Emily Davenport | Editor
Nothing beautiful can ever be accomplished alone. Emily is Susan’s longtime friend who graciously helps edit and produce the blog and supports Follow the Knowing’s business adventures. She’s a marine biologist turned communications guru who can be found working for The Ocean Foundation as their communications manager. In her spare time, she’s writing science scripts for the YouTube channel SciShow and playing tennis! She has three boys of her own – her husband Tim and two sons, Brandon and Conner. As an Enneagram 3, she is an achiever who loves working hard and measuring results.
Satish Ravindran | Silent Partner
Satish is the inspiration for Follow the Knowing. He spent 38 joyful years on this planet, 15 of those married to Susan, before peacefully passing away in his sleep in March of 2022. Satish was an extrovert whose big laugh and silly personality instantly made him loved by all. He found joy in purpose in all the right things, like being an amazing father and husband. As an Enneagram 1, he was a stubborn perfectionist, which he called “process improving.” We miss him daily. His legacy lives on through the stories we share and the connections we build with each other.
