On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ryder Pearce, the founder of Skip, a mission-driven company based in California that has helped over a million people get easier access to government-related services since 2016.
As a child, Ryder and his twin sister spent their days split evenly between their mother's and father’s houses, as their parents had separated early in their lives. Learning how to plan ahead for each day–what supplies they’d need, which books for school they would have to bring, what not to forget at one parent’s house that they might need at the other’s–instilled in Ryder an early appreciation for the importance of long-term thinking and resourcefulness. His involvement in sports throughout his childhood and teenage years further emphasized the benefits of being consistent and accountable in planning for the future. Through these early experiences, Ryder learned lessons that would become the foundation for his success as an entrepreneur in his adulthood.
In my discussion with Ryder, he reflects on his parents’ influence on his current-day values and the importance of being consistent in your goals to build future success. We discuss the impact that his participation in various sports teams has had on his definition of achievement and success and why it is so crucial to look for those silver linings when faced with setbacks.
