#64: Ryan Longmuir - The Depression of Ecstasy, Rave Culture, Drug Dealing, Arrest, and Starting a Multi-Million Dollar Catering Company | The Drug Dealers Series (Part 1 of 4)

Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Longmuir, founder of Regis Banqueting, a catering service that raked in 1.3 million euros back in 2016. But for Ryan, business and catering go far beyond bringing in money, which was his main aspiration when he sold thousands of pounds worth of drugs at 20 years old. How did Ryan flip from selling ecstasy pills to providing a renowned catering service? It took some moments of deep reckoning, a new commitment to faith, and definitely a huge leap of faith as well. Such moments also drove him to help others improve their own lives.

Ryan shares how passion and goodwill intertwined to get him out of a tumultuous and cyclical life and into one filled with meaning and love. Join us as we learn how kindness motivates entrepreneurship and can lead to triumphs over many challenges, in both life and business.
