This week we welcome to the Podcast, Ryan Buynak! Ryan is a self proclaimed word nerd, poet, and creative force. He can’t quit writing even if he tries; it’s a part of him that he can’t turn off. Orphaned at age 12, Ryan has always been an observer with a lot to say. He has published 13 books of poetry, is the host of the “Bothering the Band” podcast, serves as an active member of storytelling workshops in New York and Florida and is a proud father of a beautiful daughter. His first novel 'Eating Dirt' will be out in the world this year. Check out him and Amanda's conversation!
