  • Let your courageous flag fly free

    Loved Ryan’s conversation with my friends and mentors, Mike and Kass Lazerow. Ryan is able to dispense levity while getting to the heart of what makes his guests tick. And he makes his guests think rather than fawn over them. Hosts of all media types should take heed of his conversation style — he’s asking questions and covering topics he believes is interesting and his gift is allowing other people to listen.
