"As a society, we are more
depressed, anxious, and lonely
than at any other time in recorded history”

But it doesn’t have to be this way…

Hey There!

I’m Ryan

I’ve been an entrepreneur for the last 15 years. During that time, I built and sold 4 companies, and travelled to 85 countries with my family of 8.

On the surface, things looked great, but deep down I was dealing with some hard things that I couldn’t seem to shake, no matter how hard I tried.

It took me years and cost me a small fortune to find the peace and healing I needed. In the end, I realized that we are wired for healing, and most of it wasn’t even necessary.

Now I’ve left my career and found my calling: to help people like you and me find healing from the hard things in their past and build resilience for their future.

I do that in 2 ways:

I TALK ABOUT THINGS

  • I host a podcast where I explore healing and resilience in all its forms with experts and people like you and I.

  • I speak on stages about maximizing our potential through healing and resilience.

  • I write books that help you find your own way to healing.

I GUIDE PEOPLE

Here’s to living life to the fullest,

Find Healing and Build Resilience

with the How We Heal Podcast.

New episodes every week

Join me on the How We Heal Podcast as I interview experts on a wide variety of healing topics, modalities, and topics.

I also interview every day people to learn how they healed from the hard things in their past, so we can learn from them together. This is how we used to heal, and it just makes sense.

Finally, I host topical series with a co-host and dive deep on topics and questions most on your mind.

An Owners Manual

For the Human Heart

Over hundreds of thousands of years humans have been processing trauma, healing from hard things, and building resilience.

In the last hundred, we’ve developed some amazing drugs and therapies that help a lot of people.

But while more of us take these drugs and do the therapy, depression, anxiety, and loneliness keep increasing, and are at all-time highs.

Something it wrong with this picture.

How We Heal takes a thorough look at humanity’s best attempts at healing - both in the distant past and on the cutting edge - and boils it down to practical evidence-based solutions you can use in your own life, right now.

Oh, and if you’re hoping for a bunch of psychojargon, you’re going to be sadly disappointed. This isn’t a textbook. It’s more like an operating manual for the human heart.

How We Heal is scheduled for release in early 2025, but you can get the first chapter now for free.

Hope is for everyone …

Life is complicated.

And finding hope in the midst of it is never guaranteed.

Here’s how I found mine.
