From Startups and Success to Burnout: A 15-Year Entrepreneurial Journey.
Only 2.3% of businesses successfully scale beyond $10 million.
And of those, even fewer manage to succeed in building 4 successful companies in a 15 year period. But that’s exactly what Ryan Trainor has done.
Since the age of 24 Ryan has founded and led or co-founded, a labor force company, three successful education businesses and the largest video game and entertainment venues business in the southern hemisphere.
But these sorts of achievements unfortunately can take a significant toll on your physical health and your relationships with those around you.
Ryan, after burning out in 2022, realised he had to take a look at how he was managing his ambitions, his health and his relationships.
You’ll love hearing both the strategies that helped him succeed as a serial entrepreneur, and how he’s grappling with the impacts of his burnout.
