Updates from Ryan at Crazy Enough To Try

Hey everyone,

It’s been a few months since my last update here at Crazy Enough To Try and lots has changed since then.

First off, Crazy Enough To Try is not going away. I’ll talk more in a bit about some upcoming changes, but I do love writing and sharing the stories of others doing amazing things, so that will continue.

On the personal front, I’ve done a few things to live a life in which I'm incorporating my passions. The biggest change was in my career. I left engineering and made the jump to strategy consulting. I’m still working with technology focused companies, but from a much different perspective.

The reason for this move was to gain insight into the inner workings of businesses from a higher level. My eventual goal is to start my own technology business and working with some of the brightest people I’ve ever met on difficult problems has been an eye-opening experience to some of the challenges I might face.

The transition hasn’t been seamless or easy, and I’ll write more about it in a future post, as I know some of you maybe considering a change in career. My hope is that by sharing some of the difficulties I faced, I’ll be able to shed some light on the process and help those of you thinking about it to make an informed decision.

Also, I’ve taken some of this time to think more about what I want Crazy Enough To Try to focus on. While I think it’s grown and morphed into something I didn’t even think of when I first started writing a year and a half ago, I think it still has plenty room to grow further. 

So to that end, I’m going to be opening up the blog to guest posts, posting more interviews, and continuing to branch out to bring you more outside resources. I’ll still be writing my own thoughts on passion and incorporating passion into our lives, but I want more voices, more opinions, and just more all around.

Thanks for being a loyal reader and I'm excited about growing together.

- Ryan
