Episode Highlights
[03:36] Ryan's Career Journey Before 30
The first thing Ryan is proud of is his career journey before 30.
His journey accelerated very quickly. He had to go from leaving school with some GCSEs to entering the business world.
He started as an engineer installing security alarms and finding no success in working for his brother's business.
So, Ryan made a conscious decision that he wanted something different. He went through various stages where he wanted his career to be.
He took up senior roles and found success in the security industry before moving into hospitality, giving him insights on changing careers.
[07:07] Dealing with the Voice of Doubt
Five years ago, Ryan was all about proving a point.
Upon understanding more about himself, he realized it's about the results rather than making a point.
Ryan didn't hide the fact that he was 24 when he reached the business board level. He discussed it openly to let his colleagues understand his different perspectives.
Due to his desire to climb the ladder, he missed out on many things people his age did. He worked to keep his focus, prove his point, and get to where he wants to.
Comfort begins when you know yourself and your capabilities. Knowing he can get things wrong and have imperfections made Ryan more relaxed.
