One of the most destructive things we do is ignore the signs.    The signs about the times.     Accepting reality that things are going to change.    It's no surprise.    The pendulum of life swings back and forth, but for some reason, we get caught in continuing to believe the lies.    The best thing you can do is to be wlling to surrender to the inevitable......   Change will always be a part of life.    Personally and professionally, you will continue to be called to pivot.    Make changes.    Sacrifices.     Sit with failures and gather the courage to come up with a plan.    But here's the secret......   Everything you're trying to figure out has already been figured out......   That's if you trust in the plan God has created for you.    All you have to do is be willing to pivot when the time comes.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

There are shit bags in every nation, race, continent, neighborhood..........   They come in every shape, size, and form.    I know a lot of good Asians, Blacks, Mexicans, Africans.......Europeans.....   I know the good and bad in every sector represented in the human race.    They're everywhere.    One thing I can tell you is, you can't group everyone into one category just because one of them has made mistakes or became a bad example for their people.    We can't lump people together in anything.    Operating with absolutes.    It cripples us as a whole.    What I can tell you is, we do have a responsibility to call people out of every race, creed, color, etc.    As the human race, we have to make clear the directions of what's acceptable and not acceptable in society.    So, the next time you hear someone of a certain race, color or creed did something fucked up, just know there's a counter balance in existence.    One person does not have the power or authority to represent one whole population or segment of people.    Keep it light and do right, no matter the shades of good and bad.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I once had an event in my old office.    A man that ran a multi-billion dollar company in finance came to talk to some of my guests.    He talked about having to take a step back in his company, so he sold some of his cars, watches, and real estate.    He did this so he could have the capital necessary to build his company to a multi-billion dollar company.    This man needed to take a couple of steps back and advanced the money he was living on into the most capable hands to help him advance his company where he needed to go.    The same applies for everything you do in your life.     Sometimes you have a take a step back to reasses where you're trying to go and sacrifice today's luxuries or comforts for the benefit of tomorrow.    As a result of doing this, he was able to find killers in each area he was needing and was able to sell his company for a billion + valuation.    That's how you manage a team and lead from the front, and sometimes it takes you going to the back of the line and feeding those first who are the most hungry and capable to make things happen that you can't.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

One of the biggest misconceptions most people have is we think other people actually care about us.    And nothing can be further from the truth.    People only care about what they care about.    When it comes to sales, it's important to remember, most popelpe are not going to jump at the first offer you make.    And I see so many people run the typical line of "Hey buy my shit."   "If you like this, then you'll really like this....it's only XYZ-dollars."    The truth is, you have to be a bit smoother when you're approaching people.    It requires you actually caring enough to take the time to find out what they like.    What they think.    What they enjoy doing.    Why they do what they do.     So how do you build rapport long enough to have a conversation and gain someone's trust, especailly if they're a perfect stranger?    I'm glad you asked.    I'm going to cover how to be a socail recon master in this episode and how to leverage it to make more connections.    Build relationships.    Make more offers.    And close more sales.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

OM fait son entrée dans l'univers de Rise Above.

One of my favorite podcasts is the Joe Rogan Podcast.    He always has cool guests on ranging from every day people to Presidents, thought leaders, cutting-edge doctors, and most people that don't get the air time they deserve.    Six months ago, I was listening to an episode where he's talking with his guest about creatin being a powerful sleep aid.    I thought, "That's for working out."    It was the precursor to TRT.    Get big muscles and work out.    But as I listened, I did a deep dive on the company and the supplements that are transforming the way people live and finally get some sleep.    If you haven't heard of the comapny, check out Burst Nutrition based out of Dallas.    This episode has allowed me to sleep like a baby over the last 6 months.    If you struggle with getting restful sleep, I'm sharing my formula that keeps me fresh, rested, and ready to kick ass and take names in less than 6 hours a night.      About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Every week, I log tons of hours behind my desk, at my computer.    I'm pounded by blue screen time every single day, but I have to recharge.    Every Saturday, for the last 3 years, I've run to my ranch in Oklahoma.    It's a quiet, and beautiful space with winding roads and rolling plains.   There I have ponds, ATV roads, a river, cattle, fish, and everything else you can imagine.   It's my workplace for my body.     While I work out every single morening, getting outside and getting dirty is required.    There's always something to collect, piles of wood from fallen branches or trees, fires to start, cows to check on, and grass to cut.     I have no shortage of things to do.    I leave my phone and take off to the wide open spaces every single week.    I've found it's been hugely beneficial for my mental health and my physical well-being.    It keeps me connected to to planet and I look forward to the end of the weekend when I'm physically tired from the work, but mentally recharged to solve problems during the week.    At minimum, I would suggest you spend a full day doing some type of manual labor every single week.    It's juicing for the soul.    Get you some.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

