Ryan Yockey
Founder, Executive Coach & LinkedIn Creator
Ryan Yockey — five companies founded, multiple exits, businesses worth over a billion dollars — shares why he walked away from the corporate path at its peak, how he grew from 1,200 to 145,000 LinkedIn followers in 16 months, and how he coaches the people he used to be.
Ownership is the rarest hire. Raised in a military household on extreme ownership, Ryan interviews with real problems and hires for culture fit, mission alignment, and people smarter than himself — an A player outplays a B player 10x.
The hook is 90% of the post. He grew from 1,200 to 145,000 LinkedIn followers in 16 months by engineering hooks like an experiment — a great first line outperforms a bad one 100x on a platform where readers scroll 300 feet a day.
The boomerpreneur wave is coming. Executives aged out at 55 have 30 productive years left: one auto designer he coached now consults for Tesla and Bugatti working 8-10 hours a week.
Builders never stop building. Through 15 years of corporate roles he was always hacking on something — and his reset after leaving was a desert retreat, not a bigger title.
