“Ryan speaks to the heart like no one I’ve ever seen . I was captivated every single moment.”
Give your audience a different experience.
Ryan flips the script on the hard things that happen to us all, and leaves audiences with a new mindset and sense of possibility.
Hi, I’m Ryan
Your audience deserves more than a moment of inspiration. They deserve to break free from the hard things in their past and see a future for themselves that’s bursting with possibility.
I’m a speaker, but consider myself a guide first.
A guide is someone who has walked the path before and can point in the direction of home. And while I’ve had my fair share of deviations from the path, I’ve always made it back home.
So, if you’re looking for someone to speak from experience on the topics of healing and resilience, you just found him.
Signature Keynotes
Sometimes, all we need is a witness
In this keynote, Ryan uses vivid storytelling to demonstrate the simple and surprising healing power of our connection with one another.The irony of living in "The Connected Age" is that we seem to have lost the art of connection. We see this most in the spiking rates of loneliness worldwide, but especially in the US. Drawing on both modern research and ancient practices, Ryan reconnects audience members with their innate ability to not only access this healing power for themselves, but also in service of others.Beauty in the CONTRAST
In this keynote, Ryan tells the story of how a dream changed the course of his life and altered his perspective on human suffering forever. With his signature warmth and compassion, Ryan points audience members to the unexpected hope that clings onto the edges of the hard things we experience. Rather than "give a win" to the dark side, Ryan makes a case that every hard thing we experience carries within in the key to healing, and provides a unique opportunity to experience a kind of beauty that can only be found in contrast. Pardon the Interruption
In this keynote, Ryan shares the secret to standing strong in the face of the inevitable interruptions to our lives, and maybe even finding joy in the process. Tapping into the traditions of the mystics and modern neuroscience, Ryan leads audience members on a journey and helps them find the key to resilience that's always been there. They may even find that they begin to welcome the occasional interruption with a smile on their face. Make ROOM for a Bigger Yes
In this keynote, Ryan invites audience members into a new perspective on the choices they make every single day. How can we identify the areas of our lives that deserve the biggest yes possible? How do we make room for those? What does the future look like when we make room for our biggest yeses?Audience members leave inspired and encouraged to live bigger and bolder and to expect greater things from themselves and their lives.
