieve while still living, loving, and growing. This isn’t just a story about pain—it’s about the process of healing, the complicated balance of faith and raw emotion, and how mourning can transform into meaning.

Through laughter, tears, and truth, Ryan shares how his mother’s passing shaped his perspective, his faith, and his fight to find peace. If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, faith, or the weight of letting go, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and that even in mourning, there’s a way forward.
