Success. Some inherit it. Others chase it. But the rare few create it through vision and perseverance.
Meet Jim Ryan. The son of a Waldorf-Astoria professional who taught him that true character matters more than the size of your wallet. When corporate restructuring ended his AT&T career, he saw an opportunity where others saw setbacks. In a world of instant gratification and quick wins, he built something meaningful - a global company of 2,000 people who connect humans in an increasingly disconnected world.
This isn't just another business story. This is about seeing opportunity in change, about building lasting value in a fast-moving world. It's about someone who saw beyond the conventional wisdom of what a business should be, creating innovative solutions for how people connect.
Join us for an hour of unfiltered conversation about:
- The art of turning setbacks into opportunities
- Why the traditional path isn't always the right one
- The evolution from voice to digital, and why humanity still matters
- How mentorship shapes the next generation
- The future of business in South Florida's growing tech scene
