“The moments that changed me most were never the ones I planned. They were the ones that taught me how experience, intention, and empathy shape who we become.”

Meet Ryan

Ryan Tiffin is a creative leader, storyteller, and author currently writing Chasing Magic, a book that explores leadership through lived experience, storytelling, and the intentional design of meaningful moments.

His career has spanned themed entertainment, hospitality, live events, government, and creative production, but the throughline has always been the same: experiences shape people, and leaders are responsible for the environments they create. Whether working behind the scenes or leading teams through moments of change, Ryan’s approach centers on empathy, clarity, and purpose over titles or optics.

Creativity has been a constant in Ryan’s life. Long before leadership became a calling, music was his language. As a DJ and producer, he learned how emotion, timing, and connection could transform a room. That understanding later translated into his professional work, influencing how he thinks about guest experience, storytelling, and culture-building across organizations.

Chasing Magic brings these worlds together. Part memoir and part leadership reflection, the book examines resilience, loss, reinvention, and the quiet power of designing experiences that make people feel seen. It is written for leaders, creatives, and anyone who believes that meaning is built intentionally, not accidentally.

Ryan’s work is guided by a simple belief: magic is not something you stumble into. It is something you choose to design, protect, and lead.
