When Ryan retired from the NFL after the 2016 season, he was ready to serve his community so others could have their Super Bowl moment.

Challenges

Having spent 10 years in the NFL, Ryan holds valuable insights into leadership, mindset, and team dynamics. He knows how successful teams operate both on and off the field. He also knows that many competent leaders lack this critical understanding of team dynamics. Ryan's insights were too valuable to sit idle, and Ryan knew he needed to make some serious moves to help business leaders build their championship teams.Ryan needed to create visibility for his message, but he didn’t know where or how to start.

How Flow Helped

Ryan began working with Flow to focus his message on two fundamental questions: What problem was his expertise solving and for whom? Ryan began building and positioning his digital platforms with his Flow team. He was a retired pro athlete and he needed his audience to recognize this transformation. (Ryan admits that after retiring, “I didn’t even have a LinkedIn account! Apparently you don't need one to win a Super Bowl.”)Ryan used his freshly-focused platforms to publish articles that captured his expertise and positioned it in a way that has enticed schools, entrepreneurs, and business leaders across the country. Through this process, Ryan was also able to secure a publishing deal for his forthcoming book and create a popular newsletter to grow his audience.

Results

Ryan used his digital platform to create a transition plan into his post-NFL life. He now enjoys the new titles of Keynote Speaker, On-Air Radio Broadcaster, Author, and Super Bowl Champion. Ryan focuses his talks on training business leaders to become high-performing individuals, helping create the team dynamics needed to drive peak performance.
