* ABOUT HERO PROFILES * I've never met a boring human. Hero Profiles are where we sing the songs of excellence that are hidden in the hearts of everyday people. In order to effectively collaborate, we need to understand each other's Big Dreams and Superpowers. Dive in, be curious. Reach out if you can help, or if you think someone profiled here can help you!
I so appreciate Ryan and his film abilities. He can communicate clearly and had great ideas and then great skill. In the videos I have been a part of I'm always convinced I'll given him nothing to work with and will (rightfully) be on the editing room floor but Ryan works his magic and presents impactful and high quality work.
I've worked with Ryan and see a consistent output of work with a persistently impressive level of professionalism and captivating content over the course of years. In one of my own interviews for a project he was working on I was literally amazed that he edited it so masterfully to make me sound as good as he did, haha! I'm convinced he has a magic wand he secretly passes over every video he makes!
Thanks Alex - you are too funny. :) You had a lot of powerful things to say- it wasn't a matter of making you sound good- it was a matter of figuring out what to cut out- so much good stuff in there... :)

I've noticed that when people are working in their Superpower, it often feels like "magic" to the rest of us. What a gift! Thanks for sharing this, Alex!
I trusted Ryan Walters at one of those vulnerable moments… like standing- in-front-of-a-camera vulnerable moments. I was making a video recording for a presentation. I thought I had it all together until the slides I’d so confidently sent to Ryan failed miserably. I began to get just a anxious when Ryan grew very calm and quietly waited until I could relax enough to determine a way forward!
Ryan knows his craft well. He worked with me and allowed me space to be still. My nerves released and the success of the recording was due - not to me - but to Ryan’s competent professionalism and experience. He has this superpower!
I LOVE this tender snapshot of the emotional IQ that was needed to help you overcome obstacles and find an excellent outcome. This goes so far beyond technology, or strategy, or technical expertise. This is what happens when someone truly has a heart to help you tell you story. Thank you for sharing this, Leigh!
Thank you so much Leigh, it was a pleasure to help you through those moments and and an honor to hear what you had to share on camera. Your soft heart and touch are so needed to those experiencing grief. :)
This dude is legit. I’ve seen him in action, had coffee and conversation at local caffeine joints, been to his home, and seen many of the pieces he has orchestrated. His heart is genuine and the attention he pays to the person right in front of him is not hindered by a camera lens or computer screen. His technical skill is world-class and his expertise provides brand clarity through visually storytelling excellence. Ryan is the real deal.
Much appreciate my friend! And being able to work with talented creatives like yourself is so life giving and fuel to my fire. It is always a pleasure. :)
Thanks, Sarah! I know this one is close to your heart, because of your own "Superpower" with video production / project management! Hope you are doing well with the job search! Anybody out there -- keep an eye out for opportunities for Sara's organizational/nurturing gift for bringing order to chaos and creating systems that benefit institutions!

Marvin, thanks for that clarity and insight! You are also the real deal; can't wait to profile you in the future and share your creative/design gift!
