"The force of character is cumulative" -Emerson
Professional Bio: Having launched his career as an entrepreneur in 1998 – at the age of twenty – Ryan Blair has since earned a reputation as a technology pioneer and expert marketer, creating six successful companies and investing in several others the last decade. As founder and chairman of his latest venture, PathConnect, Inc, he focuses on business development, strategic partnerships, financing strategies and creative initiatives for its social networking flagship, PathConnect.com, as well as its partner companies. They include actress Jessica Biel’s Make the Difference Network and champion alpine skier Bode Miller’s online ski/snowboard community site, SkiSpace, and mobile blogging pioneer FragMob. Blair launched PathConnect in August 2006 a year after facilitating the merger between wellness startup ViSalus, a manufacturer and marketer of nutraceutical supplements, and the leadership advising firm Fusion. He subsequently served as CEO of the combined company and led it to become one of the fastest growing ventures in the U.S. Previously he founded SkyPipeline, which provided high-speed wireless broadband service to businesses. He sold SkyPipeline in 2004 in a $25 million transaction to NextWeb, a company sold to Covad Communications the following year. While still a student at California Lutheran University, Blair launched his first business, the technical support venture 24x7 Tech, which he built into a million-dollar business within its first 18 months. The youngest of six children raised in poverty by a single mother, the California-born Blair has since become a coveted success expert, delivering well over 500 keynote speeches and guesting on such TV shows as “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch,” MSNBC’s “Your Business” and Fox News, and Fox Business Channel’s “Happy Hour.” A contributing author to the inspirational book Power of Mentorship, Vol. II, he is currently penning his own life story, to be entitled Faith of the Dots. Blair has also been generous with his resources, devoting time and money toward youth-related philanthropy and other charities benefiting the underprivileged.

If you could dissect my personal creed into 20 pieces of hard won wisdom, this is what it would look like. These are my 20 rules to live by: 1. Pray. Express your gratitude daily for your family and friends. Repent and ask for the opportunity to live with purpose, develop great skill, display great talent, live with wisdom and contribute to the world. 2. Maintain Health and Fitness. Eat right, supplement your diet, and work out a minimum of three times per week to maximize your energy and prevent illness. 3. Strive to be a better friend and family member. 4. Connect with mentors, thought leaders and people who believe in you, raise you up and make you better. 5. Create an environment of greatness. Surround yourself with inspiration: great books, art, music and movies. 6. Reflect and Refine constantly, recharge consistently. Care for and maintain your life. 7. Live in the external, study and cultivate the internal. 8. Create experiences that leave you feeling in awe. These events are the highlights of your life. 9. Know yourself. Identify your strengths and play to them. 10. Take responsibility for everything, even your existence. 11. Be genuine. Live a heart centered life. You should fall in love with something about every person you talk to. 12. Treat all Time as your greatest asset. It’s a non-renewable resource. 13. Seek to achieve your personal best. 14. Create a cushion, so you’ll have a soft landing when you slip and fall. 15. Become a master at doing good, become great at giving. 16. Be a student first and a teacher always. 17. Admire something about everyone you meet. Seeing the higher qualities in others helps you find the reflection of them in yourself. 18. Practice being a good listener. 19. Sow and Reap. The seeds for the future are already within you. 20. Aim high!

I have at least 30 people that have given me wisdom and advice that I have used to become a better person. Some of my mentors spent more time with me than others. Some I learned from only once, but they will have forever contributed to my life. My mother was the first, my step father the second (without her and him I would not be the same person I am today), my first technology and entrepreneurial mentor, my third, a venture capitalist. There have been countless others that have followed them. These people changed my life and are still changing my life today. My partners, and the people who support our cause are icons in my eyes.
Erla Hunt, JFK, Ab Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Ben Franklin,

Hi Ryan, how are you doing!? Is there any way that I could read your article in "Men's Fitness"? The one you have posted on your profile is very small, I can't read it all, and I really would love to...please let me know. It is good to know that you're staying healthy. I run all the time, I ran 2 miles today in 100 degrees weather, can you believe that!? I hope to hear from you soon...and by the way, I hope to be meeting you one day in person. Check out my blogs. Sincerely, Miss E! SMILE

Hello Mr. Blair, I had the pleasure of hearing you speak when you were in Jacksonville, Fl (6-30-08) Your words were very encouraging, and for the first time, I could see myself continuing on with my entrepreneural goals. Thanks for the words of advice, and maybe one day I can shake your hand. Stay great!!

Ryan, My man...thank you for your support in helping me cross the finish line to PD in June. I was taken aback by your message on the rally call that Blake and JayMo put together at the end of the month. I certainly didn't ask for the call and was unsure what to expect. Your message was very inspirational. I must have gotten 12+ calls from people on the team saying that they wouldn't let me down. My big realization was that I couldn't let them down. I had to cross the finish line. I must say that I only celebrated for about 5 mins. I am happy with the accomplishment, but won't quit running until I have 3*Star AMB knocked out. Next stop...AMB!!! All the best, Justin P.S. I am wholly looking forward to the John Wooden luncheon next week as well as your b-day party.

Ry- Thank you once again for continuing to go above and beyond what's required to reward your leadership with unforgettable life experiences. You see, most people in your financial position put themselves first and what makes you an extraordinary individual is that you want to take as many people as humanly possible along with you. Coach John Wooden is an Icon in American History and the fact that you would put an opportunity on the table to meet him speaks volumes to who you are as a person and for that I thank you! It's an honour to be called your business partner, your student, and your friend! Pete

Thanks again for your continued support Ryan. The Elite Elements in Grand Rapids this past weekend may have well been a tipping point in my career and my life. See you in Hollywood for your birthday! M

Hey Ryan, Thanks for meeting with us in Jacksonville the other day (Saturday). This is Mike from Atlanta, part of Lucero's group. You've been a huge help. So has Nick, Blake, Tony and Pete. Hang onto your hat! Welcome the Tampa/Saint Petersburg market to the 'map'.

Ready for your next Ambassador? Just wanted to say that you and ViSalus have helped me realize that dreams really do come true, and with the right tools, support and mindset -- God willing, all things are possible!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity, foundation and belief in myself, even when I didn't have it, to go out and impact others and in turn change my life forever. As a now "retired from the corporate grind" single mom, I forgot to thank you personnally for giving my little girl her mommy back. Thanks again & God Bless -- Cheri Hays (you're first single mom AMB!!!!)
