Thank you very much for giving us a lecture “Global Entrepreneurship: Key principles in how to lead and build brands globally” at Osaka University. Your talk gave us practical knowledge on how to utilize marketing and branding theory on the front line of global business. Your passion as well as wisdom about the food industry inspired our students. Your entrepreneurship motivated the audience and it was one of the best lectures in our Osaka University EDGE program “Entrepreneurship Speaker Series.” I truly appreciate your kindness and your devotion to education for young leaders.”

“Ryan’s session was a hit. I was the board member that introduced him. Ryan’s afternoon talk, Leadership & Influence: How to empower & succeed globally, was well received by the audience. The session was well attended and many attendees stayed past the end of Ryan’s talk to ask him one-on-one questions. I witnessed a woman who was so inspired by him, she asked if he would be open to being her mentor. He gladly gave her his card and told her to contact him. Ryan’s inspirational speech focused on the benefits of building winning teams within organizations to accomplish higher goals. Ryan was engaging, articulate, approachable, and very easy to follow and relate to. Ryan added a very human perspective to the daily journey many people encounter in the business world.”
