Ryan's nuggets of wisdom
“I remember realizing I was a sponge for it”
“whatever you see your self-doing, you can use that as drive to succeed, but understand that is just a stepping stone”
“like Bruce Lee says, Be Like Water”
“we’ve tried to put our money where our mouth is and affect change via action rather than preaching because preaching has become so easy for everybody and the use of that microphone has become often empty as far as what you see and what you hear”
“When I sit down to write something, it’s a very personal process, I don’t like having an agenda…ultimately I don’t want to be thinking at all when I’m making things”
“So much of what I’ve learned is just via listening and feeling, being that sponge”
