Golf, Trading, Music, AI, Real Estate & Systems-Driven Ventures

HI, I'M RYAN MATTHES!

I was introduced to the markets at 13 by my grandparents, learning the fundamentals through equities. In my 20s, I played professional poker while trading options and studying systems that perform under pressure. In my 30s, I was mentored by a seasoned commodity broker running multiple funds — that’s where I learned how capital truly moves. Today, I build AI tools, trading infrastructure, and scalable ventures designed to help smart people think sharper and perform sustainably — in business, in markets, and in life.

🔹 The Game of Golf

Golf has been a constant teacher in my life — discipline, patience, and emotional control. As a single-digit handicap with 20+ years of experience, I’ve played with CEOs, creatives, and change-makers. The course has opened doors, sparked ventures, and supported philanthropy. Golf isn’t just a game — it’s a proving ground for character, business, and lifelong relationships.

🔹 Ventures & Systems

I’ve built and rebuilt more than a few things — from failed startups to functional systems that now drive real growth. With a background in computer science and expertise managing engineering and product teams, I approach business like a system: map the inputs, test the levers, optimize the outcome. Whether it’s launching an AI tool, refining a trading funnel, or scaling a brand, I build for leverage, longevity, and momentum. With human genius at the core.

🔹 Trading & Finance

My journey started at 13, trading securities with help from my grandparents. Since then, I’ve become a Series 3 & 30 licensed commodity broker, was mentored by a commodity broker and worked inside his CTAs. I've studied both retail and institutional strategies. I understand how capital moves — and how to help others trade with discipline, edge, and structure.

🔹 AI & Programming

I write code, ship products, and design automations that make people more effective. With a CS degree and a deep interest in AI, I built Prathos AI to help businesses scale through smart marketing systems. From backend logic to front-end experience, I treat software as leverage — and use it to multiply output.

QUOTES FROM MENTORS

"Ryan has the kind of mental discipline most people never develop — not just in business, but in how he trains, thinks, and lives. He doesn’t cut corners. He commits, studies, executes. That’s rare."

💪 Joe Bucci

Bodybuilding Champion, Mr. World & Mr. USA

“Ryan brings a unique mix of technical skill, creative strategy, and leadership. He’s not just an idea guy — he builds. Whether it's AI, automation, or growth systems, he has a knack for turning vision into something real and revenue-generating.”

💼 Michael Brandt

CEO of Drive Traffic Media

“In all my years in the markets, I’ve rarely seen someone pick up institutional structure and trading logic as fast as Ryan. He’s sharp, asks the right questions, and actually applies what he learns — that’s why he’s dangerous in the best way. Ryan has a winners mindset. I've been around enough winners to know one when I see one.”
