  • Helping people Live a More Intentional Life with: Ryan Bennett

    What Does it mean to live intentionally? Ryan Bennett has made this his life’s mission to help people be very international about their lives and what we want out of them. He’s created A Proven Guide for Intentional Growth.  He got my start in business by operating a tech startup in Silicon Valley. After a few years of iterations and modest growth, he ended up in a familiar position as so many failed businesses, when he had to shutter the company. As he had an opportunity to intentionally reflect on that experience, he realized that the business can only go as far as I can lead it. Just like he would iterate a business, he needed to iterate himself first. This experience has changed his life and he committed to personal and professional development. After this experience, he was asked to be a founding team member of a tech Startup company again. He applied all he learned from my previous experience to help make this company a success. Over 7 years, Ryan helped to intentionally built Idle Smart from just an idea into a successful, venture backed brand with Fortune 500 clients. Taking what he learned from both my failures and successes, he now get to teach others how living intentionally is the only real way to turn failures into success. He joined me this week to discuss his journey and how he helps people live intentionally.  You can connect with Ryan by visiting http://ryanabennett.com/ and you can purchase his book at: https://theintentionalday.com/
