A message from Ryan

Hi, I’m Ryan Reichert-Estes—an Ignite the Spark alum turned certified coach, community builder, and now, the person honored to carry this incredible work forward.

When I did Ignite in 2015, I was in the middle of a big career shift. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted—but I knew I wanted something more fulfilling. The experience helped me rediscover who I am at my best. It gave me language, tools, and a sense of possibility that has shaped every decision since.

That clarity led me to start StackRise Coaching, to move abroad, and to live more intentionally. Now, I’m building a new chapter for Ignite—and I want you to be part of it.

You've Grown.
So Has Ignite.

The Trailmaker Collective is your space to keep going, growing, and giving back

You’re invited into a private alumni community built just for this next chapter—designed for reconnection, reflection, and continued growth.

As a fellow alum who started this journey with Susan and heartspark, you’re invited to join for free for 6 months.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • A safe, welcoming space to show up as you are

  • Monthly coaching and themed events

  • Tools and reflections that bring your Success Patterns to life

  • Stories from fellow alumni

  • A chance to shape what this community becomes

Whether you want to stay connected quietly or dive back in, this is your space.

"I always believed this work was meant to ripple far beyond me. Watching Ryan carry it forward—creatively, wholeheartedly, and with deep respect for each of you—is one of my greatest joys."

—Susan Clark, founder of heartspark

More than anything, I’d love to hear how Ignite has stayed with you. Let’s set up a short 1:1 so I can learn what you’re up to and where your spark has taken you.
