We had the good fortune of connecting with Ryan Zamudio and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ryan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I felt like I had reached the highest level I had any interest in achieving in my previous line of work! I wanted to shift my efforts into something new that was worth putting time into – something with near endless potential!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I got here practically making every mistake along the way, from my professional life, to my health, fitness and relationships. I got here because I never went for quick fixes in any aspect and wasn’t afraid to fail along the way. I do business they way I would want others to do so, and anything I can do to help those around me, I will do! You get back what you put out

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a sucker for a well-made cocktail at one of my favorite speakeasies! I’d take advantage of one of the many pools around the valley to catch some sun, go for some proper cocktails, and probably finish the night at some dive bar playing billiards. Let’s say, Hotel Adeline pool, Undertow for cocktails, and The Rack for billiards!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There’s too many people to name. I wouldn’t have achieved half of what I have without the continued support of those around me, but the special ones? They know who they are!
