Ryan Long
Ryan Long was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Throughout his childhood he was presented with many difficult obstacles. Born with a club foot, being raised in poverty and the death of his Grandfather by suicide led Ryan into a path of unconscious success. He produced and promoted events that weren’t serving his spirit which landed him at Grandma’s without a job and without love. This was Ryan’s time of transformation and re-programming via keeping his head in self help and success books. In 2014, the concept of the City Gala was born in order to assist startup, non-profits obtain seed funding so that they could launch into a full fledge business. The idea was to bring highly visible, and influential individuals to speak on behalf of the charitable organizations, and attract large donors and sponsors. The City Gala has featured speakers and honorees such as Sir Richard Branson, Sean Combs, Jane Seymour, John Travolta, and Halle Berry.
