About the Book
What if the most powerful leadership lessons are not taught, but lived?
For Ryan Tiffin, leadership was never learned in a classroom. It was built through moments, through loss, through reinvention, and through the pursuit of something just out of reach.
Chasing Magic is a deeply personal and cinematic journey through the experiences that shaped a life in storytelling, guest experience, and leadership. From standing in a crowd beneath the fireworks at Walt Disney World to navigating identity, adversity, and ambition, Ryan shares the moments that defined not just who he became, but how he leads.
But this is more than a memoir.
It is a reflection on what it truly means to lead people in a world where experience is everything.
Because the magic was never just in the fireworks.
It was in the people who created them.
And the ones who chose to believe in them.
It was in the people who created them.
And the ones who chose to believe in them.

Who This Book Is For
This book is for leaders, creators, young professionals, storytellers, and anyone trying to make meaning out of the work they do and the lives they touch.
It is for the people who feel like they are figuring life and leadership out as they go. The ones who have faced uncertainty, loss, fear, reinvention, and the quiet question of whether their story still has somewhere meaningful to go.
Chasing Magic is not written from a perfect roadmap. It is written from lived experience, from real rooms, real risks, real failures, real lessons, and the belief that even the hardest chapters can become part of something powerful.
My hope is that this book feels like more than a story. I hope it feels like a reminder that you are not alone while you are building your life, your voice, and your leadership.
