Project Description
Ryan Campbell
Resilience Keynote Speaker, World Record Breaking Pilot, Plane Crash Survivor, Owner of a Pink Cadillac
At just 19, Ryan became the youngest person and first teenager to fly solo around the world – 24,000 nautical miles, 35 stops and 15 countries. A Guinness World Record breaking adventure that led to the title of one of Australia’s 50 Greatest Explorers.
At 20, Ryan became an author with the release of Born to Fly, the bestselling story of the teenagers global expedition.
Two short years later, Ryan was diagnosed a paraplegic following a serious plane crash.
Ryan endured 6 months in a hospital spinal rehabilitation ward. What followed was a year and a half long journey back to not only his feet, but the air.
Ryan’s recovery was fueled by an unexpected lesson found in an unexpected place – the purchase of an Elvis inspired 1960 Pink Cadillac. As a full time keynote speaker, Ryan now helps others find and prioritize their own Pink Cadillacs, uncovering the immeasurable power hidden within our hobbies, interests, and simple pleasures.
