“We have been privileged to host talks by Ryan at LSE on several occasions in recent years. These have always attracted large audiences who have very much enjoyed Ryan’s talk and the chance to engage with him in the Q&A session. His talks have always been informative, entertaining and engaging which can be seen from how many people have listened to the podcasts!”
“Ryan captivated the audience with his electric visuals—both of images and videos from expeditions in Nepal, and beyond. Ryan’s natural interaction with the audience after his talk meant the enjoyable Q&A lasted long into the evening—a testimony to his ability to draw the crowd in and entertain.”
“In an ever changing and shrinking world, Ryan’s life’s journey of growth, change, adaptation and exploration is perfect message for today’s students.”
