Running away from angry ostriches while his brother snatched their eggs and loading hogs onto a truck as a young boy on his grandparents farm taught Ryan Carter the real meaning of a hard day’s work.
The grind became commonplace for Carter, who took on jobs at a much younger age than his peers while growing up in Louisville, Ky., such as managing a special events company and working as a foreman for a tree company as a teenager.
That drive later led Carter to co-found the American division of Scotlynn, a logistics and transportation company headquartered in Canada, at the age of 26 in Fort Myers.
