What if I told you that your biggest breakthrough is waiting on the other side of your biggest breakdown? What if the very thing you're afraid of—losing control, facing uncertainty, getting knocked down—is exactly what you need to discover who you're really meant to be? Join our community of fearless leaders in search of unreasonable outcomes... Want to become a FEARLESS entrepreneur and leader? Go here: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://link.ryanhanley.com/youtube Here's the truth most business leaders won't tell you: not fitting into corporate culture… even getting fired might be the best thing that ever happens to your career. I know this because it wasn't until I was fired from three executive positions that I realized each termination was a gift I didn't know I needed. While most people think success is about climbing the corporate ladder, playing the game, and getting the flashy job title is what success looks like… But if you're here, I'm assuming that's not you. My name is Ryan Hanley, most people just call me Hanley, and after getting fired for the third time, I finally realized something: God didn't create me to work for someone else.  He created me to be a builder, a leader, and an entrepreneur. That's when I founded Rogue Risk, a digital insurance agency, built it from nothing, and sold it for seven figures in less than four years. Over the last 10 years I've delivered over 400 keynotes to leaders around the world, growth this podcast to consistently rank among the top in the world and coached 100's of founder and leaders through my  RealityOS framework—a leadership philosophy that helps entrepreneurs break through the three biggest barriers killing their growth: undisciplined focus, uninspired company culture and a lack outcome driven systems. This podcast is for unreasonable people seeking unreasonable outcomes.  If you're tired of playing small, if you're frustrated with where you are versus where you know you should be, if you're ready to stop making excuses and start making moves—then you're in the right place. Here's what I know after sitting in every seat at the table—founder, operator, executive, speaker, investor, coach: People don't follow logos. They follow leaders. Leaders who do the work. Who tell the truth. Who show the hell up when everyone else is making excuses. That's what we do here. We have real conversations with real people who've achieved unreasonable outcomes in their life and business.  No fluff. No theory. Just the raw, unfiltered strategies, mindsets, and habits that separate peak performers from everyone else. Whether you're revenue growth has stalled, you're struggling with leadership, or simply know you're capable of more but can't figure out how to get there—this show will give you the clarity, tools, and inspiration you need to break through to the next level.

Jakub Remiar takes you on a no-bullshit, data-driven tour through the real top 25 grossing mobile games in the West (Jan–July 2025). The episode breaks down portfolio dynamics, market shifts, revenue spikes, and the high-stakes race for dominance between 4X, casino, merge, puzzle, and gacha giants. This is not just another leaderboard—this is the context and commentary you need to understand who's winning, who's stalling, and what's really changing the game.What's inside:Who's #1? Last War Survival takes the crown at $823 million, but with all Rivergame's 4X titles, the real number is much higher—and growing. Whiteout Survival, King Shot, and the rest of the portfolio keep pushing the category forward.Royal Match & Royal Kingdom: Dream Games keeps the match-3 crown, with Royal Kingdom's celebrity campaign finally moving the revenue needle. Royal Match and Royal Kingdom together are pulling in around $5 million a day.Monopoly Go's Web Shop Power: Monopoly Go remains a revenue beast at $130 million/month, with a hidden 15–20 percent more from web shop sales. Coin Master is unfazed, rolling steady at $2.5 million a day, and now launching its own board adventure to fight back.Chinese Giants, Untouchable at Home: Honor of Kings is a $10 billion-plus machine, with 99 percent of revenue from China and a massive rebranding push in 2025. PUBG (China and global) still brings $120–180 million a day. Dungeon & Fighter's mobile launch is a new top-10 contender.Category Movers: Gossip Harbor (+76 percent in six months) and Tasty Travels are scaling the merge genre to new highs, while Township's relentless content drops make it the most stable revenue engine in the Playrix portfolio. Gardenscapes and Homescapes are steady, but Township is the new king.Gacha Spikes & Declines: Pokémon TCG Pocket, Honkai Star Rail, and the MiHoYo/HoYoverse catalog are defined by spikes and dips—each banner, new set, or collaboration moves millions, but overall trends are down.Supercell's Double Life: Brawl Stars is declining after a wild 2024, but Clash Royale's merge tactics update drove a surprise revenue spike. Clash of Clans and other classics are still stable, with web shop dollars boosting the baseline.Key Takeaway:The market is bigger, richer, and more dynamic than ever—but the winners are the ones playing the portfolio game, pushing multi-game launches, and finding new ways to own the top 25. If you want to break in, you better bring more than one hit.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, SBC's Managing Editor, Jessica Welman, is joined by Motti Colman, VP of Revenue at Optimove, the podcast's main sponsor, for an analysis of player behaviour in the sweepstakes versus real money online casino sectors. With a focus on practical outcomes over legal definitions, the duo explores how each gaming model attracts and retains players, using exclusive Optimove data and a detailed case study that spans global iGaming markets.Motti highlights how Optimove's advanced benchmarking and predictive modelling shed light on key differences in player value, onboarding success, and behavioural trends. Listeners will learn how the regulated online casino market sets the gold standard, while the sweepstakes model, despite its clever “scratch card” style redemption mechanics, faces significant hurdles in conversion rates due to complex onboarding and player skepticism. A critical takeaway? The importance of Day One. As the hosts reveal, player actions in the first 24 hours are often the most predictive of long-term engagement and lifetime value. While sweepstakes players may start slow, Optimove's research shows that by Day 28, they can match or even exceed online casino players in loyalty and activity, provided CRM strategies focus on guiding players through an intensive 'incubation' period.

I've been keeping a secret from you. When I revealed the Six-Malpractice patterns killing your deals in episode #468, I only told you half the story. The diagnosis without the cure, and that was intentional. Because what I am about to share with you is dangerous. Not financially, dangerous, but psychologically dangerous. Only because today is going to force you to confront some uncomfortable truths about why you keep sabotaging your own success. And today I plan to show you what I discovered while researching my private clients habits. The cure for Creative Real Estate Malpractice isn't what anyone expects. It's not learning new techniques or finding better sellers or improving your offers. It's about rewiring your thinking and point of view when talking to Sellers. Your deal killing patterns aren't accidents. They're not mistakes.They're your subconscious mind way of protecting you from the deeper issues you might have. Something you probably don't even realize you're afraid of. But once you reveal the psychology behind the malpractice, you can rewire the habits that create it. Then install new patterns that serve you instead of sabotaging you. Let's get started…

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Strategies of a Savage CEO.  Today, we dive into the transformative journey of a client who skyrocketed her monthly business revenue from $20,000 in January to a staggering $60,000 just four months later.