1981 China was nothing but farmers.    Today, it's one of the most technologically advanced civilizations next to the United States, the UK, Switzerland, Japan, and many others.     44 years ago, they weren't.    They had to invest in the tech in order to grow their civilization.   We're in the current age of A.I.     Elon Musk painted a picture of what's to come.    You're already seeing it....   The robots are replacing humans and within 5 years, 20% of the workforce will have been replaced by A.I.   So what does that mean for you?    If you don't accept the tech, you're going to be left.    The changes are coming in 5 years, but you have 5 months to figure out what you're going to do.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

“So now what?” It's one of the questions we hear again and again from visitors to the Raven Beach Shack and people who follow Raven 425 Rise Above online. What's next for Raven 425, the Raven compound, the North Shuswap community and the growing online Raven 425 family? In this episode of United by Stoke, the Raven 425 Rise Above podcast, we go behind the scenes and talk about three areas of growth we're exploring for the future. First is health and wellness. We want to continue expanding the health-focused side of Raven 425 through Contrast by Raven and explore ways to bring more practitioners and wellness experiences to the North Shuswap, with a vision of helping make the area a destination for healing, connection and whole-person wellness. Second is our online community. We want to create more entertaining, educational and story-driven Raven 425 content that gives people a deeper connection to the brand, even when they aren't physically at the Raven Beach Shack. That includes our vision for a cartoon-style Raven Ryda show, as well as more behind-the-scenes Raven 425 Rise Above content created with a team following the journey and documenting what happens behind the brand. Third is online live selling. We're exploring the idea of creating a small studio that would allow Raven 425 to bring products, stories and community directly to people online through live shopping and interactive content. None of this is presented as a finished roadmap. These are ideas, opportunities and directions we're exploring as Raven 425 Rise Above continues to grow. The bigger question behind all three is simple: How do we take what we've built at the Raven Beach Shack and the Raven compound and create more ways for people to be part of the Raven 425 community? That's what “So Now What?” is really about. Welcome behind the scenes of Raven 425 Rise Above. Welcome to United by Stoke.   www.raven425riseabove.com

Research has cited the average person spends 4 hours a day minimum scrolling on their phone on social media.    That doesn't include checking emails, playing games, etc........   That's just social media.    I'm sure I spend more than that on there before noon, but there's intention behind it.    I'm looking for something with intention.    Someone I can offer a product or service to.    A solution that no one has thought of.    A little humor to sprinkle into someone's day.    But, most people don't think about social media like that.    If you're tired of scrolling aimlessly without getting that dopamine hit or validation.........   I'm going to to give you the game here......   About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I'm going to share something with you and I'm not trying to brag, but lean in and listen carefully......   The audience......you know the one you thought you could fool and manipulate?    Well, they got smarter in the last year and a half.    And it's all thanks to tech and the advancements of A.I.    Your everyday consumer is on ChatGPT, watches tons of media daily and is woke to your cleverly concocted offers.    But here's the bad news for you......   You're going to have to work differently to keep their attention.    Engage them better.    And provide an irresistable offer no one else (including A.I.) has thought about........   We're doing things a bit differently at Closer Cap and stacking our tech like Godzilla and King Kong.    If you're not sure where to go, you've got to start with what you're offering to help people with.    Bring your notepad for this one.    And get ready to put in some work!    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Reprendre son pouvoir dans un monde qui veut constamment notre attention.Et si, sans même t'en rendre compte, tu avais commencé à laisser ton pouvoir à l'extérieur de toi?À l'autre.À son regard. À son approbation.À l'algorithme. Aux tendances. Aux trends.À ce qui fonctionne, ce qui se vend, ce qui est beau, ce qui est « in ».Aux images parfaites. À la surconsommation.À tout ce qui te dit constamment ce que tu devrais vouloir, devenir, acheter, montrer… ou être.À force de regarder à l'extérieur, on finit parfois par ne plus savoir ce qui vient réellement de nous.Dans cet épisode de Rise Above, je te parle de cette déconnexion subtile : celle qui arrive quand on remet peu à peu notre pouvoir entre les mains des autres et du monde extérieur.On parle de comparaison, de validation, de réseaux sociaux, de tendances, de surconsommation… mais surtout de connexion à soi.Parce que reprendre son pouvoir, ce n'est pas tout contrôler.C'est recommencer à se demander :Qu'est-ce que MOI, je veux?Qu'est-ce qui me ressemble?Qu'est-ce qui est vrai pour moi quand personne ne regarde?Peut-être que la vraie révolution aujourd'hui, c'est simplement de revenir à soi.

