This week's guest on Rise Together is an incredibly inspiring individual. Ryan Blair is a serial entrepreneur and New York Times bestseller, who established his first company at age twenty-one and has since created and actively invested in multiple start-ups. As the CEO of ViSalus, he took the company from start-up to more than $1.6 billion in cumulative sales and was named Ernst & Young's 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year. His first book, Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain, was a number one New York Times bestseller, with the enticing subtitle, “The incredible story of a gang member who became a multimillionaire CEO”. Dave and Ryan have an amazing conversation about his journey, his work with National Angels, and how making space for you goals by eliminating obstacles and distractions can help you achieve a life you never dreamed of. -------- National Angels is working to ensure that every single child/youth who experiences foster care has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential and every family who fosters is radically supported in their journey.
