Meet Lani Dizon

We were lucky to catch up with Lani Dizon recently and have shared our conversation below.

Lani, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
Resilience isn’t just a skill; it’s become the very essence of my journey—a journey that began with profound loss but blossomed into a testament of strength and determination.

At the young age of 12, I was faced with the heart-wrenching loss of my father to cancer. This pivotal moment ignited a fire within me, a drive to make a meaningful difference in the realm of healthcare. Initially drawn to the field of medicine, I immersed myself in nursing programs and medical courses, eager to contribute to healing others.

Yet, as life often unfolds, my path took an unexpected turn. Fuelled by a passion for natural wellness, I embarked on a new venture, collaborating with scientists and formulators to develop pure wellness formulas aimed at enhancing lives worldwide. Over three decades, I’ve dedicated myself to building companies centered around holistic wellness and personal development, drawing on my own journey of overcoming challenges to inspire and empower others.

However, resilience isn’t born from success; it’s forged in the ordeal of adversity. Despite numerous struggles, doubts, and fears, I’ve learned to rise above challenges, focusing not on the obstacles but on the solutions. With each triumph over adversity, I have reaffirmed that challenges are merely perceptions.

Maintaining a healthy mindset has been the cornerstone of my resilience, providing clarity and fortitude to navigate even the toughest of storms. Embracing a life without limits empowers me to dream big, push boundaries, and relentlessly pursue excellence in all my endeavors.

Through it all, resilience has been my guiding light—a steadfast companion on a journey marked by challenges, triumphs, and endless possibilities.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
In 2011, an unexpected discovery altered the trajectory of my journey from health and wellness to cryptocurrency when I stumbled upon Bitcoin. I recognized its potential to revolutionize finance and empower individuals worldwide. Embracing this new frontier, I co-founded the RYO Project from Japan, dedicated to democratizing access to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, fostering financial autonomy for all around the world. The RYO Project was created to demystify cryptocurrency and simplify transactions for everyday life through our RYO Ecosystem, which encompasses:

– Our proprietary Life Wallet, a multifunction digital wallet that facilitates cryptocurrency transactions, simple transfers through chat and much more.

– Our innovative Global Mall eCommerce platform that allows anyone to shop for a variety of products and services using RYO, other cryptocurrencies or forms of payment.

– The first of its kind Crypto ATM Network that will be strategically placed across Japan in convenient locations. The Crypto ATMs allow anyone to buy or sell in a convenient form factor that is familiar and easy to use.

This user-friendly ecosystem embodies innovation, ease-of-use, and decentralization, addressing the barriers to cryptocurrency mass adoption.

Excitingly, our first global exchange listing is this month, and will be followed by additional listings on other exchanges. We are also proud to announce our role as the Official Title Sponsor of the Blockchain Futurist Conference, the largest blockchain event in Toronto, scheduled for August 13 & 14, 2024, marking our global launch.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The three qualities that stand out as pivotal in my journey to success are: maintaining a healthy mindset, embracing a life without limits, and staying true to authenticity.

Maintaining a healthy mindset has been foundational in my ability to approach challenges with clarity and resilience. It’s allowed me to navigate obstacles with unwavering determination, turning setbacks into opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Embracing a life without limits has empowered me to dream big and push boundaries. By recognizing when limitations are holding me back, I’ve learned to transcend them, consistently helping me achieve what I believe is possible.

Staying true to my core intuition and authenticity has been essential in fostering meaningful connections. By genuinely addressing the unmet needs of people, I’ve ensured that my efforts are purposeful, driving meaningful change and lasting value.

For those early in their journey, my advice is to cultivate resilience and maintain a ‘never give up’ attitude. Embrace every experience – whether success or setback – as a stepping stone toward your goals. Allow challenges to keep you determined and view each achievement as a valuable victory on your path. Remember, the growth, knowledge, and transformation that occur along your journey are just as important as reaching your destination – they mold who you become in the process. Stay true to yourself, and let your authenticity guide every step.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Since its inception, RYO has been committed to a bold vision that some deemed unattainable. Despite the skepticism, we have steadfastly pursued our mission for the past 7 years, with a singular focus: to bring cryptocurrency to the masses, as Bitcoin was intended to do. While the journey has been arduous, we’ve diligently built a solid infrastructure and a significant following in Japan who are highly anticipating the launch of the RYO Project.

Now, our focus shifts to global outreach. We are seeking collaboration with influencers and like-minded individuals who share our belief in democratizing access to cryptocurrency. If you’re passionate about our mission and eager to collaborate in spreading the word, we invite you to connect with us. Together, we can propel the cryptocurrency revolution forward and make a lasting impact on a global scale.
