Ryan Stream Motivational Speaker from Provo, UT

Ryan Stream is a TEDx speaker, retired U.S. Army two-time combat veteran, law enforcement officer, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and award-winning musician. Having overcome foster care, homelessness, addiction, and the loss of his mother to suicide, Ryan has built a life dedicated to helping others lead with resilience, confidence, and purpose. Ryan has spoken on more than 550 stages across 32 states, helped raise over $1.8 million in scholarships, and inspired audiences ranging from students and educators to corporations, military organizations, and government agencies. If you’re looking for a speaker who stands on a stage, clicks through a PowerPoint, and delivers information, Ryan is probably not your guy. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience that moves people to action, you’ve found him. Ryan takes audiences on a roller coaster of emotions through powerful storytelling, audience interaction, and live music, including playing the piano blindfolded and then in his back, while performing award-winning songs. Audiences laugh, cry, reflect, and leave inspired to become better leaders, parents, teammates, and human beings. But this isn’t just motivation. Every keynote is packed with practical strategies for building resilience, conquering self-doubt, increasing confidence, taking accountability, overcoming adversity, and leading yourself before leading others. Ryan’s journey has taken him from foster homes to Forbes magazine, from addiction to achievement, and from being told he may never fully recover from being crushed in semi-truck accident to running marathons, 100-mile race, and climbing to top of mountain within that same year!! His message is simple: “Be the hero in your own story and in the lives of others.”
