When U come out the little guy takes over, confident and can throw a joke around here and there. The guy is responsible for my career,

Worked at Safeway. Enjoyed working there, one of his jobs was as being cashier. Did everything at the store.

Use to bag Sarah McLachlan groceries. She was incredibly kind to everyone she met. Most of the time she had a toque pulled down. Half the time no one recognized her.

Ryan and his wife have embraced charitable giving. So thoughtful and varied.

Where in ur life or ur wife's life did the inspiration to become so charitable?

Part of why I have been successful in my business life. Is because I have been somewhat self-aware, and I understand the idea when U extract a lot from a system U need to put some back in. Can’t safely say that I would enjoy my position in life if I wasn’t sharing it. Not just sharing wealth, but also power stepping a side where appropriate. Giving doesn’t change much for ur own personal situation, but it really feels great. Organizations that they give to, the organizations we support and the foundations that we create are usually something to do with sustainability, in communities, sustainability in infrastructure to create jobs for folks who don’t normally have access or opportunity for those jobs. That is the stuff I really love.

The Sick Kids Foundation. Does something for them every year.

Sharing is an investment their all-just investments. Might not necessarily return dollars to U but they will make the world a better place, makes Canada a better place. I grew up here I want to make it better
