On Wednesday, April 9 Yakima Valley College hosts nationally-recognized author and speaker Colin Ryan for talks to students on both the Yakima and Grandview campuses. His presentation, “A Humorous Guide to Money and Wellbeing,” will help students understand financial literacy and provide insight into overall wellbeing.
Featured everywhere from NPR to Moth Radio Hour and Reader’s Digest, Ryan is a nationally
in-demand, award-winning comedic financial speaker, author and educator. He has spoken
to over 500,000 students and adults across North America. Ryan is the author of “A
Comedic Guide to Money,” a practical gateway guide to personal finance and our relationship
to money.
Ryan teaches people the money and career skills they’ll need to reach their dream.
He uses humanizing honesty, powerful storytelling, pop culture touchstones, and a
truly inspirational message to transform the dry subject of personal finance into
an interactive conversation around one core idea: your ability to manage your money
directly affects your ability to have the life you want.