If you're a speaker or coach and that's all you do for a living, your industry is about to be over.    It's not just your industry, but many others.    No one is going to continue paying $50K-$100K per year to be in a mastermind.    Everyone has had to drop their prices, including me.    All of this has to do with A.I.    Demand versus access.    Right now, you have maybe 5 years to really catch traction in something else.    Universal Basic Income is going to be a thing.  If you're not sure what that is, it's where everyone who is not running a business or working in a needed position that A.I. hasn't replaced will be given a universal basic income.  (Think of it as socialism).    Heed the warnings.     The signs of the time are amongst us and your next pivot is going to determine where you come out in everything.    Research.    Grow and develop your skills.    Change is coming and will not wait for you to catch up!      About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Let's flash forward into the future 3 years.     You're applying for a job and you're going up against someone with an MBA.  That person is well-qualified and is probably the more attractive candidate for the job.    Let's say you have an Associates degree, but you happened to learn A.I. along the way.     You've implemented it in every single job you've had over the last 3 years.    When it comes time to getting an offer letter, if the person with the MBA hasn't mastered A.I., they're not going to land that job over you.    That's the good news.    Keep in mind, companies like Sony are not going to come here and invest tons of money and ignore cheap labor.     Sure, they'll be here for a season, but the United States is not going to pay the high wages commanded by the American workforce, especially when there are ways to scale a company by simply using A.I.    There will be no unions to pay, 401K, retirement, etc.    It's not a viable proposition.    I say that to say this............   A couple of years ago, I had close to 100 employees.    Today, I have 30, thanks to A.I.    Each one of them knows how to leverage A.I.   They are agents of A.I. and this is what future employers will be in search of.    So, if you're thinking about what you should be focused on now..............it's becoming an agent of A.I.      About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I was in a Facebook group with mortgage professionals a few days ago and I noticed one person was asking about getting a printed copy of marketing materials I was sharing.    Instead of clowning on the loan officer, the group turned their attention to Real Estate agents citing how important it was to share their marketing materials with real estate agents and hard selling them on selling you as a loan officer.    None of the suggestions were the right answer and it boils all down to one thing.     That one thing requires you to ask certain questions, like, "What does this person need more than anything in their business?"    "How can I best help this person with their marketing efforts?"    Simply, it starts with not making it about you.    The truth is, it begins with becoming a person of value.    So, how do you become a true person of value?    It's not fancy marketing materials, or flashy websites, or co-sponsorships........   It's something more.......   Lean in and listen to find out.....   About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I am not a person who likes to do things the easy way.    My whole life, I've done nothing but do shit the hard way.    And let me tell you..........   The hard way is expensive.    It's painful.    People steal from you.    They run your name down.    They try and snuff out your business, your family, and even take your soul.    Here's what I know about being a hard head.    I'm grateful because of the experiences that gave me the lessons.    I learned how to be a better judge of character.    I learned how to be a good steward of my resources.    I've learned how to be a better father, husband, and businessman.    If I were to do everything I've done in my life, even as painful as it was, I would do it all over again, and not change a thing.    You can go the easy way, but it's a shortcut and you'll do yourself a disservice and miss out on the wisdom you need to truly elevate you in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Success really isn't that difficult.    We waste so much time worrying about what other people have and what they do.    Then we invest our time copycatting what others have portrayed in real life and social media only to find out it's not entirely true.    Success is subjective and the experience is different for each and every person on this planet.    Some value having more time with their family and creating a life that supports this.    Others value having big cars, fancy clothes, and other luxury items.    While others simply see success as building a business that funds a bigger mission like a charity.    But what does it take to be successful?    There's no secret.    But you'll be amazed the one thing you have to do to create it.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

