Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, Ryan! May your special day be filled with more joy than a viral marketing campaign and fewer obstacles than traditional advertising. You've shown us that growth hacking isn't just the future—it's practically an Olympic sport, and you're holding all the gold medals.

From shaking up American Apparel's strategy to penning books that make classic marketers rethink their entire existence, you've truly mastered turning conventional wisdom upside down. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and perhaps another bestseller or two—to further prove that old-school ads belong in museums rather than boardrooms. Cheers!
