Hi, I’m Ryan. I help high performers become founders by using LinkedIn to build real, profitable businesses.

My career didn’t fall apart. I didn’t burn out. I finished every role cleanly - Director, VP - leading hundreds of engineers across the world and helping build multiple billion‑dollar companies.

And still, I knew I wanted to build on my own.

I’ve founded 5 companies and earned multiple exits while scaling teams behind $1B+ in outcomes. I loved the work, but I wanted a life where I could build big things and be present for my family. I wanted ownership. I wanted flexibility. I wanted proof I could do it on my terms.

LinkedIn became the path. I grew from 1,200 to 100,000+ followers in nine months, built a brand that opened doors I didn’t know existed, and stepped fully into my own business.

Since then, I’ve coached 50+ founders to design careers, income streams, and opportunities that match the life they actually want - not the life their company dictates.

Here’s how we work:

- Identify the opportunities you can’t see in your past experience.
- Build a clear, practical brand that attracts the right people.
- Turn your skills into simple offers, real customers, and predictable income.

Today, I own my time. I build, coach, and spend my days with my family - and help others do the same.

If you’re a high performer who wants a business that fits your life, DM me.

Professional highlights:
• 5× Founder | Multiple exits
• Scaled teams responsible for $1B+ outcomes
• Grew to 100,000+ followers in 9 months
• Coached 50+ founders
• Trusted by leaders at Google, Adobe, Meta

I’ve been watching people for years. The patterns are wild.

The loudest person in the room? Usually compensating.

The flashiest? Probably broke or close to it.

The one who won’t shut up about how smart they are? Not that smart.

Here’s what I’ve noticed about people who actually have it:

The strongest are gentle.
They don’t need to intimidate. Their presence does the work.

The smartest are quiet.
They listen more than they talk. They know they don’t know everything.

The wealthiest are simple.
No logos. No flex. Just compound interest and time freedom.

The happiest are private.
They’re not performing for an audience. They’re living for themselves.

Real power doesn’t need to prove itself.

It just exists.

The person who’s actually built something doesn’t need to tell you about it every five minutes.
Their results speak.

The person who’s actually confident doesn’t need external validation.
They’ve done the internal work.

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth, your intelligence, your success—pause.

Ask yourself who you’re trying to convince.

Because the people who’ve made it?
They stopped performing a long time ago.

They just started building in silence.

The real luxury isn’t making millions.

And it’s definitely not your internet dream.

It’s easy to confuse money with freedom.

Fast cars.
Big houses.
Screenshots and timelines.

But watch closely.

The people who actually "made it"
optimize for something much quieter.

I control my time.
I can choose when to workout.
I dont have nearly the level of stress I once did.

Slow mornings without guilt.
Rested afternoons whenever I want.
Sleep that isn’t borrowed from tomorrow.

And most importantly:

People you love.
Who love you back.

Money can certainly help create these things and more, theres no denying that.

But chasing money at the expense of them usually destroys the very life you’re trying to build.

I learned this the hard way.

The goal isn’t more.
It’s enough — designed intentionally.

Slow down.
You’re closer than you think.

I waited longer than I should have.

Not because I didn’t have ideas.
Not because I wasn’t capable.

Because I kept telling myself I needed:
More clarity.
More confidence.
More proof it would work.

I thought I needed a better plan.

I didn’t.

I thought I needed permission to try new things.

I didn't

I thought I needed someone to tell me it was okay to start.

I didn’t.

What I actually needed was to stop questioning myself.

Every meaningful thing I’ve built started the same way:
Messy.
Incomplete.
Uncomfortable.


The people I know who’ve built real businesses didn’t wait for the right time.
They started before it made sense.
They figured it out while delivering.
They gave themselves permission to start.

Most people do the opposite.

They plan.
They ask.
They wait.

Your competition isn’t other people.

It’s your own hesitation.

Stop asking if you’re ready.
Start doing the thing you keep thinking about.

That’s what I write about every Saturday.

Start sooner than you feel comfortable.

The most valuable skill isn’t productivity.

