So hello and welcome back to the disclosure podcast. I am your host Ed and today is a very special

podcast. I'm really excited to announce that I'm joined in the studio by Ryan.

Ryan is a dairy farmer and when I announced I was doing the podcast Ryan reached out to me

via email and said, oh look you know I'm really interested in coming in and having a discussion with you and so I asked if you could come to London and and it just so happened he could and so here we are in the studio together

So thank you so much for being here Ryan. I'm really very grateful for you reaching out to me.

If I could just start by asking like what compelled you to to kind of want to reach out in the first place?

I was just watching that video where you're announcing your New Disclosure Podcast and I was just

thinking myself I've always wanted to speak to one of the big activists like I've watched

you enjoy Carpstone and a couple more I've always wanted to have a conversation so I thought

that would be a great way to make it possible.

Yeah I appreciate that. I mean this is one of the reasons I wanted to do this podcast was to hopefully create conversations and you know perfect I'm so happy that

you're here so thank you for making the journey you know Belfast is it's not that far

but it's also not that close so thank you for taking the time to do this.

So I guess the first question, or the first round of questions would be,

tell me a little bit about what you do.

You live in in Northern Ireland, is that right?

And you work on two dairy Northern Ireland is that right?

Yeah so I lived just outside of Belfast and a small sort of time called Kite

off just outside of it and I started working on onframs when I was about 12, an eber of mine. I got a job with him and I've been working there ever since.

And then, like September, or maybe October October I got another job on a bigger dairy farm

which is about 20 minutes away from me and I started working on it so I've been working on

dairy farms for about five years.
