"Creatives are uniquely positioned to be great at marketing."
"It's about building trust. That's what marketing is about building trust."
"That's what they're ultimately demanding right now, at least in the current iteration of the algorithm. They're demanding connection. They're demanding resonance."

Ryan is such a clear channel for lack of a better term. He brings so much integrity to his coaching calls. I joined his class back in November and it turnout to be a bad time for me. I was afraid to speak up and ask for help and when I finally did he got me on a one on one call. The conversation we had was so powerful, just the fact that he had the desire to see me grow my business was enough but he really went deeper and helped me sort out what I already knew but was afraid to admit. Now I’m building momentum and my business is thriving again. His full course is really powerful and now I’m continuing my education with his marketing class. Do yourself a favor and give him a follow at the very least. He offers way more than just how to manage your finances. In fact the money is just an added bonus to the rest of what you’ll receive. This is awesome thanks Chats and Tatts and thank you Ryan
