💥 Just dropped: another episode of the CEO Insider Podcast! 🎤

Listen to this great discussion with CEO of YTexas Ed Curtis & CEO at Ryan Sanders Baseball, Inc. Reid Ryan as they talk about business, baseball, Texas, and what it was like creating the movie Facing Nolan, a movie about Nolan Ryan, Reid's father.

💙 But the heart of this Texas Story is in the generational impact of a success minded family. Here is a segment from the episode:

Ed Curtis: "We're talking about the movie, and I want to talk about you of course. And I want to talk about the family and the business because I think the Texas Story for you and for the family is your success in business."

Reid Ryan: "My dad was raised the youngest of 6 kids, depression era parents as you saw in the film. And his parent's goal was for all of their kids to get educations. All of my aunts and uncles have multiple college degrees . Several have been college professors and high school teachers. Very successful. My dad took very much the same approach that I have been given a gift with this right arm, a God-given gift, and it's up to me to maximize that to it's fullest. And anything less than that truly i think would be disrespectful to his parents and the sacrifices they made to be able to give their an opportunity to go on and do things that were better than them. So my brother, sister and I, have really felt the same way. To whom much is given, much is expected."
