A bestselling author whose work is both philosophically driven and highly practical, Ryan’s books have sold more than ten million copies and spent over two hundred weeks on international bestseller lists. His ideas are studied in universities and business schools around the world, with his groundbreaking first book, Trust Me, I’m Lying, exposing the inner workings and vulnerabilities of the global media system back in 2012.
Ryan’s influence extends far beyond the page. His teachings have inspired Super Bowl-winning teams such as the New England Patriots, NBA Champions including the San Antonio Spurs, and Olympic Gold Medallists. He has also worked with senators, military leaders and global organisations such as Google, Twitter and Microsoft.
At the heart of Ryan’s work lies Stoicism – the philosophy that, while we cannot always control what happens to us, we can always choose how we respond. Through bestselling titles including The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, Stillness is the Key, Discipline is Destiny and his most recent release, Right Thing, Right Now, Ryan brings Stoic principles to life through vivid storytelling and practical lessons.
His talks offer a clear and powerful framework for overcoming adversity, achieving focus and resilience, and finding calm in a fast-changing world. Profiled by The New York Times, Sports Illustrated and ESPN, Ryan’s ideas resonate with audiences across business, sport and culture. He lives in Austin, Texas, where he divides his time between writing and raising cattle, donkeys and goats on his family ranch.

Check Your Ego at the Door
The biggest threat to your success? Your own ego. In this eye-opening keynote, Ryan unpacks how ego clouds judgment, derails growth, and limits potential. Learn how to spot it, silence it, and rise above it—so you can focus on the work that truly matters and lead with humility and clarity.

The Art of Staying Relevant
Ryan was awesome!!! Exceeded our high expectations. Thanks so much for your help, it was a pleasure working on this with you. It was so fun, educational and special for us to meet Ryan.
I have booked A LOT of speakers. Ryan is the rare blend of a total pro who’s also likeable and approachable. He brings an ‘everyman’ spirit to a topic that could go over heads in the wrong hands. His content was insightful, relevant, timely, and forward thinking. To this day I still get notes from our members that attended that event telling me what an impact it had on their lives and their business.
