In Part 2 of our 100th episode celebration, Dave Ryan returns, this episode is packed with even more laughs, life lessons, and unexpected gems. Dave may be best known for waking up the Twin Cities on KDWB, but this episode reminds us why he’s truly so much more: a sharp thinker, thoughtful writer, and all-around joyful human.
We start with a story that proves, once and for all, that Dave really is a genius (though he’s too humble to say so). From there, we dive into the process behind his bestselling book Take a Shower, Show Up on Time, and Don’t Steal Anything, and how the simplest things—like lemonade stands and thank-you cards—can teach us volumes about kindness and connection.
This episode is the perfect reminder that joy can come from anywhere—a bike ride, a note in the mail, or a morning radio show that’s still making us laugh after all these years.
