Ryan spent over a decade in basketball, from student manager at Baylor to Chief of Staff with the Phoenix Suns, before joining Shore nine months ago. He shares how first-principle problem-solving became the common thread across every career he has built, why the shift from the zero-sum world of professional sports to private equity changes how teams operate, and how that same builder mindset now drives Shore's internal AI enablement efforts. Ryan also discusses why AI is a platform-level shift, not just an operational initiative, and what it takes to build something transformational from the ground up. Key Takeaways: First-principle problem-solving makes skills transferable across industries. Break any challenge into its parts, and the path forward becomes clear. AI is not a tool. It is a platform-level shift, and the organizations building AI capability now are building a durable advantage. Talent wins games. Coordination wins championships. The real challenge is aligning people, roles, and resources toward a shared mission. Focus is a discipline, not a default. In an unbounded environment, saying no to good ideas is what protects your ability to execute on the right ones.
