Ryan first heard of the\u00a0<em>Wild Business Growth Podcast\u00a0<\/em>after his friend and former colleague Stephanie Liu appeared on our show. She posted my Instagram Stories promo video for the episode on LinkedIn and tagged Ryan, challenging him to break her records for alliteration, tongue noises (yep!), and more. He mayyy not have broken those records, but he still completely blew me away. Ryan is one of the most creative, ambitious, caring, and yes &#8211; courageous &#8211; leaders you&#8217;ll ever hear from.
