Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Ryan White

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Ryan White. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning Ryan, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
My first 90 minutes are about winning the morning so I can win the day. I wake up around 8:00 AM, spend a few quiet minutes in prayer and gratitude, then jump into a short home workout—usually bodyweight calisthenics or resistance band training in my garage gym. After that, I make my morning coffee and protein shake, and spend time with my wife and daughter before diving into business.

By 9:30 AM, I’m in full CEO mode—checking metrics, reviewing Smartlead campaign results, and scanning our cold email and Instagram systems to ensure everything’s running clean. Those first 90 minutes are designed to set the tone: mentally, physically, and operationally.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Ryan White, founder of Social Revelation Marketing—a premium social media growth agency trusted by over 3,000 brands, speakers, coaches, authors, and creators.

We help high-performing entrepreneurs build their 100K+ dream audience of raving fans so they can gain instant credibility, attract more opportunities, and increase their perceived authority online. I started this company in 2016 with zero connections and no social media following. I just had a belief: if I could reverse-engineer how attention works, I could help others build real influence—faster.

What makes us different? We build strategic visibility. Whether it’s our “Instant Credibility Engine” that accelerates growth for public figures, or our “Organic Influence Method” that builds niche-aligned communities, every system we run is built for trust, impact, and long-term positioning.

Right now, I’m focused on scaling through white-label partnerships and refining our outbound systems to keep filling the calendar with ideal-fit clients. We’ve got momentum—and we’re just getting started.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful was on a baseball field. I was maybe 10 years old. Small town. Packed bleachers. I slugged a walk-off base hit.

In that moment, I remember the roar of the crowd, my teammates rushing out, and something clicked: If I put in the reps, I can change the outcome. That feeling of being in control of my own results never left me.

Baseball eventually took me to the college level, but it also gave me the mental framework I now apply in business: discipline, consistency, and resilience. It taught me that power isn’t just about force—it’s about preparation. And that success isn’t luck—it’s earned.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Absolutely. In the early days of Social Revelation, I was running everything from my bedroom—no team, no funding, no playbook. Just a vision and relentless effort.

I remember hitting a point where I’d put in months of work with barely any traction. Bills were due. Leads weren’t converting. I questioned whether I had what it took or if I’d made a mistake chasing this dream.

But I reminded myself why I started: I wanted freedom—not just for me, but for my future family. I wanted to prove that you didn’t need connections or celebrity status to build influence. That belief kept me going, even when I had every reason to quit.

Looking back now, that season built the foundation. It taught me how to suffer productively—how to stay consistent when no one’s watching and no one’s clapping.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They’d say I care deeply about two things: faith and follow-through.

Faith—because that’s my foundation. It’s where I draw my peace, my purpose, and my standard for how I show up in business and in life. And follow-through—because I don’t believe in half-effort. If I say I’m going to do something, I’ll move mountains to get it done.

My close friends would also tell you I care about being real. Not just looking successful—but being someone my wife, daughter, and team can be proud of. I’m not perfect, but I’m always trying to live in alignment between what I believe and how I act.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say, “He made people believe again—about themselves, their dreams, and what’s possible when you stay consistent and live with purpose.”

More than followers or revenue, I want my legacy to be impact. I want to be remembered as a man who loved his family well, walked boldly in faith, and built something that helped thousands of others step into their own influence.

Whether it was through my company, my content, or a conversation no one saw, I hope people say I helped them think bigger, act braver, and never settle. That I didn’t just build a business—I helped people build belief.
