Capitalism.com with Ryan Daniel Moran

David Osborn built a $200 million net worth from the ground up, becoming the largest franchise owner in Keller Williams history and founding a nine-figure private equity firm. But that's not the whole story. In this conversation, David breaks down how he made his first $100M, the trap of chasing more, and what it really means to live a wealthy life. From 15-hour days and hiring disasters to building empires through people—not hustle—David shares what most millionaires won't. This episode is a masterclass in mindset, leadership, leverage, and the shift from success to significance. If you're ready to start your road to $1M, head to https://capitalism.com/challenge

Every year, I like to create an annual predictions podcast to explore what might happen in the year ahead, how the coming changes could affect you and your business, and reflect on my previous year's wins and losses.   This year, in 2025, I'm focusing on a few exciting trends emerging in the worlds of e-commerce, business, and politics.   I often see entrepreneurs predicting recessions and catastrophes year after year. It surprises me that people continue to listen to them, despite their predictions usually being wrong.   Through my optimistic lens, I see growth, opportunity, and unity.   If you want to build your own million dollar brand, head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to download the Free Playbook to start on your own road to $1M and beyond.   To get on the waitlist for the Capitalism Accelerator, head to https://capitalism.com/launch   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran   Timestamps:   0:00 - Calling out the scammers   0:30 - Recapping my predictions from 2024   3:00 - My number 1 stock pick from 24   4:30 - E-Commerce companies coming together.   5:58 - Moving into 2025.   6:24 - AI SAAS Companies   7:45 - Crypto Communities   11:30 - Wokeness is over   13:14 - DOGE   14:30 - My top stocks for 2025    

As we close out the year I want to give you what I think is the best gift that I could possibly give, a lesson about planning what to do with the wealth you create in your life.   The biggest mistake that I ever made in my career was not having a concrete plan after the exit of my company. I thought I could apply the same skillsets I'd developed as an entrepreneur to being an investor and it turned out that growing my money required a completely different mindset.    In this compound I share how my thoughts on investing have evolved and what you can do to make sure that your profits not only grow, but grow in a way that is diversified, safe, and still exciting to your long-term goals.   If you want to build your own million dollar brand, head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to download the Free Playbook to start on your own road to $1M and beyond.   To get on the waitlist for the Capitalism Accelerator, head to https://capitalism.com/launch   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran

Today we're going through how to make $1M with just 100 people. It only takes 100 people to create a raving fanbase and enough momentum to build towards that $1M run rate.   The 6th step in the 8 step process to $1M is building a list of 100 ambassadors. These are the people who will go to war for your brand, the ones who will post every review, buy every product, and ultimately propel you to a business you can sell for millions of dollars and beyond.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to download the Free Playbook to start on your own road to $1M and beyond.   To get on the waitlist for the Capitalism Accelerator, head to https://capitalism.com/launch   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran

The 5th step in the 8 step process to $1M is getting to 25 sales per day. This is the most tactical step in the entire brand building playbook.   In this podcast I share with you exactly what you can do, even if you only have 2 hours a day to devote to building your business.   The truth is, for most people that is all the time they can devote to this while they focus on their primary job or business. But if you follow the steps I lay out in this episode you can hit a consistent 25 sales per day and you'll be well on your way to building a million dollar business.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.   To get on the waitlist for the accelerator, head to https://capitalism.com/launch   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran

”You have to love the process, not just the result”   Everyone says that in the entrepreneur and personal development space, and so often when people finally reach their big goals, they miss the climb and don't know what to do next.   This is an audio-only podcast you won't find on the YouTube channel because I think there are some lessons that are better taught when I'm not in front of a camera.   In this lesson I share my evolving thoughts on being present for the process of chasing my own business and investing goals. Sheer Strength Labs, the company I reacquired after my big exit, had it's first big sales day where it hit a $1 million run rate again and that's been really exciting but I can't help but come back to the biggest lesson I've ever learned about growth: Fast is bad and slow is good.   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran   If you're ready to start your road to $1M, head to https://capitalism.com/playbook   If you're already at the $1M/year mark and want to partner with us, head to https://capitalism.com/inc

There are three types of money: 1. Cashflow, 2. Wealth, and 3. Enterprise Value   Everyone loves to focus on the first two without thinking about the third, which is where fortunes are made.   If you switch the order and think about Enterprise Value first, you have a shot at building something that can set you financially free for life.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.    Scale to the $1M/year mark and beyond in the Capitalism Incubator at https://capitalism.com/inc   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran

When should you consider raising capital to grow your business?   There is a lot of information around raising money for tech companies and other startups but when it comes to eCommerce, there is very little information out there.   Giving away equity in your growing brand is not the right move for everyone, knowing how to value your business can be difficult for many, and then knowing how to actually use the money if you successfully find investors can be even harder.   That's why I wanted to share this podcast so you would know your options and you can avoid many of the pitfalls that entrepreneurs face when it comes to raising capital.   This is what no one tells you about raising money to really grow and scale to the next level.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.    Scale to the $1M/year mark and beyond in the Capitalism Incubator at https://capitalism.com/inc   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran

