Ryan Schwantes
President

Ryan Schwantes is the President of Baldwin Research Insititute, Inc. While not an author of The Freedom Model itself, Ryan has been instrumental in advancing its ideas, applications, and growth. Mr. Schwantes created BRI Publishing as the vehicle to bring The Freedom Model appraoch to the public and later helped lead BRI into establishing The Freedom Model Coaching Program—a groundbreaking approach that provides people with direct, practical guidance to move beyond addiction.

Through this coaching program, Ryan has positioned The Freedom Model as the vehicle to fundamentally change how individuals are helped, offering a solution that moves away from outdated treatment models and empowers people to build lasting freedom in their lives. His contributions remain invaluable, and his vision is to make The Freedom Model the standard by which people everywhere measure success in overcoming struggles with addiction and habits.

Ryan lives in New York with his wife and their three children. Outside of his professional work, he enjoys spending time with his family and is passionate about fitness, health, and helping others create happy, fulfilling lives.
