Ron Lewis on Choosing Intuition Over Convention
In this episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with Ron Lewis, a musician, rider, and route-builder, to talk about the creative process, burnout, music, and the quiet lessons that come from spending time outside.
Ron shares how he approaches life like a trail: one turn at a time, guided by feeling and intuition. We dive into how storytelling shows up in his design work, the role music plays in shaping perspective, and what it means to move through life slowly, with intention.
We also talk about the tension between passion and burnout, learning to trust your pace, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just show up.
Whether you’re a cyclist, a creative, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that the long road often leads to the good stuff.
