About
Ryan (Ra) James
Ryan (Ra for short), is a regenerative systems change trailblazer shifting business worldview and mindset to embody the changes that the future is requiring of us by transcending the trapped conditionings of business-as-usual altogether. He brings together various disciplines including linguistics, animism & kinship, ecological economics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and traditional Indigenous knowledge systems to orient us with post-anthropocentric approaches to systems change, business and law.
Over the last 14 years, Ryan has traveled and worked in over fifty-five countries on six continents. While on this journey, he was (and still is) mentored by various elders and cultural guardians of Original Peoples who shared with him their wisdom of seeing and being in the world. His current work focuses on integrating the intersectional, creating the purposeful and simplifying the complexities of creating purposeful, evolutionary, relational, regenerative and pluriversal futures.
He speaks & works worldwide with individuals, businesses, non-profits, educational institutions and governments to revitalize a worldview of inter-being while designing innovative & adaptive systems rooted in pragmatic solutions for applied action.
Speaking
Featured TEDx Talk
Ryan has spoken with dozens of businesses, educational institutions and summits focusing on integrating transformational ancestral wisdom into our modern contexts to prepare and transform businesses into the next paradigm of future-ready leadership.
He illuminates the unseen parts of our individual and collective mindsets that continue to create compartmentalized systems of degeneration in the effort to rebalance human life with Earth. He does this through simplifying complex topics, sharing about regenerative and cultural life-ways, bringing coherence into our relationships and reverse engineering a future worth living in.
My core inquiry:
Transformative business models of value arise from the synergy of fearless imagination, relational intelligence, cultural wisdom, and radical creativity.
