My name is Ryan. I’m a dad, a loyal friend, an artist and community advocate, and I spend most of my time studying people and human systems -- constantly deconstructing the status quo, pushing the boundaries, and searching for a better way to do things — especially in the workplace.

I have the privilege of leading the absolute best collection of creative human beings on the planet. It all happens at a music agency I’ve built called Marmoset. It's my sandbox.

The aim of this journal is to share some of the more fascinating and impactful experiences of my journey. And moreover, to share a new way of leading and achieving high performance among teams of people. I call it Nurture Theory and over time, I will distill it all here.
