After decades of living life on auto-pilot, Ryan’s soul could take no more. Life had to have meaning, and in August of 2008, armed with just his laptop and one webcam, the inspirational talk show “Wake UP! Explore your Passion” was born. Ryan’s mission: to help others find the very thing his own life had been missing – purpose.

Step by tiny step the show and its audience began to grow. Gradually adding new cameras, computers, cast and crew members, “Wake UP! Explore your Passion” celebrated its 19th webisode in a fully-functional internet studio broadcasting LIVE from Ryan’s own bedroom.

But it didn’t end there. Fueled by his own passion, Ryan continued to reach higher and higher until one day he found a place for his show on the airwaves. On April 3, 2009, “Wake UP! Explore your Passion” began broadcasting LIVE from a brand new set and professional television studio in the Los Angeles, CA area, catering to a local TV market as well as his already established base of internet viewers.

In such a short time Ryan has come a long way in accomplishing his dream of inspiring people to live their lives with purpose. What he has planned for the upcoming year, though, is even more ambitious. By July 2010 it is the full intention of Ryan and his crew to be reaching millions of people through nationally syndicated television.

Ryan believes in a new world; a world where only meaningful jobs exist, passion for living is infectious and everyone finds purpose and joy in their daily work.