What if the parts of yourself you feel most ashamed of are not things you need to hide or fix, but parts you need to learn to accept? In this episode, I sit down with psychologist and author Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman to talk about self-compassion, neurodivergence, shame, and what it means to find growth and meaning in the face of adversity. Scott shares why you create so much unnecessary suffering by ruminating over how others perceive you, how trusting your intentions can help you stop beating yourself up, and why you can accept and love yourself without necessarily liking every part of who you are. Tune in to discover how to stop reducing yourself to your mistakes or your past and build a more compassionate relationship with your whole self.

Mike Fisher's career has taken him from West Point and flying helicopters in the U.S. Army to leading technology teams at PayPal, serving as CTO of Etsy, and ultimately becoming CEO of MyFitnessPal. In this episode, Mike joins Ilana to unpack the leadership lessons behind that unconventional journey. He shares what the military taught him about giving feedback, building trust, and learning from mistakes, and what he had to unlearn when he transitioned into the tech world. Mike also explains why nearly every major opportunity in his career came through the “hidden market,” why professionals should focus on building skills rather than chasing titles, and what stepping into the CEO seat taught him about imposter syndrome and leading through uncertainty. Plus, Mike shares what ultramarathons have taught him about pushing through dark moments, why great leaders need extraordinary willpower, and why he believes AI could ultimately create entirely new opportunities for entrepreneurs and professionals.

It's amazing what you can accomplish in a year that seems like nothing day by day.    I used to see Realtors do this.    "How are things going for you?"   Realtor: "I'm so busy.  I had 3 closings last month."    Most people waste time hurrying up and waiting.     Instead of doing daily, consistent actions, they wait on something to happen instead of making it happen.    It's a vicsious cycle.    The work has to be done daily and it's not sexy, but it's those little unsexy actions done over time consistently that make the world go around and push things forward in life.    I don't wait to get fat before I have to go to the gym.    I go now because I know it'll take me longer to battle health challenges if my body is out of shape.    I don't eat like a 20-year old.     I eat things that fuel my body.    Same goes for everything we do, but things aren't going to change if you're not taking massive action and simply waiting for things to fall in your lap.    It's not how the universe works.    Get to work.    And you'll see the fruits of your labor manifest.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

It's known that an average life exists in the comfort zone.     And it is known that when you live in discomfort, your body will do everything it can to avoid this space.    The truth is, discomfort is where the growth aoccurs for most human beings.    Think about the last tie you lost love.    Lost money.    Lost friends.    Think about your childhood.     Was it good, or was it uncomfortable.    I've lived many lives of discomfort.    At 18, I got my first apartment.    Ten months later, the cops kicked open the door and took me to jail.    Jail was uncomfortable.    I had no furniture in my apartment and really had none when I got locked up.    When I was married 3 times before and got divorced, I felt the discomfort.    In each and every one of those situations, I used the discomfort of discomfort to make new way.    I worked harder.    Worked longer than everyone else.    And guess what?   I won.     Last weekend, my 2nd oldest and I mowed 10 acres.    Sure, I can afford to hire soemone, but Im teaching my kids about life and how it woks by staying in the discomfort zone.    It's the only way growth happens.    I still got to the gym and work my body daily.    I still do yardwork.    I do chores around the house.    I work later and longer at work.    Why?    In my experience, discomfort keeps me sharp and continuously evolving.    Figure out what you want.    It's waiting for you in the discomfort zone.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

