Ryan Paugh

A bunch of our YEC members, we had about 50 or 60 of them out there and it was just a great time skiing and talking and masterminding in a private circle about really hardcore business challenges that people, you know, won't necessarily talk about openly.

Sure.

Yeah.

So there's a, there's a fee to attend, um, our annual conferences, but most of our, um,

events throughout the year are baked into the membership fees.

Sure, you can do that through Ryan Paul on Twitter.

You can check out my website, ryanpaul.com, or you can send me an email, ryan at community.co.

I'm really accessible and happy to answer any questions.

Favorite business book is a book about Charlie Trotter, who's a famous restaurateur in Chicago.

It's Lessons in Excellence.

I'm not following any CEOs.

I'm just trying to write my own book and learn from my team.

I've got great people here that are teaching me more than I can learn from anyone else.

Right now, Slack is really dominating my team, and it's really changed the way we communicate, so I definitely have to say Slack.

No, I'm not getting eight hours of sleep.

That sounds like a good deal.

Man, what do I wish?

I wish that he was creating things earlier than he started doing it because it's a lot easier to do in your early 20s when you don't have the kind of responsibility that I have right now.

So just telling 20-year-old Ryan to start building stuff sooner and learning all the tricks of the trade before it gets more difficult.
