RYAN CAMPBELL Global Keynote Speaker, Author, Owner of a Pink Cadillac
IS THE INEVITABLE BYPRODUCT OF BREATHING.
Every day, you and your people face constant challenges.
BIG
ONES
... like market volatility, changing technology, or the loss of a loved one.
And
Small
ONES
... like spilled coffee, tech issues, or one too many emails.
Pair that with the demands of work and life, and it’s no wonder employees everywhere are struggling.

are disengaged

are struggling with mental health —Gallup
They’re weighed down. They’re overwhelmed, and
THEY’RE RUNNING ON EMPTY.
But the solution isn’t doing LESS,
It's Doing
of the things that actually matter, that make them smile like a kid again
(what Ryan calls their Pink Cadillacs).
Because when your people step back and prioritize joy, they balance out the weight of adversity and refuel their capacity to thrive.
THE RESULT?
They show up stronger than ever—more energized, more connected, and ready to do their best work.
“A powerful, energizing, and unforgettable presentation.”
“‘What’s Your Pink Cadillac?’, was nothing short of inspiring. Ryan’s story of resilience, purpose, and redefining success captivated our audience from the moment he stepped on stage and left a lasting impact on our attendees. His message challenged us to look beyond the day-to-day and truly reflect on what drives us. A powerful, energizing, and unforgettable presentation.”
WHAT’S
YOUR PINK
CADILLAC?
Ryan’s greatest lesson was found in the joy sparked by his 1960 Pink Cadillac, the best “worst investment” of his life.
Despite his achievements and hard-earned masterclass in mental health, he was searching for more—only to discover he already had it. And so do your people.
Today, he reminds audiences of the life-changing power of joy with one simple question, “What’s Your Pink Cadillac?”
Ryan’s message is simple, but the results are transformative.
When you PRIORITIZE JOY, you create a balanced life, one that fuels the performance, wellbeing, and mental health we need to thrive.
...he’s equipped thousands of people to build lives and cultures of intentional joy.
Reclaiming what matters most, they don’t just overcome burnout.
They show up stronger, more connected, and more adaptable than ever.
“...we achieved results we never dreamed possible.”
“The last two-plus years shook everyone in our industry to our core. In the midst of these unprecedented challenges, we achieved results we never dreamed possible. Ryan’s pink Cadillac spirit has played a crucial role in this climb. Thank you, Ryan!”
ANDREW COLEMAN
THE PINK CADILLAC
Hilarious, heartwarming, and deeply human, Ryan's keynotes reignite your audience's joy and reveal they already have the power to build a balanced life—by making time for the moments that matter.
Because sustainable performance, wellbeing, and mental health aren’t found in a tougher mindset or a new way of working. They’re found in building an intentional life that prioritizes joy (which is why Ryan developed the JoyAudit).
Joy Audit
ASSESS
Find your Pink Cadillac
First, your people identify what brings them joy, reflect on how much of it is present in their life right now, and imagine what life could look like if joy were a consistent priority.
UNDERSTAND
Uncover the hidden power of joy
Next, they understand the 'why,' which allows them to stop treating joy as a bonus and start using it as a tool for well-being, energy, and resilience.
They then turn intention into design by making space for joy in their schedule, routines, and environment. They begin choosing how they want their time and energy to flow, before life chooses for them.
IMPLEMENT
Step back, show up stronger
Now, it's time to act. This stage is where clarity meets courage. Your people take the first step, reducing friction and building momentum by actually doing what fills their cup.
TETHER
Anchor joy to their life and to others
Tethering is about making joy a permanent part of life, not an afterthought. Your team will learn to do this in three ways:
- Prioritizing it regularly: Turn joy into a rhythm through small rituals like morning music, Friday walks, or a weekly creative hour.
- Inviting others in: Share joyful moments with people they care about, like cooking a favorite meal with a partner or hiking with a friend.
- Encouraging others: Use their own journey to spark someone else’s. Share their Pink Cadillac, start a conversation, or gift them the chance to do their own JoyAudit.
THE JOYAUDIT IN ACTION
As your leaders and teams use the JoyAudit, something extraordinary happens. They don’t just feel lighter, they become stronger—individually and together.
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS.
Individual employees become more aware of what they need in their lives to fuel their own performance, wellbeing, and mental health.
They take control of their time and energy to build a balanced life, intentionally stepping back so they can show up as their best self, no matter what happens.
As they prioritize joy for themselves, they begin encouraging each other to do the same, creating a sense of support, connection, and shared humanity that knits them together.
This collective joy transforms your organization into a place where people can do their best work. Teams support each other. Employees feel engaged and energized. The culture feels joyful. And every person feels empowered to thrive in their work and in their life.
“Ryan's story is a powerful one. What we got was so much more.”
“In this day and age of back-to-back Zoom meetings and less time spent together as colleagues, Ryan's 'Pink Cadillac' message was something our team took to heart. We learned more about each other, and most importantly, what was most important in our lives."
PETER ZINK, DIRECTOR, SALES ENABLEMENT, SPROUT SOCIAL
“I knew Ryan would be perfect for our conference, and he did not disappoint.”
“He was engaged with our attendees through the entire week, attending sessions and networking. His closing keynote was amazing. He made us laugh, he made us cry and he was real! I can't recommend him enough!”
KIM ROBERTSON, SHRM CONFERENCE CHAIR
“What sets Ryan apart from other speakers is not just his story, but how he tells his story.”
“He made it effortless to relate to him by exuding an energy that was genuine and spirited. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking to inspire their team to push past boundaries and soar to new heights.”
MADISON LOGIC
“Ryan Campbell was the best motivational speaker I have attended in my 16 years of conferences.”
“Everyone was wide-eyed and on the edge of their seats and left wanting more. He left us with “the pink Cadillac” discussion that we were able to take back to our teams and continue to discuss. Our team needed to hear his message. It was perfect!”
