On this episode of the Unglamourous Life, the infamous Ryan joins Laurin and Celeste to talk about the unglamorous side of being a real life hero. If you are a fan of the Unglamourous Life podcast then you have heard Celeste and Laurin make fun of Ryan at some point. He was unofficially on the show a few weeks back when we heard him cooking in the kitchen during the filming of one of our other episodes (nice work Ryan). This week the girls officially invited him on the show to discuss what it's like being a firefighter.  Ryan shares some crazy on the job stories as well as some great sleep hacks.  “To work a high stress job you need to have a life outside of your job.” - Ryan Conley Subscribe to iTunes, TuneIn, or Stitcher Radio!
