Ryan Foland

Ryan Foland, a master of authentic communication, empowers leaders to connect with clarity and confidence. As Director of the UC Irvine ANTrepreneur Center and owner of Ryan Speaks, he champions frameworks like permission-based pitching and the '313 sandwich' to help individuals craft compelling narratives. Ryan’s unique approach emphasizes human connection and the power of finding common ground, reminding us that people seek themselves in our stories. He guides others to stand out not by being generic but by being specific. He’s a proud ginger, a sailor, a speaker, an author, and he’s figured out the cheat code most people miss: the fastest way to stand out is to stop being generic and start being specific. His approach is a reminder that the advantage isn’t louder marketing; it’s cleaner communication, real connection, and the courage to be specific about who you are.
