Ryan Wilson

CO-FOUNDER, THE GATHERING SPOT

“Our culture reflects both our struggle and transcendence.”

 
 

What have you been working on? Gas yourself!
I’m working on opening our next location in LA and expanding TGS to new cities. This is an exciting season for us. All of the work right now is centered on supporting the membership and growing.

How does your culture inform your creative work?
I see myself as part of a powerful continuum of men and women that have poured so much into us. Our culture reflects both our struggle and transcendence. It’s about family. I’m inspired to show up everyday in that tradition. Doing this work is an honor.

What is your greatest struggle/challenge these days?
Everything connected to growth. Our team isn’t small anymore. We are operating in multiple time zones. Despite those challenges we have to show up authentically everywhere. Executing with excellence at scale is difficult.

What does community mean for you as a creative?
It’s everything. Our entire existence is connected to the community of people that believe in us. Community is where our work begins and will forever live. These are our folks. The people that make the dream a reality.

What inspires you in your creative process?
The people. Witnessing how beautiful our people are. What they accomplish. How we can hopefully be a point of inspiration. That is what drives me.

Is there anything happening in your community that you'd like to shed some light on?
We are opening The Gathering Spot LA!
