Ryan Holiday is a very serious young man.

Want proof?  Okay…  Just do a Google Images search of Ryan’s name, and you’ll see picture after picture, out there on the web, that show a super serious twenty-something year old.

Of course, as the best selling author of three books (by age 27), a marketing specialist who’s helped promote Tucker Max, James Altucher, and Tim Ferriss, AND as the former Head of Marketing for American Apparel (a title he assumed at age 21), Ryan has every reason to be serious.

But I’ve met Ryan.

I’ve had breakfast with Ryan and his wonderful wife.

Ryan’s a serious guy…  But he’s also a pretty happy guy, especially when he’s with his spouse.

This photo was taken, with his wife sitting right next to him.

A damn happy guy.