You always want to start with an ideal person who you are selling to when it comes to building  a brand, but how many of those people do you actually need to build a million dollar business?   It may surprise you to learn that you only need to start with an audience as small as 100 people. I've seen this in action multiple times, I've done this with my own businesses, and the brands in the Capitalism portfolio start with this core thesis.   It can be really hard to sell a product but it is really easy to talk to people. In this podcast I break down how you can build a massive business by communicating with a small, loyal group of followers. From here it becomes very logical and natural to get 100 people on your email list, grow to 100 sales/day, and eventually cross the million dollar mark.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.    Scale to the $1M/year mark and beyond in the Capitalism Incubator at https://capitalism.com/inc   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran   If you want to join us in San Diego July 21-24, shoot me an email at join@capitalism.com  

In this episode I'm going to walk you through the 8-step playbook that we developed to help people that have read my book implement the plan to build a million dollar business.   That timeline can feel aggressive or even confusing to a lot of people but once you understand these 8 steps you'll be able to see where they fall in that 12 month timeframe.   Whether you are stuck at 15 sales a day, launching your next product, or even if you've already surpassed $1M and growth has slowed, going through these 8 milestones will help you get unstuck and keep you moving forward.   Wherever you get stuck, come back to this podcast and find which step you're on to continue. This process done correctly WILL get you to that $1M mark within 12 months.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.    Scale to the $1M/year mark and beyond in the Capitalism Incubator at https://capitalism.com/inc   Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran   Timestamps:   (0:00) - The 8 Steps To $1 Million   (1:00) - Choosing Your WHO   (2:00) - Getting 100 People On An Email List   (5:45) - Launch Strategy   (9:40) - Your First 100 Reviews   (15:50) - Getting To 25 Sales Per Day   (18:40) - Build A List of 100 Ambassadors   (22:30) - How To Launch More Products   (25:00) - Scaling To 100 Sales Per Day

How can you measure if your life is going in the right direction? How do you know if you are taking the right actions to achieve your goals?   I developed a process called the TRIBE 5 that lets you track 5 areas of investment into your life where you can make small deposits that compound into massive success.   This process has helped me make millions throughout my career, and if you pick your own 5 daily habits and check them off most days it would be hard for you NOT to be extremely successful.   Most entrepreneurs don't really know how to most effectively use their time, let alone keep a score of the small habits that are creating the biggest change. If you can stick to this process for even a few months your life and business will change forever.   Head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to see how we grow and scale brands to the million dollar mark and beyond.    Scale to the $1M/year mark and beyond in the Capitalism Incubator at https://capitalism.com/inc Connect with me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran Timestamps:   (0:00) The TRIBE 5   (6:00) Time    (7:15) Relationships    (9:20) Income   (10:46) Body    (11:20) Expansion   (15:00) How I'm implementing this in my businesses    (23:00) Tying it all together

It feels right to share this with you all right now.   Maybe you found this show when it was originally called Freedom Fast Lane. Maybe you remember when it was called The One Percent. After some personal reflection, I think the show is changing direction again.   I miss the days of getting on the microphone and just sharing what is on my heart, and what is working within our community, and what is working (or not working) within my businesses.   Now it is time we get back to doing more of that instead of optimizing for growth or more downloads.   I hope you'll continue coming back if this podcast has given you value in the past.   Rooting for you :) Ryan

This year at the Capitalism Conference, I opened the event with a keynote about the current state of capitalism. We're in an ever expanding universe, and once you realize that, it changes everything. Unfortunately not everyone sees it that way so their scarcity mindset keeps them from building the business of their dreams. In this keynote I share my brutally honest advice  on how entrepreneurs can shift their thinking to operate from a place of abundance.   If you got value out of this podcast, head to https://capitalism.com/playbook to download our free playbook and get started on your road to $1M.   Head to https://instagram.com/ryandanielmoran to connect with me on Instagram.   Timestamps:   (0:00) - How Your Life Can Completely Change In 2-5 years   (2:45) - Entrepreneurs Create Expansion   (6:20) - What Would You Do If You Knew That You Were Going To Win?   (7:45) - Over Time, Things Expand   (19:00) - The Formula And Case Studies   (23:00) - The Plan Works   (26:30) - The Next Chapter Of Capitalism   (36:00) - Head To Capitalism.com/Playbook To Get Started Today

You really only need 500 to 1,000 people to have a really profitable business.   If you can spend the next 2 or 3 months building up an audience of really responsive people you can absolutely have a million dollar business over the next 12 months.   This podcast is NOT about how to become an influencer and devote your life to creating endless content. In this episode I share the playbook on taking a small audience like this and scaling to 7 figures.   To learn more about creating your own path to $1 million sign up for our FREE 30 day mini series at: http://www.Capitalism.com/Million   Connect with me on Instagram at: https://Instagram.com/RyanDanielMoran  

The biggest news this week in E-commerce is that Thrasio, the biggest aggregator in online brands, is filing for bankruptcy after losing $3.4 billion.   What does this mean for you?

Launches are selling out, and students are hitting record months over and over.    When you can build a loyal audience of customers who care about your brand, scaling up becomes easy.   To learn more about creating your own path to $1 million sign up for our FREE 30 day mini series at:   http://www.Capitalism.com/Million   Connect with me on Instagram at:   https://Instagram.com/RyanDanielMoran  

This is one of the most valuable podcasts we've ever shared on the show. Even if you're not at the million dollar mark, this episode will help you see the road ahead and make it "normal" for you to think about hitting $100M.  I asked Branden Coluccio to speak at our last Capitalist Pigs event about normalizing the step-by-step framework to get to $100M because he's been there before. He has experience both as a founder and in the private equity space buying and selling brands. This talk was invaluable to me, and I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I did at the event.
