What if doing something just to prove you can is reason enough?

In this Summer Short, Ryan shares the story of how — with no grand plan, no spiritual quest, and no real justification — he decided to walk the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage across Spain.

What started as a personal challenge turned into something bigger: a lesson in trust, a practice of presence, and an invitation to stop needing a reason for everything we do.

Together, Ryan and Vic reflect on:

  • The difference between expectations and expectancy
  • Why “I want to see if I can” might be a good enough reason
  • How following curiosity can open doors to a more aligned life

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt the pull to try something bold, even if it doesn’t make sense on paper.
