  • “TikTok is largely a human experience where I get input of new ideas and feel some true humanity as people share these stories that resonate.” – Ryan Deeds
  • “Execution is key to everything, right? We can have all the ideas in the world. But if you can’t figure out the idea that you personally can execute on and make it your own, that’s just an idea.” – Ryan Deeds
