E94 Drop The Text to Pick Up a Relationship
July 24, 2018 08:30 - 14 minutes - 19.2 MBConversation worth having shouldn’t happen via text messaging.

E87 Details Matter
July 17, 2018 08:30 - 11 minutes - 16.4 MBToday I let details dictated my ability to be successful. A conflict with a gym over recording video and photography results in a huge shift in my day’s schedule. But it’s not their fault, I should have had the forethought to get clearance before bringing a media crew to a corporate gym. More often than not we are quick to point the finger outward. But in reality we should be pointing at ourselves as we overlook the details. Questions, comments, requests? Feel free to contact me at ryan@gs...

Having a coach can help you reach your goals, whatever they may be, much faster than if you go it alone. I’ll even go as fast to say using a coach is the best way to get to where you want to be. Learn from experts who have mastered their craft both from experience and learning from the masters who coached them. Once you grow to the point that you truly no longer need them, then the student becomes the teacher. Questions, comment...

E81 How To Deal With Mean People - Listener Request
July 11, 2018 08:30 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MBIt’s pretty easy for me to talk about this one, I used to be that jerk. There’s always one of them. They always have some way to put you down and ruin your day. And most of the time they enjoy doing it. And most of the time they are either threatened or have some kind of insecurity deep within. It may seem like conflict is the issue here, but conflict is actually the answer. Confront them, ask them why, and be the aggressor. When a bully is backed into a corner and faced with the truth, they...
E80 Domestic Violence - Listener Request
July 10, 2018 08:30 - 21 minutes - 30.3 MBFirst and foremost, domestic violence is never acceptable. Physical, verbal, emotional, or any other kind of abuse is not okay. A female listener reached out asking for me to speak about this topic. Domestic violence is the lowest form of being a man, or even a human. I don’t care what the reasoning is, what the situation is, or even how sketchy your dark past may be. Domestic violence is NEVER acceptable. Men, you are better than this. You should never raise your hand or voice to a woma...
E79 The P Word
July 09, 2018 08:30 - 22 minutes - 32.1 MBPornography. It’s easier than ever to find what we’re looking for online. It’s also easier than ever to let that access ruin your life.

E77 What Time Is It
July 07, 2018 08:30 - 15 minutes - 21.7 MBThere is never enough time in a day. I cram as much as possible into every single day to put myself into personal power. But at the same time I let time dictate nearly every aspect of my life. Where is the ME time? Sometimes the best growth comes during the slowest mental times in your life.

E76 Dont Be Water
July 06, 2018 08:30 - 18 minutes - 26.2 MBBeing authentic means not filtering, or watering down, your message. Some listeners may not like this, and that’s ok. You can’t please everyone. But after some harsh reviews on a specific episode, Lindsay and I become water. Water is weak. It has no back bone or spine and goes where it is guided. Rather than staying authentic and true to ourselves, we almost follow the path demanded by others. But don’t worry, those episodes are in the trash and no one will ever hear that garbage. Questi...

E73 Indecision Is Killing You
July 03, 2018 08:30 - 16 minutes - 23 MBJust decide. Act. Go. Do something. Don’t be stagnant. Miep Gies said “Any attempt at action is better than inaction. An attempt can go wrong, but inaction inevitably results in failure.” Your decision may not be the best, but being indecisive is the worst. Indecision gets you no where. Indecision kills your productivity, your confidence, and can even negatively affect your relationships or business. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to make a decision. Use your lizard-brain, decide...

June 26, 2018 08:30 - 16 minutes - 20.3 MBTry, should, and wish: these are three of the most common limiting words in the English language. Why? Those three words represent a lack of commitment.
