Episode Title: Moab 240 & the Mindset of Doing Hard Things with Christine O’Hara Ryan (Ep. 114)

By |

What does it take to run 240 miles through storms, sleep deprivation, mountains, desert nights, and total isolation, while raising two kids and leading a fast-growing career in healthcare? 

Christine O’Hara Ryan joins the WealthStyle Podcast to share the truth behind completing the Moab 240, one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, and how the experience reshaped her perspective on leadership, parenting, focus, and what we are capable of when we decide to move forward with intention.

Christine explains how she trained for nearly a year around work and parenting, the storms that nearly stopped the race, the hallucinations, the fear, the support team that helped her push through the darkest stretches, and why she crossed the finish line with only fifteen minutes to spare. Her story is not just about endurance. It is about clarity, discipline, and the small steps that move every part of life forward.

What listeners can expect in this episode:

  • How Christine balanced nine months of training with parenting, leadership, and a demanding career
  • What really happens inside a 240-mile ultramarathon, from weather breakdowns to sleep deprivation to hallucinations
  • Why grit, discipline, and micro wins matter more than motivation
  • Lessons from Moab that translate directly into family life, business, and personal growth
  • And more!

Christine O’Hara Ryan is a leader who knows what it means to go the distance — in business, in sport, and in life. A senior sales leader and ultra-endurance athlete, she has built a career transforming teams, elevating leaders, and driving meaningful growth across healthcare, medtech, and high-growth startups. She is known for bringing clarity to chaos, inspiring high performance, and building mission-driven cultures that move with both urgency and heart.

 

In 2025, Christine completed the MOAB 240 — one of the toughest ultramarathons on the planet — crossing the finish line as the final official runner after five relentless days on the trail. Her endurance journey spans Ironmans, Mt. Kilimanjaro, collegiate hockey, and numerous ultra-distance events. She draws on these experiences to teach leaders how to cultivate resilience, lead with purpose, and stay committed when the path gets steep.

 

Christine’s message is simple: grit is built, not born — and anyone can rewrite what they believe is possible. At the core of her approach is focus — the courage to choose what matters most and the discipline to let go of everything that doesn’t. Her leadership philosophy is shaped by long hours training alone on the trail: pace yourself, trust your team, stay present, and keep moving forward, one mile at a time.

 

Most of all, Christine is a mom of two young kids — her greatest motivation and constant reminder that courage is contagious, and that bold lives are built by showing up, again and again, with heart.

What Most People Overlook in Divorce Planning with Meg Priest (Ep. 113)

What Most People Overlook in Divorce Planning with Meg Priest (Ep. 113)

By |

Divorce is one of the most emotional and confusing transitions someone can face, and most people are not prepared for how overwhelming the process can feel. 

Iván Watanabe and Evan Wohl talk with Meg Priest, founder of Plan for Divorce, about why she created a service that helps women prepare emotionally, financially, and logistically before filing. Meg shares her own experience navigating a non-contentious divorce that still cost over fifty thousand dollars, much of it spent on administrative tasks that could have been handled more efficiently with the right guidance.

She explains why preparation can reduce both legal fees and emotional strain, how checklists and structured planning keep people grounded, and why slowing down before filing may lead to a smoother, less reactive process.

What to expect:

  • How preparation can save money, time, and emotional stress
  • The most common mistakes people make before and during a divorce
  • Why administrative tasks often drive legal costs
  • How Plan for Divorce supports women through structure, clarity, and calm
  • And more!

About Our Guest:

When my marriage ended, I spent more than $50,000 on my divorce—and about 85% of what I spent wasn’t for legal strategy. It was for administrative work: forms, documentation, and endless process. It turns out I didn’t need a lawyer for all that. I needed a Divorce Organizer. I didn’t have one, so I became one.

After 20+ years leading HR and Talent teams, I know how to bring order and efficiency to complicated situations. Now, I use that same skill set to help women take control of the practical side of divorce—organizing their finances, paperwork, and plans so they can spend their money wisely and make clear, confident decisions.

And because divorce is often the catalyst for needing to rebuild or improve finances, I also help clients strengthen their professional foundation—leveraging my insider knowledge from years in hiring and leadership to help women position themselves for better roles, negotiate with confidence, and step into careers that truly support their next chapter.

I believe preparation is power. The more organized you are, the less you’ll spend—and the more peace you’ll have.

Now I help women get organized before they file — so they can spend less, stress less, and make clear, confident decisions through one of the hardest transitions of their lives.

Outside of work, I’m a mom to a son and daughter and my two wonderful former step-sons (now adults). Family needn’t be defined by legal documents. I’m also an avid kayaker—there’s nothing like time on the water to reset, refocus, and remind me what matters most.