It’s knowing what matters.

Anyone can work harder.
Anyone can move faster.
Anyone can optimize their calendar.

That’s not the edge.

The edge is knowing what not to do.

Because efficiency on the wrong things is still wasted energy.

I see this constantly.

People obsess over:
• Morning routines
• Task managers
• AI workflows
• Productivity hacks

But they’re applying them to work that doesn’t matter.

So they feel busy.
They feel exhausted.
And they wonder why nothing compounds.

Real leverage comes from clarity.

Knowing:
• Which decisions actually move the needle
• Which problems are worth solving
• Which work creates momentum instead of maintenance

Most professionals don’t need better systems.

They need better filters.

Once you know what matters, productivity becomes obvious.
Until then, it’s just motion.

That’s what I write about every Saturday.

You don’t need a perfect day.

You need three small wins.

Success isn’t built in big moments alone.

It’s built in the small, repeatable actions that quietly compound over time.

These 3 wins transform everything:

💪🏽 A Physical Win:
↳ Book walking meetings for 1:1 calls
↳ 60 seconds of jumping jacks before big meetings
↳ Match your coffee breaks with movement

🧠 An Intellectual Win:
↳ Delete one app that drains your attention
↳ Teach a friend or child something you just learned
↳ Create a "done list" instead of a to-do list

✨ A Spiritual Win:
↳ Send an unexpected voice note of appreciation
↳ Create space for 3 minutes of complete silence
↳ Leave an encouraging note on someone's desk

When you actively seek these wins, you'll spot them everywhere.

One win leads to another.
Success starts attracting success.

This is how progress becomes sustainable, and success stops feeling so heavy.

Which win will spark your positive spiral today?

Why some names come up first in important rooms.

(Hint: It’s not luck)

It usually has nothing to do with being the best in the room.

Names come up first because someone feels confident attaching their credibility to you.

That confidence gets built in small moments people remember.

People notice 👀

↳ How you respond when things go sideways
↳ If your judgment makes situations clearer or messier
↳ If working with you feels steady or draining
↳ How you talk about others when stakes are high

If you want your name to come up more often, focus here ⬇️

↳ Make it easier to work with you, not harder
↳ Be clear instead of impressive
↳ Follow through consistently
↳ Protect other people’s credibility, not just your own

Because opportunities don’t go to effort alone.
They go to trust ✨

Which of these matters most where you work?

Being “always on” isn’t success.

7 ways to reset without losing momentum:

Being constantly available feels responsible.

But over time, it quietly erodes focus, judgment, and follow-through.

Not because you’re weak.
Because your system never gets a reset.

Here are 7 simple ways to protect momentum - without disappearing or doing less.

1️⃣ Start with Stillness
↳ First 5 min of the day, no phone
↳ One slow breath + one clear priority

2️⃣ Create Untouchable Time
↳ 90 min daily on Do Not Disturb
↳ Phone in another room to remove temptation

3️⃣ Match Work to Mental Load
↳ Deep thinking before noon
↳ Admin and email during natural dips

4️⃣ Insert Micro Resets
↳ 60 sec of slow breathing between tasks
↳ Look 20 ft away for 20 sec to reset attention

5️⃣ Work in Real Blocks
↳ 45 min focused, then stop
↳ Stand, stretch, or walk - no scrolling

6️⃣ Set a Digital Sunset
↳ Devices off at a consistent time
↳ Same simple wind-down routine nightly

7️⃣ Use Transition Rituals
↳ 3 min between meetings
↳ In through the nose, longer exhale out

Being “always on” doesn’t make you reliable.
Being clear, rested, and decisive does ✨

🔔 Follow Dr. Carolyn Frost for practical tools that help you perform without burning out

Your title doesn't make you a success. 

Being easy to work with does.

This isn't just a work skill. 
It's a life skill.

