Navigating the Challenges of Remote Work: Recognizing and Combating Burnout

Adventure racing—an off-road, navigation-based sport that fuses endurance, strategy, and teamwork—became a life-changing journey for Ryan VanGorder. What started as a casual comment while watching The Echo Challenge with friends transformed into a relentless pursuit of his physical and mental limits.

Since 1999, Ryan and his team have tackled grueling competitions that stretch from a few hours to several days, pushing themselves against nature and their own endurance. 

But Ryan’s path took a harrowing turn when a race led to a life-threatening medical emergency, landing him in a coma. Emerging from that experience, he embraced a fierce commitment to living fully, adopting a “YOLO” mindset that fuels both his life and his approach to business.

In this episode, WealthManagement.com Managing Editor Diana Britton sits down with Ryan VanGorder, CEO of Opto Investments, to share his story of survival, resilience, and how his brush with death reshaped his outlook on life and work.

Ryan discusses: 
- His introduction to adventure racing and the unique allure that hooked him
- Memorable moments from races across rugged landscapes
- The life-changing near-death experience during the Primal Quest race in Moab, Utah
- How adventure racing taught him valuable lessons for managing risk in business
- How adventure racing helped him find balance and meditation

Sie erörtern, welche Rahmenbedingungen für erfolgreiche Teamarbeit notwendig sind und wie man eine „Vereinbarung“ mit den einzelnen Teammitgliedern entwickelt, die die Zusammenarbeit strukturiert und ein belastbares Fundament schafft. Die beiden diskutieren außerdem, ob und wie Positive Reinforcement (positive Verstärkung) im Unternehmenskontext funktionieren kann und wie man es konkret anwendet. Darüber hinaus beleuchten sie verschiedene evidenzbasierte Managementmethoden und deren praktische Anwendungsfelder.

Mi Mate Music – Giving Sound to Silent Struggles

Mi Mate Music is a purpose-driven creative project transforming lived experiences into powerful, emotionally charged tracks. Founded by Dennis Weston, this initiative supports individuals—particularly war veterans living with invisible injuries such as PTSD and other mental health conditions—in expressing what too often goes unsaid.

Through music, we help broken people tell their stories in ways that are honest, raw, and empowering. These tracks are more than just songs—they are lived moments, captured in sound.

Our mission is twofold: to support healing through creative expression, and to foster greater understanding of the silent battles many veterans and others endure daily. Every lyric and every beat is crafted to inspire empathy, connection, and insight into the challenges of mental health injuries.

Whether you're navigating your own journey or seeking to understand someone else's, Mi Mate Music offers a soundtrack grounded in truth, resilience, and hope.

Your support helps us continue turning real stories into music that matters.

Wir, Christoph Vornholt und Markus Quathamer, sind Landschaftsgärtner und trinken gerne mal nach getaner Arbeit ein Feierabendbierchen. Dabei wird gequatscht, und zwar so, wie uns die Schnauze gewachsen ist: Frei raus, von der Leber weg und einfach ehrlich.

Wir sprechen über Themen wie Digitalisierung, Ausbildung, Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement, Unternehmensführung, Teilzeit-Modelle, Work-Live-Balance, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung, Führung 4.0, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung… Alles, über das man bei einem Feierabendbier so sprechen kann.

In erster Linie wollen wir unterhalten, wir erheben keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit und Wissensvermittlung.

Viel Spaß beim Hören und denkt dran: Landschaftsgärtner – weil Superheld keine Berufsbezeichnung ist!
