"A legacy is not what you leave behind for someone, but rather what you leave behind IN someone"
We've Already Received. Thank You All!
And I'll never forget how Ryan took the time to sit down, look me in the eyes, & say to me "If everything gets your full attention, then NOTHING gets your full attention." That genuinely changed my life!

on his way home from the office. I was asleep and upon waking up I had received an incredible message of gratitude and encouragement.
Ryan & I never spoke on the phone so it was a big deal to me that he would call me. I still have that message saved on my phone to this day.

I will always remember his definition of “Legacy” …. It’s what you leave behind in someone.

While we would all be hanging out, RP would always come and specifically challenge me to a game of ping pong. I would end up hanging out with RP for a while instead of all of my friends as we played ping pong. We had a special bond because of that. I would always want to be on his team we he would join us in some game, specifically dunk ball. We bonded through sports and competing, and I always loved being around him and really looked up to him. **I don’t have a picture**

the first phone call we had he said to me “Belinda one day we will look back and this conversation will be the beginning of everything” A few years later from the stage in Perth Australia he referenced that phone call and said “Belinda, see it was the beginning of everything” to a room filled with 120 people from all over Australia. He taught me so much about leadership and my leadership mantle and how worthy I was. What he did for me and my family in our business transformed our lives, I’m forever in debt to him.

The photograph are some of the moments that I remember from Mr Ryan, the last day when I saw him he told me don’t worry and don’t give up and don’t listen to the negativity because you are smart and believe in yourself . and in the one photograph is with Mrs Becky and Mrs Jill and I . Thank you Mr Ryan for your amazing advice that you gave me that day
