Learning to Love the Struggle with Chris Ryan

I’ve enjoyed the conversations that I’ve had with all of our podcast guests, but this one might qualify as the most fun so far. My guest for this episode is Chris Ryan, co-founder and CEO of Silverquicken.
Chris has an infectious and inspiring fascination with knowledge and learning. It’s led him to some impressive successes as a student and educator. He holds a degree in physics from Harvard and an MBA from Duke. He taught physics and chemistry to high school students. As a tutor and teacher with a top test prep company, he helped MBA candidates master the GMAT.
His new venture, Silverquicken, provides unique enrichment programs for students in 3rd through 8th grade. They’re taking resources that are usually reserved for students in gifted programs and making them available for anyone.
In this episode, Chris and I discuss the value of struggle—why we tend to view struggle as a negative thing, and why and how that should change.
Chris shares stories of his own struggles with procrastination and describes the systems that help him stay organized and productive.
He shares stories about wanting to control the wind, biking across Ireland, and using a stapler to make an emergency repair on a Ralph Lauren suit.
You’ll hear all of this and more in this week’s episode.
