00:00Canadian farmer Nelson Henderson said the true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose
00:04shade you do not expect to sit. When I think about Ryan, I think about how much of his life
00:08has been spent doing exactly that. In every industry he's touched, he's left something
00:12better than he found it. Funnier, more human, more meaningful, and somehow more Ryan. But I think his
00:18greatest impact isn't just the things he's made, it's in the things that he's helped grow, the
00:22communities he's been a part of, the people he's inspired. Wrexham is one example, but it's really
00:27just a reflection of something Ryan has been doing his whole life, planting seeds and helping
00:31build something that will outlast any one of us. So for Ryan's 50th birthday, I wanted to give him
00:36something that would keep growing long after the birthday candles had been blown out. 50 oak trees
00:41planted across the world in Los Angeles, New York, Canada, and Wales. An oak tree just like this one
00:47and this one. 50 small beginnings that with a little time and a little care will become something that
00:53will provide for generations. So happy 50th birthday, buddy. The world is a better place
00:57with you in it. Miss you. Love you. See you soon.
