For as long as Ryan Greene could remember, he dreamed of being a physician for a professional sports team. He knew his 12+ years of comprehensive schooling would allow him to achieve this so he put his head and went to work. Little did he know that his career goal would soon change. He began to first hand witness the professional and private lives of many doctors and he noticed patterns that didn’t align with who he was. He saw his role models working 80-100 hours a week, sacrificing their time spent with their family and friends; sacrificing their health and well being; and sacrificing what they truly believed in to follow a system that wasn’t getting patients well. He knew this life wouldn’t satisfy him. He knew he didn’t want to be another statistic facing physician burn out. He knew there were pitfalls in the medical system that had to be repaired so he took a risk- he chose to breakaway from the paradigm to fix these problems affecting people’s wellness globally. He moved from Chicago to Los Angeles wi

Through this conversation over the past few months, we’ve learned your passion place can be so much more than a career, a destination or an actual place. Our episode 10 guest dives deep into the thought that passion can be a relationship; it can be a connection; it can be faith; it can be the little things that bring you joy. In this conversation, meet Dennise Petrucci Kwietkauski, the very special mother of our podcast’s host Lucca, and hear how her unique journey, from a tough childhood to an unhealthy marriage to being single mom to marrying the love of her life, connected her to her passion place and how her way of life and who she is has inspired her son to create this podcast. In this episode, Lucca and Dennise discuss how the emotional roller coaster of their relationship/circumstances has brought them closer to each other and their passions; how she naturally instills faith, kindness and love to all she comes in contact with by choosing joy day after day; the importance of a support system, especial
