Ryan Allis just turned 30. In his 20s, he created and sold a company, iContact, for $170 million.

Allis created the longest PowerPoint deck imaginable of life lessons learned over the past year. It's 1,284 slides and his advice includes gems such as:


"Important people like opening FedEx packages."And:

"Let your inner child come out daily and silly dance."

The presentation is separated into three parts: Life (566 slides), Entrepreneurship (449 slides), and The World (269 slides).


In what is surely the longest slideshow Business Insider has ever published, we uploaded all 1,284 slides for your viewing pleasure. So our site doesn't collapse under the weight, we're publishing them in three installments. Here's the first part, "Life."
