#16 Pilot Ryan Thomas: Parenting, Space & a Paradox

  • Summary

  • Anthony sits down with his brother, Ryan Thomas, to talk about a plethora of topics ranging from the rebranding of Innertained Podcast to pilot life, navigating parenting styles, and the mental bounceback after an injury. Ryan also shares his fascination with the universe and leaves us with a cosmic mystery… that may leave you in the dark. 

    Ryan Thomas is one of Anthony’s brothers, a Pilot for a commercial airline and the United States Air Force Reserves, and a self-proclaimed human. He has a BS in Psychology from WSU and is in (very slow) pursuit of his second bachelor’s degree in Physics. He’s a husband to a badass wife and father to two imaginative children.
