How do you confidently sell your freelance graphic design services to an established business when you’re just a teenager?
What do you do when you’re 21 years old, and you find yourself repeatedly sitting across a conference room table from (now former) Disney CEO Bob Iger?
How is it possible to serve as CEO of a Management Consulting Firm (think “Professional Services SWAT Team“) AND serve on multiple city commissions AND co-found and organization dedicated to improving the quality of our political discourse?
If you’re Nathan Ryan, you use every opportunity presented to you as a chance to be curious, open minded, and an eternal student.
I'm extremely honored to share my conversation with my friend & fellow Austinite Nathan Ryan with you.
Nathan is the co-founder and the CEO of Blue Sky Partners, which is "an on-demand executive team for your business" that's focused on values, growth, culture, and scale from the ground up.
Nathan's also heavily involved in the local community here in Austin, having been a member and a commissioner on a number of city commissions.
He's also the Co-Founder of Good Politics, an organization which seeks to make the democratic process more approachable, human, and fun.
By now, I'm sure it's becoming quite evident to you that this is a man who is invested in helping his community and those around him, and I just know you're going to really enjoy listening in on our conversation.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
