Hey.
Hey, everybody. Hi, besties and yetis.
How are you?
Are we sitting? Am I standing? I don't know what to do.
We're sitting. We're sitting.
Okay.
Have you managed to watch any of the show? Our show?
Your show? We've been watching your show. My show I watch only, exclusively, all day, every day. Your show a little bit, yeah.
No, that's fair. But it's good you watch your show every day because it's kind of like game tape. Because the cool thing we love about Ryan is that Ryan didn't start as like some business MBA grad. Ryan's a theater kid. Yeah.
Yes.
So you grew up just outside of Boston.
Yes.
You went to a NESCAC school like we did.
Yes.
You're a CACer. And you went to performing arts camp when you were a kid. Yeah. Can you tell us what did you learn about performing arts that helps you with real estate? And can you put it in the format of a cringy LinkedIn post?
Yeah, I was born in Texas, and then I grew up outside Boston. I have three sisters and two brothers, and they're all in finance, except for me. And I just like telling stories and pretending to be other people. I think because I was very overweight, and I had rash acne growing up, and we moved eight times before I hit fourth grade, and so I always had to make new friends. And the theater kids... or really weird, and so was I, and it was just a, it was a much more comfortable environment for me to be in, and I'm not really good with balls. I don't mean, I'm not throwing. Throwing balls.
Thanks for sprinkling on the context.
That's what I mean. And so like, I didn't have the arm, and so sports, and I also like, I hate wasting time, even when I was a little kid, and so like, going out on the baseball field when I was like in third grade, I'm like, I'm not going pro, so why would I do this? Like this is a waste of my time. Football, like every sport. Sounds like fun wasn't happening. No, I like having fun. I'm a good fucking time. I just don't like unproductive fun. You know, life is short. And so I did theater and then I went to Hamilton in upstate New York. And my dad said I had to have like a real major. And so I chose English literature, which is a, A rough language for me. But then I've written three books since then because Hamilton's a writing intensive school.
And so you have to write all day, every day. It's a lot.
