Ryan Mickle is passionate about companies that inspire. When he isn't writing about himself in the third person, he works behind the scenes at Triple Pundit, an independent business media company focused on business and technology that leave the world better off. He also founded a company in 2006 to connect people and inspiring, authentic businesses through social media and engaging stories. Ryan is a Cal bear, studied economics, and he loves traveling, running marathons (love may be too strong a word), yoga, and contributing to the gross national happiness (GNH) in business and otherwise.
