Get to know Ryan
What’s your go-to productivity hack?
Getting up at 4:30 every morning. The downside is I’m usually in bed before my 4-year-old. Or I pass out beside him.
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
With an hour of free time, I’d either get a workout or run in, or catch up on the news – pretty boring, I know.
What's something people are surprised to learn about you?
People are usually surprised to learn I’m Canadian, and even more surprised that I’m a big fan of ketchup chips – yes, they’re a real thing. And they're delicious.
What is your most used emoji, gif, or meme?
I don't use emojis – except maybe a thumbs up every now and then.