This is a lesson I taught back in 2012.    What I've learned is if you want to have great friends, you have to be a good friend.    You have to make it all about the good friends.    I've watched Ed Mylett and he skillfully makes every conversation about the people even if they're complimenting him.    He gets it.    If you want people to like you, make it about them.    Make sure you like people's posts.    If I'm going to have a big social circle, I have to be engaged with a lot of people.    I have a lot of people jockeying for their attention.    But I still vie for their attention because I still want to be their friend.    I'm not talking about paying their bills.    They're the ones asking how the kids and wife are doing.    They're the ones checking in to see how things are going.    That's what makes a good friend.    Be a great friend if you want to have good friends both online and off!      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I was doing some research the other day on changing out some things in one of my businesses.    I asked ChatGPT what the number one struggle entrepreneurs face and it gave me one of the best answers.    It's not usually the business, it's the weight of the business.    Carrying the responsiblity alone.    Clients.    Partners, and employees may not fully understand the sacrifices made like balancing life and business, making payroll, cutting relationships that no longer support the business.    I created Apex so I could be surrounded by people that understood the challenges in my life.    I might be really good at marriage, but others are better in business.    Get surrounded by really good people with different skillsets than you.    Help those who don't have your skillsets.    Work to become better for you so you can be better for everyone else.    And help them.    That's what Apex is.    And I'm going to continue to build on that because I know it's something every single entrepreneur needs.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Have you ever noticed?     Worst case never happens.    I died one time and somehow I cheated that.    We always think in worst case scenarios.    The probability of the worst thing happening never happens.    Before we had guns, electricity, and war, we were more concerned about getting attacked by saber toothed tigers.    Our amygdala keeps us in the worst case scenario mindset.    It's how we're wired.    It's all fake.    Remember that as you're listening to the naysayers and debbie downers as you make your mark in this world.

The most expensive thing that everybody does is chase the new thing instead of mastering the old.    When something is new, you don't know anything about it.    You think it's going to be easy, but as you get into the day-to-day, you realize it wasn't that easy.    I've had people come work for me for 3 months and quit.    The next person comes in and gets their book of business and makes a killing because they didn't stay consistent enough doing the boring things every single day.    The marketplace gets to know you and your brand by repetition and consistency.    The next time you feel the need to chase something new, stop for a minute and ask if you've mastered what you're currently working to success.    Stay focused and be consistent.    The success comes in doing the most unsexy things.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I've been through a lot in my life.    Adoption.    Prison.    Divorce.    As an entrepreneur, you're going to go through some stress.    Everything that happened to me prepared me to be an entrepreneur.     I've had slow months.    Been audited by the IRS.    And have been hit with things I didn't plan on.    Entrepreneurs are often overweight, out of shape, and have health issues.    The amount of cortisol created from the stress would kill most people.    Remember, it's just business.    This may help........don't take it personal.    Find solutions.    Get focused on those.    Take action and watch your stress levels decrease and your ability to manage it much easier.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

