Ryan Gentile here, and welcome to Gentile Life podcast page! I started this podcast back on Jan. 1st, 2020, you know before the world went to shit!
Over the years, I've had some great episodes, but it wasn't until the unfortunate passing of my dear friend to cancer in early 2023 that I decided to shift the focus of this podcast.
When my friend passed, she was in her late 30's and had a young daughter, 2 or 3. I was so heartbroken for her because all she wanted to be was a mother and now she would never get the chance to see her daughter grow up. Also, her daughter would never truly get to know her mom besides stories from other people.
So I decided that my podcast would now be a love letter to my young daughters, if the worse were to ever happen to me when they are still young. They will get to hear my thoughts, feelings, opinions, and rants from my own mouth. Nothing wrong with others telling my story but there are always 2 sides to every story.
So this podcast is for them! If I do get to see them grow up and they get to learn all about me, then this will be for my grandkids. If they decide to have any.
I love you Claire and Emma and I hope when the day comes you read this summary of the show, you smile and laugh from listening to your old man be, well himself.
