Building Brands: Jeff Ryznar's Journey Through Loss, Life's Pivots, and the Power of 898

Описание: FAILING FORWARD PODCAST – EPISODE 15 🎙️

In this episode of Failing Forward, host Tim Petrey sits down with Jeff Ryznar, Founder and President of 898 Marketing — a nationally recognized agency built on service, integrity, and doing the right thing, no matter what.

Jeff’s journey spans global ad agencies, professional sports, Silicon Valley startups, and ultimately a return home to build something meaningful. Along the way, failure showed up in unexpected moments — cutting a honeymoon short, walking away from “dream jobs,” redefining success, and learning that career wins don’t always equal life wins.

In our conversation, we dive into:
• The failures that shaped Jeff’s career and personal priorities
• Why walking away from success can be the hardest — and right — decision
• How loss, grief, and belief led to the creation of 898 Marketing
• Redefining success beyond titles, recognition, and growth charts
• The role of partnership, family, and integrity in long-term leadership
• Teaching failure, resilience, and perspective to the next generation

This episode is a reminder that failure doesn’t define you — how you respond to it does.
