“Mastering Intuition to Guide Success” feat. Tracey Ryans, Founder, Consultant & Speaker

This legendary Buddhist bon vivant, restauranteur, hotelier and serial entrepreneur’s only conscious memory of his mother is watching her grab her head and die of a brain aneurysm when he was five. Nevertheless, nearly 50 years later, Tracey Ryans' wondrous self-made empire of business, personal and spiritual success, has transformed this gregarious seeker into an arbiter of “cool” at the forefront of branding and creative activism. His wife calls him as a “pathological optimist” and his billion dollar smile fills any room he enters with hope (even virtually). The fifth guest in Swan Dive's Wide Awakes activation, Tracey's palpable hunger for human connection and civic joy is exactly what society needs to prioritize right now. Tracey shares how, not long ago, while he sat cross-legged for 14 days in an excruciatingly painful silent meditation, his mother visited him. Plain as day, Tracey watched her, as she sponged his aching shoulder (an old sports injury) with a cool cloth. What she said to him in that tender moment affirmed for Tracey that none of us are ever alone. And the time that we do spend alone can be the richest of all.

Tracey Ryans - Surfing Thermals - Legendary NY Restauranteur, Hotelier, Buddhist, Activist

In this latest episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast host Michael Shields sits down with activist, philanthropist, businessman, restaurateur, and practicing Buddhist Tracey Ryans for a wide-ranging interview that contemplates the unique moment in time we all inhabit. With a heavy focus on the unfolding global protests for equality and justice and against police violence and corruption, Michael and Tracey expound upon Tracey’s active role in the protests as a member of The Wide Awakes and The Black Beuys Collective. The Wide Awakes, who create in the name of liberation, are a community of critical voices from the fields of art, design, fashion, technology, media, film, music and spirituality aiming to radically reimagine the future and enable self-emancipation. The Black Beuys Collective is a racial justice organization that provides education and resources to help others productively fight against injustices in the world. Beyond his activism, Tracey is a stand up phenomenologist, a practitioner of Tai Chi and Soto Zen Buddhism, a co-owner of multiple long-standing New York restaurants (Miss Lilly’s &amp; La Esquina), and a member of the Hive Collective (which helps companies, nonprofits and individuals maximize their social impact while building their brands) — all of which is touched upon in this dynamic and enlightening episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
