The Ryan Tan Show
The Ryan Tan Show is a long-form interview podcast for professionals, founders, and anyone who wants to understand how business, law, finance, and technology actually work in Australia.
Each episode features a deep conversation with practitioners, operators, and experts who have built something, fought something, or know something most people don't. No fluff, no motivational filler - just substantive, honest conversations that go well beyond the surface.
Guests have included insolvency partners, tax lawyers, credit reporting advocates, legal tech founders, and corporate insiders. Conversations regularly run 90 minutes to two hours because the best insights don't come in soundbites.
If you're a founder, director, accountant, lawyer, or just someone who wants to understand the systems that shape Australian business and finance - this is the show for you.

Hey Ryan, it's just Emma here from DLcoms. I've just got a guest that I thought might be a good interviewee for the show. Was just wondering what would be the best way to contact you about that one. I've had a little look online and I'm not too sure which email is yours. But yeah, if there's any way you could get back to me on that one, if you could send me an email at Emma at DLCOMS.com.au.
