Consulting is broken. It's hard enough to find a quality strategic partner, but you also have to deal with big contracts, defined scopes, and negotiated timelines. And that's all before you even begin the work.
I offer something different.
In this setup, you have full autonomy to determine what you want Ryan to work on. No big contracts, scoping out service agreements, invoicing, and being pressured to buy more add-on services.
It’s always one month at a time, one thing at a time. It's consulting on your terms and schedule.

FAQs
How is this different than hiring a consultant?
The main difference is most customers want the ability to have Ryan do a variety of things that go beyond any one project. Consultants are typically bound to a defined project or initiative. In this setup, you have full autonomy to determine what you want Ryan to work on.
Also, no big contracts, scoping out service agreements, invoicing, and being pressured to buy more add-on services. It’s always one month at a time, one thing at a time.
How is this different than one of Ryan's courses?
Simply put, you’re hiring Ryan to do something for you. There’s a lot of things Ryan teaches, but this option is if you want Ryan to do the things. If that thing is teaching, Ryan will work hands-on with your team to apply any lessons directly to your work.
How is this different than a retainer?
With retainers, there’s defined scope and budget, but a lot of time waiting around too. That’s not fun for anyone in the end. This model is simpler; 20 hours of Ryan’s time for a calendar month. Use it or lose it.
How do I make requests for work?
I prefer using Notion, but I can use Trello, Google Docs, Loom, Jira or whatever other tools you’re using. Everything starts with a conversation because we’re all adults here.
Is this an actual subscription?
Yes. And, you can cancel at any time. It’s set up this way because most customers want to work with Ryan over consecutive months and Ryan likes working with teams over consecutive months. Subscriptions ensure existing customers have the option to keep working with Ryan.
Who does the work?
Ryan does it. It’s only Ryan. No subcontractors or anyone else will be involved.
How long will requests take?
It totally depends, but I’ll be straightforward with you. Generally, though, if requests require time with you or your team, those take longer than requests that Ryan just does on his own.
Are there things Ryan can't do?
Of course! If you want to know if Ryan can do something, book a 30-minute call first.
Are there refunds?
You can request 100% (minus Stripe fees) up to 24 hours before the first day of the month. After that, I do not provide refunds.
