About this listen
In this nostalgic and raw episode of the Welcome to Grass Valley Podcast, Ryan reunites with Eric Quintero, a longtime friend and "older brother" figure who provided a vital safety net for Ryan during his youth. The pair reflects on the evolution of community and connection, contrasting the "pager days" of the past with the distraction of modern smartphones. Eric opens up about a life-altering workplace injury that resulted in a traumatic brain injury, sharing his subsequent battle with depression and his path toward recovery through mental health counseling. Between stories of town legends and local lore, they advocate for a better future for Grass Valley’s youth, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness, community resources, and the "village" mentality.
