Ryan Stramrood
Western Cape
Ryan Stramrood has undertaken some of the world’s toughest and most deadly swimming challenges, pioneered others and has become a master of mindset, setting the bar of human endurance a notch higher often in the most hostile environments.
Ryan’s keynotes take the shape of breath-taking, fascinating stories crafted to evoke unadulterated inspiration and emotion.
As a brilliant storyteller, his sessions deliver unique insight into the power of our minds, our behaviours, our reactions and our abilities in the most difficult of environments.
Through his frequent exposure to deadly ice water situations and survival thereof, Ryan unlocked a unique understanding of the mind. Not just an understanding on how powerful it is, but rather opens eyes in a very entertaining way to some great paradoxes we deal with subconsciously and which ultimately steer us 'comfortably' through life.
