Michael Ryan, ’77, published his second book, “Make Your Career Go BOOM! Not Bust: Practical tips to succeed in an ever-changing world.”

Legendary business author Ken Blanchard calls it “one of the best self-help books I have read.”

Universities across the country are using the book to prepare their soon-to-be graduates for the realities of building a career and businesses use the book to provide employees with a competitive edge, said Ryan, who travels extensively giving talks and presentations regarding concepts in the book.

“Make Your Career Go BOOM!” is a fast-paced, easy-to-read book packed with 40 tips for thriving in life and in business. There is no sugarcoating. Just solid advice people can apply right away to make their careers go BOOM and avoid going Bust. People need to drive their career car, not sit in the back or stay stuffed in the trunk. His advice puts people firmly behind the wheel.

Ryan, an award-winning journalist and business executive, is a former vice president at The Arizona Republic. He is president of Ryan Media Consultants, a strategic communications and marketing company. He and his wife, Margaret, live in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The book is available exclusively on Amazon.
