  About the Guest:

Ryan Tansom started his entrepreneurial career at his family business where he was the Executive VP and responsible for the strategic, operational, and financial strategy of the $21 Million company. By the age of 27, Ryan helped turn the company around and bring intentional focus to the right strategies which enabled it to be sold for 8 figures in 2014 to a local competitor.

Ryan took his experience and founded Arkona to create the Intentional Growth™ Framework which helps owners view – and run – their company like a financial asset through educational training and fractional CFO services. Ryan’s mission is to help entrepreneurs enjoy work, create wealth, and make an impact to make the journey “worth it”.

Ryan has personally guided over 400 entrepreneurs and leaders through the Intentional Growth™ Academy and also hosts the popular Intentional Growth™ podcast.
