Most businesses lose money because of friction—broken systems, poor communication, and leadership blind spots.
Imagine working in sales where every conversation feels like pushing a boulder uphill. That was Ryan Chute’s reality in retail and automotive sales. Friction at every turn—between leadership, employees, and customers—made growth nearly impossible.
But Ryan refused to accept “that’s just how it is.” He discovered that by removing friction—simplifying communication, aligning company values with actions, and designing smarter systems—businesses could transform overnight. Today, as a partner at Wizard of Ads, Ryan helps companies achieve frictionless growth that multiplies revenue, loyalty, and team performance.
In this Knack 4 Business episode, Ryan brings his storytelling gifts and hard-earned lessons to show you how even small fixes can unlock big wins.
