John Ruhlin

August 4 is tomorrow. A day we will never forget.

It marks the passing of our founder, John Ruhlin.

Our giver, dreamer, and friend who lived one simple truth: relationships over everything.

For John, that meant faith first. Then family. Then friends.

This day is not just about remembering.
It is about living the way he did, with action, generosity, and love for others.

Swipe through for ways to live generously in your relationships.

John started the ripple.

Let’s carry the wave.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Launching Beyond GIFT∙OLOGY in Austin, TX this week surrounded and supported by so many incredible leaders, visionaries, friends, and family members was nothing short of extraordinary—and it’s all because of YOU.

Every share, every purchase, every word of encouragement helped make this a moment that truly honored John’s legacy.

To the people in the room with us in Austin - thank you. And to the MANY colleagues, connections, followers, and friends of John who supported this book in other ways, we are so grateful.

was Johns choice for this book launch from the start, and he would be so proud of how it all came together. A special thank you to Jon Berghoff for walking the room through this special day. And as always, a special thank you to the Cutco Cutlery team-your generosity and unwavering support made this event everything it was meant to be.

In case you were wondering, together, we raised $200,000. This will have a lasting impact on John’s family. We are so appreciative of everyone who bid, shared, and contributed.

John would be so proud.

To the many friends and followers of John Ruhlin,

Before his passing, John was hard at work on what would become his final book: Beyond GIFT∙OLOGY - releasing March 18th.

In the months since, our team, the Ruhlin family, and a group of dear friends came together to carry his vision across the finish line. This book now stands as a guide to what John believed most: that Relationships Can Take You Places Marketing Can’t.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be using John’s platform to share his work and legacy with you. We know seeing activity here again may come as a surprise, but we believe the most honoring thing we can do is ensure his message reaches those it was meant for.

Thank you for being part of John’s story. The ripple effect of his work is far from over. Our team is truly honored to carry John’s legacy forward with our work each day!
