KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Ryan brings live music and storytelling together for interactive keynote experiences that inspire resilience and leave audiences energized.

WHAT SETS RYAN APART?

Ryan doesn’t deliver a speech—he creates an experience. Every session is alive with music, real conversation, and moments that pull the audience in instead of leaving them in their seats. With the energy of a performer and the perspective of someone who’s walked through fire and come out stronger, Ryan turns the room into more than an audience—it becomes a community. Instead of just hearing a story, people find themselves singing along, sharing insights, and walking away with practical tools they can actually use. His core belief is clear: you don’t control the obstacles life throws at you, but you do control the way you rise, respond, and rewrite your story.

“Engaging, authentic, and unexpectedly fun. Ryan made a heavy topic feel hopeful and practical for everyone in the room.”

Ryan’s authenticity and presence brought balance to the conference’s scientific and often heavy content, highlighting resilience and community. His shared patient experience and performance were widely seen as powerful and memorable — more than entertainment, it was a reminder of hope and connection.”
