Ryan Sink

Hello and welcome to Mansion Interviews, a podcast which gives me an excuse to talk to interesting people while at the same time improving your English.

When I was in Manchester this year for the New Media Europe conference I was lucky enough to meet a great guy called Ryan Sink.

Ryan’s so nice to be around. He’s the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as you meet him. It’s just as shame that we didn’t have the time to talk more at the conference, and also that we happen to live in different countries.

So, I jumped on Skype with Ryan after the conference and that’s what you’re going to hear now. A Mansion interview with Ryan Sink from businessenglishqanda.com
