Speaking with Tribune Online, the PR expert, who has over two decades of experience under his belt and managed billions of dollars of marketing communication budget, disclosed some of the principles to his success.

“I want to make and have impact, and I believe that if you have a positive mind, it solves 95 percent of your problems. We are all susceptible to life, but if you live with positivity and gratitude and appreciation, life will be better.”

“Does it mean I’m positive every ounce of the day? No, but I believe in those core principles, and it keeps me going through,” says Ryan.
