EFR 572: Shifting Perspective of Your World and THE World with Ryan Hartman
Ryan Hartman is the President and CEO of World View, whose mission is to share a better vision of our planet through capturing stratospheric images of Earth, helping solve our planet's biggest problems, and even launching humans from the world's wonders to the edge of space.
They exist to inspire, create, and explore new perspectives while rediscovering Earth to create a radically improved future. What does that mean? It means shifting our behaviors, changing how we treat our planet, and forming a community that advocates for Earth.
In this discussion, Ryan and Chase explore the intersection of technology and purpose by diving deep into the shocking reality of space travel and tourism in 2022 and beyond. Ryan explains to us how World View space tourism works, what inspired him to create these innovative travel experiences, and how World View is prioritizing sustainability and financial accessibility.

Key Highlights
World View created a journey consisting of 5 days of immersive experiences, in addition to space flight, for people to explore Earth and develop a newfound respect and enlightened view of our planet.
Ryan believes that the immersive experience of stratospheric ballooning will inspire others to shift their current perspectives of the world and change the way they treat planet Earth.
Beyond the adventurous thrill of space flight, Ryan believes there will be people who are called to participate in World View experiences.
Although a ticket for the space tourism experience comes at a price of $50,000, Ryan and World View are continuously working to make their flights more accessible for people all around the globe. They even offer financing for flights, which is essentially unheard of!
Ryan talks about the sustainability of World View’s space travel program, from recycling and repurposing their stratospheric balloons to offsetting their carbon footprint. They’ve committed to a 100-year plan of managing their carbon footprint, waste, and the lifespan of the materials they use.
Powerful Quotes by Ryan Hartman
What is a new perspective? It embodies inspiring people, it embodies exploring, it embodies finding something that is unique so that we can contribute to a radically improved future.
One day, you can be standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon just seeing how massive it is. And the next day, ascending to the very edge of space, to the very edge of Earth’s atmosphere and beyond, and see how small it is. That creates an opportunity to be able to feel something different, unique, and have an emotional response to that.
Perspective shift, I believe, happens when you create an environment where there’s familiarity, something you recognize, coupled with something completely new that you don’t yet completely understand.
We’re never done thinking about how might we be able to run our business… and what decisions do we need to make along the way to find a way to have a positive impact.
