We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ryan Young a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ryan, appreciate you joining us today. Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
After winning six straight pro national championships in the sport of Moto Trials, I started teaching Trials Schools and started a business importing Trials products from Europe into USA. After selling the import business 5 years ago, I started a new company Ryan You g Trials Schools, RYTS focuses on teaching Trials techniques to Trials and Enduro riders all across the USA and Canada.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

During my 25 years importing products and motorcycles, we sponsored and helped train dozens of Amateur and Pro Trials Riders winning dozens of National championships over the years.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
While teaching riders at a club in Kentucky, one rider who was a businessman approached my about starting an import bus business and he became the cofounder and we worked together for 25 years growing a very sizable company.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
After selling my import Bussiness after 25 years I had to pivot and start a new company focusing solely on teaching riders how to be better and safer riders using Trials techniques
