Torchbearer: A Conversation with Ryan Wilson

Ryan Wilson is the founder and CEO of Team Trust Productions, one of the few disability-led video production companies in the United States. Through documentaries and fundraising films created with nonprofit organizations across the country, Ryan and his team work to place people with disabilities at the center of their own stories—as creators, leaders, and narrators rather than subjects of sympathy. Ryan himself lives with osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, and his work is helping reshape how disability is represented in nonprofit storytelling and media. In this episode, we trace Ryan’s journey from growing up with a disability that shaped his perspective on the world to building a company dedicated to telling stories with authenticity, dignity, and trust.
