Ryan Stieg started down the path of passive investing like many of us did, after he picked up a little purple book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The problem was that he did that in college and didn't take action on it to start investing passively until many years later when that itch to invest passively crept back up.  

Since 2016, Ryan has focused (or should we say lack thereof) on all different kinds of investing, always returning to real estate and business as his mainstay. Ryan has a small portfolio of one to three-unit rentals across five markets in the US. He has also invested in over forty real estate syndication investments individually or with an investment group he co-founded with fellow Infielder and Left Field Investor Jim Pfeifer. Besides that, Ryan has investments in note funds, mobile home park funds, life settlements, a development project, cryptocurrency, and other items that further cement his self-diagnosis of "shiny object syndrome".  

However, with all of those reaches over the years, Ryan still believes in the long term success and tenets of passive, cash flow-focused, investing with proven syndicators and shared knowledge in investing.  

When he is not working on passive investments, he is working on another new venture starting a Club Pilates franchise in his hometown, or he can be found with his wife watching whatever sport one of their two boys is involved in during that particular season.
