Back in 2002 I first met [Ryan Carson](http://ryancarson.com) at a **Macromedia Flash** event in London, (although he probably won’t remember that) but somehow through the industry and social networks we have crossed paths. I think at the time he was involved in the **BD4D** (by designers 4 designers) projects, but he has since gone on to do amazing things, most importantly [Treehouse](http://teamtreehouse.com), my go-to resource for online learning. He has always come across as a genuinely nice guy, and would treat his staff fairly. So it’s no surprise to me that he subscribes to the [32-hour workweek](http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/396527/case-32-hour-workweek/). *Inspiring stuff.*
