Chasing Magic: Author's Journey from Belonging to Leadership

Orlando-based author and speaker Ryan Tiffin has released his new book, 'Chasing Magic', which chronicles his journey from an LGBTQ+ young person searching for belonging to a successful career in live entertainment, DJ work, and Disney.

Tiffin's unconventional path led him to become a guest-experience leader and expert in creating memorable experiences for guests. He argues that these moments are not just limited to the moment itself but can have a lasting impact on people's lives.

The book is part memoir and part leadership guide, with Tiffin reflecting on how his feelings of difference shaped his confidence and later helped him understand the importance of making employees feel seen and valued.

Tiffin challenges the conventional wisdom that leadership starts with a title, instead arguing that anyone can influence culture through everyday choices and interactions. He emphasizes the need for leaders to pay closer attention to the human experience within their teams.
