Hi - Ryan here
Welcome, I’m guessing if you are here you want to learn a little more about me, and since I use Westfuller as an ongoing work/life documentary portal, enjoy the inside look.
Grateful
Story time. I have worked with some amazing people in my career, and I’m grateful to have known them all. But one sticks out that ties it all together. I had just launched OPKIX after a few years of no sleep, long weeks, hectic travel, schedules, and lost weekends. I had poured 99% of myself into this company. I then receive this text message from one of the best humans/businessmen/mentors I have been lucky enough to work with. In my business life, nothing has meant more. And growing up without a father, meant a lot personally.
