SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY

Ryan McCarty is an author, speaker and the co-founder of Culture of Good, Inc.

Culture of Good teaches for-profit companies how to operate their business with the soul of a non-profit to drive their business toward greater success.

Ryan is the author of Build a Culture of Good: Unleash Results By Letting Your Employees Bring Their Soul To Work. His work has been featured in Huffington Post, Inc.com, People, Forbes and more. He is also featured on podcasts regularly for his profound message on how to operate your business and live your life with a soul.

Ryan began his career as a full-time minister leading non-profit organizations for more than 20 years before becoming director of customer and employee relations at TCC, one of the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Wireless Retailers. During his time at TCC, Ryan launched and created Culture of Good, a movement that enabled the wireless retailer’s 3,000 employees to give back in all 850 communities in which they exist. The Culture of Good inspires employees, ignites positive change in the world, and impacts a company’s bottom line. Ryan’s work during his five years at TCC drove financial results for the company, reduced employee turnover and truly built a Culture of Good within TCC.

Ryan bases his work on the principle that profit isn’t evil. He believes every leader and employee can leverage their daily work to discover their life calling by making the world better and meeting the needs of others. As Ryan’s book exhibits, the difference between a corporate social responsibility program and a Culture of Good is that the latter is the emotional operating system that becomes the business’ DNA. A Culture of Good can drive a business toward greater success, inspiring their employees, customers and communities, and connecting to a greater purpose that can empower all their stakeholders to do more good.