One of the biggest truths about life is we're emotional beings.    We have hormones.    We get emotional.    For men, our testosterone is at the highest levels when we're 18 and start declining after that.    In women, menopause and perimenopause is a real thing.    Many relationships take a beating because of the communication challenges.    I've been on TRT for awhile and it's a game changer beyond the benefits of having more sex and it's not just for men.    Lean in and listen!!!!!     About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Gather round for another parenting storytime.     This one is something that's happened to most parents at one point or another with at least one of their children.    I usually keep a little cash on hand in the event we need something.    I went to dig into the stash cause there's something Amy wanted and I noticed there was some money missing.    We have maids, nannies, and people at the house but didn't want to go accusing anyone, so we started asking the boys.    I called all 3 of my boys outside and told them there was some money missing.    Did any of you take money from my room?   Asher: "No."    Jax: "Yes."   I told them that money was theirs. They worked for it, but all they had to do was ask.   I told them, "If you want something, don't just take it."   I continued by telling them "Guys, your word is your bond and if I can't trust you and you can't trust me, then what are we doing here?"   They aplogized and understood, but let that be a lesson.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I was talking to my eldest son Jax the other day, and he said, "Dad, I got an idea of something you can talk about on your podcast."     I said, "Okay, whatcha got?"   He said, "What's the true key to success?  I know it's staying focused and fighting the force of average, but what is  the true key to success?"    I told him he had it all figured out and I had a proud dad moment, but he said he didn't quite understand what that meant, so I broke it down like this:    Focus + Don't Quit = Win.    Thomas Edison blew himself up 10,000 times before he got it right.     He was out trying to figure things out.    Blew things up.    Burned his barn.    Can you imagine your 10,000 attempts at something and you're still not right?    He finally figured it out.    Imagine the railroads.    People from other countries who didn't quit building the railroads. (Now we have transportation)    The railroad wasn't built in a day.    People today think they need some sort of instant success.    Solve a problem or objective.    Work to solve the problem.    Don't quit.    That's the true secret to success.    That one attempt made by Thomas Edison set their family up forever.    Start thinking like that and you'll never have to worry a day in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I was talking with one of my employees Monico the other day and something amazing happened.    I won't share the details, but it was something you would call a miracle.    It was a miracle.     Unexplained circumstances that worked out better than I could've planned.     And the only thing I can reconcile as what happened was something called Godfidence.    That confidence to act as if it's already been granted by God.    He made you and me.    Every single idea we get is from God, so I feel it as my obligation to put action to every single idea I get. (Well, most of the good ones).    Our creator made us in HIS image.    He doesn't want me to fail.    Most people rely on themselves saying things that aren't true like, "I'm not good enough, I can't do it, blah, blah, blah."    If I still relied on myself, I'd still be in jail.    Divorced.    Broke.    So, I ask God how I can do things.    And I trust him because I know he GODs my back.    He's got yours, too!      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Most people fail at the game of life because they choose not to protect their inner peace.    This is not a hokey podcast episode about the Law of Attraction, even though I believe in that stuff.    What I am talking about it people allowing their validation from external forces or people.    I used to be insecure about the outside world.    I thought if I had a Lambo or Jet lease, I would finally be validated.     I don't have those things anymore, but I'm doing alright.    I have plenty of money and realized I don't need most of the shit this world has to offer.    Just my family, my life, and the ability ot protect my inner peace.    When you can control that, you can be in your true power.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I've been a father for 13 years at this point.     And beyond learning how to be a better person, came the challenge of becoming a better father, but there's a simple fact you have to remember as a parent.....   We don't stop growing when we become parents.    And we don't stop growing when the kids leave the house at 18.    This is a lifelong journey we take with our children.    Year 8 is going to be different from year 13.     Year 13 is going to be different from year 17.    Experiences, challenges, and lessons are all products of the parent-child relationship.    And guess what, you'll never completely master it as long as you are continuing to build upon the solid foundation you established.    If the foundation is wobbly right now, assess where you can make changes.     Be better.    Be patient.    Invest the time to teach with compassion.    Show them the right way and the best way to do things.    If you don't know what is the right way, think about the parents you respect the most.    They'll share their secrets.     Whatever you do, don't quit.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Do you know why most people are scattered?    Because they don't schedule shit.    When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones, gps, or anything beyond a clock and our personal commitment to being responsible for getting to where we needed to be and on time.    Why?    Because if we were late, we got our asses whipped.    So I always made sure I was always 15 minutes early.    If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late.    When I started my business, I had to have a more organized way to get things done on time and on schedule.    When I got married and started having kids, I needed to make sure I made time with my children, my wife, and family obligations.    As I was juggling everything, I had to be more protective and strategic with my time.    And I made a new rule.....   If it wasn't on my calendar, it wasn't real and didn't get done.    I urge you to take this on as a policy in your life.    Schedule things.    Schedule time.    And if it doesn't fit into the box on your calendar, it's not getting done that day.    If you want to get more done and be more productive you have to be more strategic with your time.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Time in does not equate to produced results.    Here's what most people do.   They start working in their profession for 6 months and 10 years later, the only thing they have is repeating the same thing they learned in the first 6 months of their career.    They stop growing.    I go to the gym with people who have been going to the gym for 8 years and are still fat and out of shape.    Sure, they still make it to the gym, but they have not ascended to learning more, eating better, and getting in better shape 8 years later.    That's what most people do.    I have a young lady that works on my finance team and she's been working in her field for 2 years, but has done more for me in the last 6 months than those I've hired in the past with 20 years experience.    It's because she is learning and growing herself in her profession every single day.   So, before you work with someone who claims to have 10, 15, 20 years experience, have them take you through every element of their journey in their profession and ask for the receipts.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

