About Ryan Carney

For over a decade, I’ve worked in the promotional products industry, helping distributors streamline their operations, problem solve and innovate. I’ve built a reputation as a go-to resource—someone who thrives on untangling complex challenges and creating solutions that drive success.But in an industry that never slows down, I’ve learned that working harder isn’t always the answer—working smarter is. That’s where mindfulness comes in.Why Mindfulness?Meditation and mindfulness have been transformative in my own life, helping me find clarity, set goals, and stay grounded in the chaos. Whether it’s taking a breath before a tough decision or pausing to reset during a hectic day, these simple moments of awareness have made a huge impact on my personal and professional growth.Introducing Promo PauseI’m passionate about sharing the power of mindfulness in a way that’s practical, approachable, and useful—especially for busy professionals in fast-paced industries. That’s why I created Promo Pause—an online series designed to help promo pros (and beyond) take small, actionable pauses to reset, refocus, and work smarter.Through mindful meditations, Merch Mantras, and mental wellness insights, my goal is to build a community that encourages balance, self-awareness, and success—not just in business, but in life.Let’s ConnectIf you’re a sales professional, operations leader, or just someone looking for ways to bring more clarity and focus into your daily routine, let’s connect! I’d love to hear what keeps you grounded and how we can support each other on this journey. What’s your “banana” for calming the noise?(If you follow my series, you know what I mean )#PromoPause #Mindfulness #SalesSuccess #WorkSmarter #MerchMantras
