About Susan & Marcus Susan Wolf and Marcus Ryle met as teenagers in the ‘70s and performed for many years in bands together. While still making music, they founded the consulting company Fast Forward Designs in the ‘80s and designed award-winning musical instrument and recording products for brands such as Alesis and Avid. By the ‘90s they were ready to build their own products, and created the Line 6 brand, which grew to over $100M in revenue and was sold to Yamaha Corporation of Japan in 2014. Susan and Marcus now have returned to consulting in order to apply their decades of business experience to helping other entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.
