Only took me 33 years to muster the courage to tell the world who I wanted to be when I grew up. Just glad that the social debut of #ryanfromDetroit could happen here on LinkedIn with all of my #linkedinfam here to watch! If you ask my wife, she will tell you the story on how I got the name. If you ask our closest friends and family, they will laugh a little and reminisce about the time we got lost in Maui on the way home from our rehearsal dinner (fyi....I’m telling you they spiked the poi 🤢). But all of those experiences became stories to tell and lit the creative spark to become who I am today (the good and the not so good, I’m a work in progress thank God). More importantly, those stories helped me sell a lot of car parts and feed my kids. I mean so....many....car parts (I can’t count them). Literally millions upon millions of car parts and hundreds of pairs of handcrafted sandals. So this is a little thank you for showing me some love here on this platform and somehow coming back for more throughout this discovery. The videos are just getting started and LinkedIn isn’t ready for what these crazy content creators have in store. I know because I’m one of them.