7 ways to be easy to work with (and live with) ✨

1) Listen before you speak 
↳ At work: "Help me understand your perspective" 
↳ At home: Put the phone down when someone's talking to you

2) Make others feel heard 
↳ At work: "So you're saying..." before responding 
↳ At home: "That sounds frustrating" before trying to fix

3) Share credit generously 
↳ At work: "Thanks to [name] for making this possible" 
↳ At home: "I couldn't do this without your support"

4) Stay calm when others can't 
↳ At work: Lower your voice when tensions rise 
↳ At home: Take a breath before reacting to difficult news

5) Admit when you don't know 
↳ At work: "I'll find out by end of day" 
↳ At home: "You know what? I was wrong about that"

6) Ask questions that help others think 
↳ At work: "What would success look like?" 
↳ At home: "What do you think would help?" instead of jumping to solutions

7) Remember what matters to them 
↳ At work: Ask about their weekend plans 
↳ At home: Remember the little things they mentioned

The most valuable skill isn't on your resume.
It's how people feel when they're with you ✨

Which habit changes everything for you today?

Stop letting work invade every corner of your life.

12 boundaries that put you back in control 👇🏼

Every notification. 
Every "quick question" at 8pm. 
Every weekend email marked "urgent."

They're not just interruptions. 
They're invasions.

It starts as dedication. 

But slowly transforms into a life where you are perpetually exhausted but never quite "done."

It ends now.

💥 12 Scripts That Command Respect:

1) "I'm offline after 6pm, but I'll get back to you at 9am" 
↳ Don't justify or apologize. Simple statement, clear expectations.

2) "I've blocked focus time until 2pm, happy to connect right after" 
↳ Assume agreement rather than asking permission.

3) "This needs my full attention, let's set 30 min tomorrow" 
↳ Position boundaries as beneficial to work quality.

4) "I don't check email on weekends - text me only if it's urgent" 
↳ Create a specific emergency channel, keep it sacred.

5) "I have a hard stop at [time], what should we prioritize now?" 
↳ Frame it as prioritization, not avoidance.

6) "I'm stepping away for an hour and will check messages once I'm back" 
↳ Normalize breaks as part of professional behavior.

7) "That time's set aside for deep work, can we meet [day] instead?" 
↳ Empty calendar time isn't available time. Protect it.

8) "This might be better over email - happy to reply thoughtfully" 
↳ Reframe efficiency as a professional value.

9) "I'm at capacity through [day], which task should I pause to fit this in?" 
↳ Make trade-offs visible rather than absorbing more work.

10) "I don't take calls during my commute - it's reset time" 
↳ Position boundaries as performance enhancement, not selfishness.

11) "Tonight is family time - I can jump in tomorrow" 
↳ Name what you're protecting instead of apologizing.

12) "That's outside my bandwidth - [Name] might be able to help"  
↳ Redirect without guilt or over-explanation.

Your boundaries protect what matters most. 
Make them non-negotiable ✨

12 Boundaries That Protect Your Time

10 visuals to sharpen how you think 

(and improve how you work under pressure)

Not motivation.
Not hustle.

Clear thinking changes how you decide, communicate, and follow through - especially on busy days.

(All visuals by @joazolins on Instagram)

1️⃣ Your potential is bigger than you think
↳ Most people underestimate what consistency actually unlocks

2️⃣ People are influenced more by what you do than what you say
↳ Behavior builds trust faster than explanations

3️⃣ You’re trying to fit too much into limited space
↳ Overwhelm is often a signal to subtract, not push harder

4️⃣ Small kindness has outsized impact
↳ What feels minor to you can mean a lot to someone else

5️⃣ Working tired isn’t productive
↳ True rest first leads to better work after

6️⃣ Short-term action beats long-term waiting
↳ Progress comes from doing, not planning longer

7️⃣ Trying and failing is how progress actually works
↳ Avoiding failure keeps things exactly the same

8️⃣ If you can’t do big things, do small things well
↳ Care and attention compound over time

9️⃣ Perfection often hides procrastination
↳ Refining the trivial stuff delays what actually matters

🔟 Starting is the hardest part
↳ Overwhelm peaks early, then eases once you move

Clear thinking isn’t abstract.
It shows up in better choices, better work, and less friction.
