Ryan Campbell - Around the World for a Pink Cadillac

Hello connectors,

Today’s guest is one of the most remarkable and inspirational people I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with: Ryan Campbell. At the age of 19, Ryan took flight in a single-engine aircraft and successfully became the youngest person to ever fly solo around the globe. Following a 24,000 nautical mile journey, Ryan's story was chronicled in his book Born to Fly, published a year later. As one of Australia’s top 50 explorers in history, Ryan enjoyed several years of stardom, living out his wildest dreams.

However, everything changed two years after the round-the-world trip, when Ryan suffered severe injuries in a crash involving a vintage aircraft. He spent the following five months in the hospital and 18 months in rehabilitation after being diagnosed as a paraplegic. Today we discuss his hardships, trials, and long journey toward physical and mental well being. He has so much to share about his journey and his recovery, but Ryan's most impactful lesson wasn't acquired during his 20 day solo flight or the accident and recovery, but rather through his "worst financial decision ever," a Pink Cadillac.

Join me in exploring his incredible story.
