I had the honour and privilege to sit down and talk to, Ryan Pyle. Ryan and I had a comprehensive chat about his life and career up to the present date. Ryan spoke to me about how he initially fell in love with travelling. He told me that his mother was a travel agent, and his household always had magazines such as National Geographic, which got him curious about travelling at a young age. Ryan spoke to me about going off to university and studying International politics at the University of Toronto. His idea of studying this subject was a way of maybe working abroad and also gave him an interest in other countries. He also played basketball at a pretty high level whilst he was at university and did look at becoming a pro. During his second year in university, he told me that he had a slot on a Thursday at 2pm that he had to take a class to have a Friday off to play basketball, and he decided to take, Introduction to Modern China. That led to Ryan's interest in China. After getting his degree, and not making it as a basketball player, he decided he didn't want to hang around Toronto and see how his life played out and went to China on a 90-day trip. When he returned home, he decided that it was a place for him to go and live. This is where Ryan got into writing and photography and pursued a journalism career. During his time in the news media, he got his work published in some well-known publications, including the New York Times. He got mentored by Howard W. French of all people. When the 2008 financial crash happened, Ryan spoke to me about his transition from news media to television. He talked about it taking some time, and had to self-fund a few expeditions, but he eventually started working with the BBC, Discovery Channel and Amazon Prime. His shows include Expedition Asia, Extreme Treks and Tough Rides. We spoke about one of his journeys where he broke the Guinness World record for the longest motorcycle ride. Ryan has won numerous awards for his work in journalism and television. Most recently, his accolades have been at the Asian Acadamy Awards, which is the equivalent of the Emmy or the Bafta awards for his tv work. We also spoke about the future of television travel documentary, and what Ryan may have to do to continue his television career. Interestingly, we discussed how Ryan started shows on Instagram Live and then started a podcast. He said as a storyteller; he wanted to continue telling stories whilst in lockdown in 2020 and starting his shows online, was a way of doing this. As he couldn't get back to his home in Dubai, Ryan did all of this in Istanbul. The most memorable part of this was when he saved a kitten, becoming his pet cat, Whisky. Ryan also spoke to me about his public speaking and how he started that and why he loves doing it. He talked about doing a mix of paid and free talks. He is also an author, and has books such as, 'India Ride: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, One Incredible Adventure: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, an Incredible Adventure,' and the book which he recommends people pick up if you are going to read about him, 'Sacred Mountains of China: An Epic Human-Powered Adventure Through a Remote World.' As Ryan made his name in photography, I had to ask him about the state of photography today. He had an interesting viewpoint. We also talked about relationships, and whether it's possible to have one when you have a lifestyle like Ryan. It was a joy talking to Ryan. He was a true gentleman, and I can see why he has achieved so much in his career. I hope people watching this interview get inspired, and I look forward to seeing the next chapter on his journey.

He was born in Toronto and after a collegiate basketball career and graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in International Politics, Ryan decided to try his hand at international diplomacy by relocating to China.
