When I first heard about Ryan Espjerg and Flex Your Face, I found the excitement, positivity and magnetism around Ryan and his engaging presence captivating. Ryan sat down with me one day and explained what this movement around smiling was all about - it is a brilliant way to spread happiness, gratitude and just help people to uplift their own lives and the lives of others. It is my hope that more of us now have the inspiration and courage to do what Ryan has done to bring light and joy to the world.

Be sure to listen at 26:50 about the shift in our world that’s happening to help youth grow up with the belief that they are capable of creating anything they wish, with entrepreneurial skills developed from birth, in spite of standardized testing in schools that doesn’t encourage this.