One of the toughest things human beings have to do is battle their fight or flight mechanisms.    I've run through bad programming in my head.    It was the reason I stayed broke.    It was the reason people came for me.    It was the reason I had issues with my businesses.     But when I got clear about the way I speak to myself, about myself, and my circumstances, things started to change.    I say positive things.    Listen to positive music.    Walk when I hear negativity.    Try it for yourself this week and watch how what you say breaks you from the loops that keep playing in your head and playing out in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

What does it take to build the right team in your business?    It's a question most business owners don't ask.    Most operate from a place of finding bodies, outlining job titles, and negotiating wages and putting them to work.     This frees up your time and headaches and gets you out of doing the menial tasks you hate doing or ones that are not a good use of your time.......but.........   This is sloppy.    Without strategic intention in who you hire, you're going to experience drama, high turn over rates, and an overall chaos.    I've had 50 people on my team at any time.     I've had middle management and no matter what happens, my message and vision always gets muddled in the process.    In most cases, it's not even close to what I said to begin with.    What I've learned is I am great at managing smaller teams.    I've had to hire and fire 20 people to find 5 good ones.    My process to hiring and building teams involves getting everyone on The G Code.    Reading a new book every single month.    These days you don't need hundreds of employees to make millions of dollars per year.    You just need the right people with the right skill set and the ability to execute on a singular vision.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Left lane drivers who drag ass at 57 miles per hour are some of the most selfish, self-centered pieces of shit on the planet.    I can say that because they're not a protected class.    You know the type.    They think it's cute to drive 5 miles below the speed limit in a lane intended for going 10-15 over it and it fucks up traffic.    They don't care.    Hell, it doesn't even register that they're the cause of traffic slowing down and in some cases, they're on the phones and in other cases, they're the cause of accidents causing further delays in the process.    This is just one of the ripple effects caused by a society that has been programmed out of caring for others.    Look at our media outlets, social media, and every day engagements........we have stopped caring about other people.    Stopped holding doors.    Stopped saying "thank you."    "Please."    This is a direct result of blockages instituted by the systems that educate our children and a society that has promoted the ideologies of those who want absolute control.    How do you conquer and divide people?  Cut off their communication.    We have been cut off from our source of energy and power.    Rubber soles.    As you know, rubber inhibits the flow of electricity and energy.    I challenge you to break with what's become convention and get back to connecting with other people.    It starts with caring.     We can't take anything with us, but the things we do for people will grow our souls.    Remember, soles can take you where you need to go, but caring and connecting for and with other people will help grow your soul.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

For many years, I chased other things on this planet.    Money.    Cars.     Houses.    Fame.    Businesses.   A family.    And the craziest thing is after all of the chasing of tangible things tied to this Earth, I fgured out what I want.    I'm chasing the purpose of taking complex concepts and breaking them down for everyone to use in their lives.     Put them into practice.    I'm here to teach, help people, and do so in a rough and aggressive way to make it happen.    Jesus did it.    To clarify, I'm not compariing myself to Jesus.    He pissed off the Rabbis, Pharisees, the Roman Empire.......there's a long list.    He never chased people, money, power, fame, or anything like that.    No matter what or who you believe in, once you lock into your purpose, you will be unstoppable.    Believe me.......   I know it.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

It's no secret that humans are conditioned to look for the negative.    The constant battle against negativity rages every single day.    Print.    TV.    Social media.    We can't get through our days without some negative news trying to penetrate our mentality.    What happens when we're faced with negativity is our brains are positioned to fight or flight.    But, what if there was a way to break out of this.    There is a way, and it takes focus, consistency, and practice.    And it's possible to do it easily.    The first thing you have to do is correct the trigger when you want to dive into the same stream of negativity the world brings you.    If someone wants to argue, find a way to diffuse it, no matter who is right or wrong.    When someone comes in and throws things into chaos, don't accept it as a problem you need to solve.    In moments of great stress,  and negativity, motivate yourself with love, gratitude, and abundance.    When you rewire your mind against its nature, you can operate from a place of love.    It's going to take some work, but when you do, watch the world you create change right in front of your face.    Most of the things we worry about never come to fruition.    Follow the path of inpenetrable positivity and let life flow.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

