Ryan Robinson

Ryan Robinson's keynote, Everything on the Line™, gives teams the four-part resilience framework that keeps him walking thousands of feet up on an inch of webbing: Rig, Leash, Line, Anchor™. It is a talk your team can use on Monday — how to prepare for the big moment, focus inside it and come back to center when the line shakes. Built for sales kickoffs, leadership meetings and teams heading into change. For over fifteen years, Ryan Robinson has walked one-inch highlines across canyons, sea cliffs, and towers in more than fifteen countries on six continents — from the granite spires of Brazil to the sea cliffs of Tasmania and the desert arches of Utah. His crossings include a one-mile highline across the Southern California desert in 2023 (his longest highline walked at the time, a personal record), a 704-foot highline walked blindfolded in 2017, and a 1,919-foot bridge-to-bridge world record across the American River in his hometown of Folsom, California, in 2019 — walked on-sight in front of 10,000 spectators and broadcast on live television. Before the line came a decade of endurance sport: over 100 races, including half and full IRONMAN®, and the Race Across America on an eight-man team. He's a four-time American Ninja Warrior with two national-finals appearances. In 2025 he spent 365 days cowboy camping under the stars, riding alone across the wilderness of the western United States — the journey behind his keynote Dismantled & Rebuilt. His work has been covered by CNN, Discovery, ABC, and the Today Show Australia, and he has partnered with National Geographic, GoPro, Red Bull, Dometic, Ford, and REI. He holds a B.A. in Intercultural Communication and Philosophy and is fluent in English and Portuguese. He speaks to companies, teams, and conferences that want more than a story — a working model for staying clear-headed under real consequence, delivered by someone who lives at the sharp end of it. The keynote can be paired with a separately scoped live highline performance, subject to site survey and venue approval. Booking is handled by Christy Lawrence at Leading Speakers.
