Marcela & Ryan About The Key to Preparing Your Business for 2026 & What We Have Been Doing at RPG

Is your business ready for 2026? It's closer than you think. In this candid discussion, Ready, Plan, Grow! founders Marcela Shine and Ryan Cunningham pull back the curtain on what they're building to help small businesses thrive in the years to come.

We're not just talking about another set of tools you have to rent. We're building a comprehensive, AI-powered business partner that you own. A system that helps you with everything from funding and planning to branding and execution. We're talking about real assets, real strategy, and real growth. No vendor lock-in, no corporate BS.

As two Gen Xers who got tired of the corporate grind, we're on a mission to deliver what big companies never do: real results and a system you control.

You've shown you are READY. Now let's PLAN and GROW.
