Willy Ratz is one of a kind…

…who can do it all. He’s got a foot in science, he’s an excellent cook, and quite the photographer. He can fix your bike, tell the best jokes, and make a mean chocolate cake.

He told this story at our very first Houlihan Narratives event, held on November 4, 2017 at the Bhava Shala in Lander, Wyoming. Our theme that evening was “Time Out”.

See photos and learn more about Willy at this episode's page.

 

Music for this season comes from artist Jason Tyler Burton, featuring the song “On My Mind” from his album Lost Behind the Ranges.

The Houlihan Narratives is possible in part thanks to the generosity of the LOR Foundation and is produced by Plug Tone Audio.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