The biggest tin foil hat conspiracy theory we all need to pay attention to is we humans have the ability to think and exist in a bigger way.   From a young age, we're programmed to play smaller.    Why would we do this?     First off, control.    When a colt horse is a colt or a pony, you can tie it to the reigns and to a poll.    Once it realize it can't break free from the pole, it stops fighting.    The reigns are removed and now, they're tame.     The same goes for humans.    If you think you can do something or you can do something, you're right.    How do you do bigger things?    It's simple.    Goaling and regoaling.    If you want to make one million dollars.    Goal number one is $100,000.    Goal number 2 is $250,000.    Goal number 3 is $500,000.    And so on and so forth.    It takes time to hit your goals, but you can't go from 0 to a million.    If you want to make $100,000, you have to make $300 a day.    Set an attainable goal.    Reach the goal.    Reset the goal.    Rinse and repeat.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I don't like being told what to do.    I bet you don't like being told what to do.    No one on this planet likes being told what to do.     But, there's something great about being here.......   We have one another.    We have the wisdom and knowledge of those who have lived, gotten experiences, and learned lessons we haven't.    Most people don't tap into that because their egos don't allow them to do so.    Have you ever had someone come to you telling you how to do something different?    They may have said, "What you should've done, or what you should do....."   Or maybe, they've said, "You're doing it all wrong...."    The ego has an adverse reaction to this, but imagine, you sat and listened for a moment to what they're trying to tell you.    Now, let's say you applied what they suggested.    Imagine it actually worked.    It doesn't make you less intelligent.    It doesn't make you incapable of operating your own life, it's simply a correction from the universe to help you improve your direction during your journey.    Next time you recieve correction, take it as your direction to the shortest path to success.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

The first time I was locked up, I realized that was one moment I wanted children.     The reason?    No one came to see me.    They didn't care.    But I knew if I had children, someone would've brought them to see their Dad.    When I was a kid, I had a step-dad and he did a lot of things good and some not so good, but I learned from him.    I learned the kind of Dad I would want to be for my children. The kind of dad I needed.    This episode is about the importance of Dads.    Over the years, the divorce rate has risen and back when divorce was not acceptable, couples stayed together.    A 25-year study was done and it was discovered that out of the all the people who had been married, the children who had both parents faired better in life over time.    The next most successful group were the ones that had their Dads.     But many people were not allowed to just live with their Dads.  The judges, and the system have been designed to tear children from their mothers.     Why?    Because in the absence of a father, a home becomes weaker.    The individual members become dependent on outside influences and forces.     The government.    School system.    Other parents.    If lucky, the Father's may get 2 hours a week and then every other weekend to visit their children.....   I'll share this with you........   Children need their Dads.    Stop believing a system that is not concerned with you or your family unit.    Fight to be in your children's lives.    Show them you care.     That's the way you beat a system trying to keep you separated from your children.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

There are many times in my life, I had every opportunity to quit.    I could've quit when I got locked up and became a felon.    But I didn't.    I could've quit when I was divorced 3 times.    But I didn't.   I could've quit when I was taken advantage of and stolen from by my clients and my employees, but  didn't.    A lot of this has to do with the fact I kept running this loop through my head.    Not just one, but multiple.    "If it is to be, it's up to me."    "Gotta see it through."    "Fuck Your Excuses."    Those are my 3 loops I still use today when shit gets tough.    When I want to quit.    When I feel supressed.    One thing I know about human beings, is we have so much more in the tank at the point we want to quit.    Keep going.    Find a loop or loops that work for you and run through them.    They'll get you through to the other side of the struggle.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I've got so many friends right now in one of the most popular and lucrative spaces.....   They're making sick money.......   One friend does $2M a week in stem cell sales.    Another just sold his company for $50M.    Peptides.    Testosterone and Estrogen replacement therapy.    Why do I tell you this?    In the coming few months, I'm going to make a move in this space.    I've worked hard and built companies.    And I want to be around for a very long time to enjoy what I have.    If AI is going to replace us all and create a world of Universal Basic Income, we're going to need to be in the best health in our lives.     I may as well invest in that sector so I don't have to only rely on UBI.    I have another friend who sold his company at 55 and had a heart attack.    One of my first mentors told me the biggest regret he had was quitting working out.     He was never able to get back to it because he had let it go.    Remember, Health is Wealth.    You can still move and enjoy the mobility of the world if you start preparing today.    Get to work.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
