At 19, while playing professional hockey in Canada, Ryan Phillips was introduced to the beginning of the B.C marijuana boom, and that perked his interest because of the large sums of wealth that could be accumulated in a short time. Hockey fell to the wayside and Ryan took his networking skills and used them by forming a smuggling ring that generated millions of dollars a year. His luck ran out after losing many associates to murder and substance abuse, he landed himself in a Federal Detention Center for over 500 days. The charge was conspiracy to import 103 pounds of the banned plant. Ryan learned a lot while incarcerated, most importantly how important our freedom is.

Now a three time Ted talk speaker, film maker and recognized humanitarian, Ryan shares with us his story of the darker side of professional hockey, drug smuggling, criminal lifestyle and ultimately redemption and personal growth.
