As a humorous financial and mental health speaker, Colin's fusion of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and interactive discussion has drawn national attention, putting him on stage in all 50 states, speaking at companies, conferences, and universities. 

He has been named one of America's Top Ten Personal Finance Speakers, is a Certified Executive Coach, and has presented to more than one million people. His storytelling performances have been featured on PBS, NPR, The Moth Radio Hour, World Channel, and more. Reader's Digest featured his story, "Saved by the Belle," in its "Best Stories in America" collection.

Colin is the author of two books: A Comedic Guide to Money and Epic Tiny Victories, both written for audiences who would "never read a book" on personal finance or mental health, and both praised by practitioners for making behavioral change accessible and entertaining.

Colin brings his lived experience with mental health, resilience, and recovery to organizations and communities seeking to break stigma and foster authentic conversations. To learn more about his speaking work, visit www.colinryanspeaks.com.

Colin spends his downtime plunking piano keys, learning languages, making stuff, traveling, and watching movies. He is a brother, son, uncle, and friend, but he is most proud to be Lindsey's husband and Remy and Enzo's dog dad.
