How Relationships Shape Your Whole Life - Ryan Foss

Can you build a career without ever sending a resume? I sat down with New York consultant and serial founder Ryan Foss, who says every job he has had came from someone saying "Ryan, meet this person."

Ryan grew up between Cyprus and Connecticut, went to rehab at 20 and has been sober for more than ten years. We get into the tech build that cost his last startup around $600,000, why no startup needs a chief financial officer (CFO) before Series A, helping a creator house in LA grow to about a million followers in 60 days, and how one snack founder bought Facebook groups to learn what her customers wanted.

He also shares the habit he has kept for ten years, one piece of outreach a day, and the line from recovery that changed how he sees people: you're not bad, you're sick and need to get well.
