The Journey of a Teen Visionary and TEDx Advocate with Ryan Brady
At 18, I was inspired by "The 4-Hour Workweek" and took my first steps into the entrepreneurial world, which led me to help students secure visas to study abroad. Join us in this episode as we sit down with Ryan, a vibrant young entrepreneur who didn’t stop there. He talks about his transition to helping speakers land TEDx talks, offering insights from past interviews with TEDx speakers. We explore how intentionality and sacrifice are crucial in building a successful business, and Ryan challenges us to see the TEDx-worthy idea within each of us. His journey underscores the value of understanding one’s goals and the real impact a TEDx talk can—or cannot—have.
Ryan’s story takes a deeply personal turn when he shares a teenage car accident that changed everything. Ignoring a warning and driving off a cliff led to a traumatic brain injury, shaking the very foundations of his memory and language skills. This life-altering event reshaped his view on life and business, cultivating a resilience that’s as inspiring as it is enlightening. Ryan also opens up about the importance of family support and seizing opportunities while young—when there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain. We contemplate the immense power of youthful enthusiasm and the Wisdom of past generations, imagining a dinner conversation encompassing both the future and the cherished memories of those no longer with us.
