One thing we say all the time in our little family is, “keep chopping wood.” As in, no matter what happens, just keep working; keep chopping wood. Keep working. Keep trying to get better and be ready for the next opportunity.

Engaging, compelling, and charismatic, Ryan is Infectiously energetic. He encourages full participation from his audience, understanding that active engagement over passive listening is key to an enduring and impactful message. Versatile and concise, did the research necessary to tailor his message to our unique objectives, ensuring that the takeaways were both relevant and inspiring. Ryan translated his expertise into practical steps of application so the members of our team can attain their objectives, individually and collectively. Highly recommend him to any team and organization.
We recently had Ryan speak to our leadership team, sales
team, and selected guests. His talk "Why Not Me? Why Not
Now?" had all of us thinking "You're right! Why not ME? Why
not NOW?" Ryan is a gifted storyteller who was able to relay
his experiences as a MLB, World Baseball Classic, and
Olympic baseball player to the challenges we face in our
business. Imagine being fired from your dream job 26 times!
That's how many times Ryan was cut and sent back to the
minor leagues. Ryan tactfully compared his experiences in
the world of baseball to the challenges we face growing our
business in the "real world."
I wanted to send you a sincere thank you for your great
conversation our group. Everyone was truly engaged into
your conversation with them, and I believe that you have
inspired them to do their best and work hard in their craft to

texts and emails from this event, and they all loved your talk
and really were engaged in the topics. I appreciate your
patience with us running late overall you did a great job, and
we will be recommending you to other organizations for any
future speaking engagements that may arise.
