In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of The Checkered Jaguar, Brescia sits down with dear friend and co-owner of GROUNDWRK, Ryan Coyle, for a raw and powerful conversation about identity, expression, and transformation. From his early experiences of feeling different as a kid, to the emotional process of coming out, to boldly stepping into his most authentic self — Ryan shares his journey of becoming with deep vulnerability and unshakable strength.

We explore how Ryan’s unique confidence and style have evolved, how his self-expression has shaped his life, and how building a thriving fitness studio from the ground up became an extension of his purpose. Together, we talk about the courage it takes to live unapologetically, break societal molds, and redefine success on your own terms. Whether you’re navigating identity, dreaming of launching something meaningful, or simply looking for a reminder to be boldly you — this episode is for you.
