Today, I'm going to take you down a different path.    It's the dark side of things.    It comes from a time where I started going down the deep dive into the internet.    A lot of it has to do with my life.    There were some very prominent rappers that met in the Hills in LA. They were offered stock in a very strong military complex.   They had to promote violence, drugs, and everything else you can imagine.    This is going to be a heavy episode, but one worth listening to.    There are lessons.    Experiences.    Lean in and take notes.    About the THC Podcast  Nothing is off-limits in these weekly episodes of the Hardcore Closer Podcast with Ryan Stewman.  Politics, Finance, Religion, Tin-foil hat theories, and interdimensional space aliens.  Ryan Stewman takes a very factual approach to simplifying the most complex things we are experiencing in real time in this timeline.  Leave your feelings at the door and buckle up for a fresh perspective with no fluff, and just the hardcore stuff that reality is made of.

One of the greatest stories ever told was told in the Bible.    It's in Genesis.    A story about a man named Joseph, not Jesus' Earthly Dad, but another Joseph.    A pair of brothers sell their brother Joseph into slavery to a man named Potiphar.    Joseph gains favor with Potiphar and works in the house.    Potiphar's wife asks Joseph to take her to bed, and he refuses.    She rips her clothes and Joseph is taken into custody on her accusation.    Long story short, he interprets a dream for a Pharoah and is liberated.    Out of this story comes my favorite word to this day.    Listen for the 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.

One of the best things that ever happened to me was being given up by my real dad.    The next best thing was being abused by my step-dad.    I know, it sounds dark, but here's what happened as a result:    When my kids arrived on this planet, it pushed me to not quit on myself.    When another child was introduced into my life (Amy's son Asher), I took on the role of including him and even successfully adopting him.  (I know what it's like when people quit on me; I wasn't going to do that to him)    As a result of having these children in my life, I had a chance to be the father I didn't have.    I'm not completely shitting on my 2 dads............I did learn some good things from each one of them, but the biggest gift they gave me was the clarity needed to become the Dad I needed.     I became that Dad.    If you told me tomorrow was my last day on this planet, and asked me one of my greatest accomplishments, it would be being a father to my children and excelling in this area.    My kids are good kids.  They have manners and use them.  They know how to operate heavy equipment and are responsible with it. They're good to other kids and teach them things I've taught them.    Their main objective is to outlive me and out perform me during their lifetimes.   They're already ahead of the game.    Here's my message to Dads who may feel they're coming up short in their kids' lives........   It's not too late.    Be the Dad you needed.    Be present.    Be helpful.    Be a good teacher.     That's all you have to do.    It's really that simple.    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.

In 2018, I wrote a book called G Code.    The premise is it's the Code to Greatness.    G Code is the solution to the Force of Average, something that attacks and affects all of us.     The G Code is about being the best in our gratitude, our genetics, our grind, and group.    Being grateful for 5 things or people every single day.    Working out and eating healthily to keep our bodies strong.    Grinding and working to the best of our ability so we can provide for our families.    Being surrounded by only the best people in our group.    When I get fucked over, I am grateful for the lessons.    When I lose, I am grateful to have the experience to do better next time.    When I win, I am grateful for all of the struggles that allowed me to get there.    You should take this to heart and start charting your GCode.  Download the free software at:    https://dailygcode.com/   It takes 21 days to solidify a habit.     If you're going to have a habit, make sure it's one that fills you with gratitude.   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 author, coach, influencer industry is on it's way out.     Love it or hate it, it's the truth.    Back in the early 2000s, the Nigerian prince emails started coming out.     They were scamming people and soon after, Nigerians started getting arrested and the scam was exposed.    Something simliar happened to EBay.    Craigslist, same thing.    When I started doing the online information business, I made videos.    I'd purchase a camera.    Editing services.    And hosting services.    Youtube only allowed for 8 minute videos, so I had to create an hour long training and sell it as a package.    Over time, Youtube opened up the recording to 10 minutes and I was able to expand things and cut expenses.    Back in 2020, this industry started to really explode.    What I learned was those who couldn't or didn't know how to operate a business, started coaching people.    That's what I did as a result of not being allowed to make loans in the mortgagge industry.    But I was able to coach people on how to use social media and was able to make a living.    Right now, all of the coaches, influencers, and authors are starting to be exposed.    Marital challenges.    Financial hardships.    Everything was getting exposed.    I'm the Kat Williams of this industry and I know all the secrets.     I just store it and people are really struggling to sell event tickets.    I'm having a hard time now selling tickets.    But I'm okay with it.    I don't want to be grouped in with the grifters, and reduced my prices by 80% in Apex.     I'd feel like an asshole charging you $150K to coach with me.     This is why I made the pivot into Closer Capital............   In a season of people asking for you to donate or fund their investment deals, I'm loaning it out and I've already crushed my 5 year plan.    Lean in and listen.    I've laid the roadmap out for you right here.    About the THC Podcast  Nothing is off-limits in these weekly episodes of the Hardcore Closer Podcast with Ryan Stewman.  Politics, Finance, Religion, Tin-foil hat theories, and interdimensional space aliens.  Ryan Stewman takes a very factual approach to simplifying the most complex things we are experiencing in real time in this timeline.  Leave your feelings at the door and buckle up for a fresh perspective with no fluff, and just the hardcore stuff that reality is made of.

As we enter into the golden age, I want to share something with you.    The golden age comes every 10-11 years.     I've seen it 3 times in my life and guess whay........   This will not be the last time you see it either.    If you've benenaround for 30+ years, you'll see the opportunity of what's about to come in.    During every golden age, we trick ourselves into believing the lie............the lie that it will last forever.    Take heed.     I wake up every single day and think, "I can afford a bigger house."    "I can afford to have more cars, more property, and even a jet."    But, do I really need something bigger?    The short answer is no.    And neither do you.    If you want to stay insanely wealthy.............especially during the golden age, hold on tight.    Live below your means.    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 have to be honest.  I am not on the front lines of sales these days.    I have a killer team that can answer things better than I can.    I stay in my lane.    My lane is marketing, and making it rain.    I spend time coaching my sales team based on my experience as a consistent closer.    There are 3 ingredients when it comes to closing more sales:    Value has to exceed price Client recieves an immediate ROI On Black-Friday is the last day they get the discount   Whenever you can put those 3 elements into a sales conversation, this is a recipe for success.    And yes,    It's that simple.    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 have a friend named Bobby Castro.    One of his favorite phrases is "Stack'em and Rack'em Savages."    And what that means is when you land one win, keep going for the next one.    Stack them bitches up.    For most people, they'll get a win and coast.    When I worked at the car dealership, no one would help the people walking in.    Instead, they'd be calling their leads or be conveniently at the copier.    They completely ignored the low-hanging fruit.    When I worked at the mortgage company, I worked the CRM, called, the leads, sent emails, and in a very short order of time, I was top producer.    And it's all because when I got one win, I'd stack another.  But you have to leverage the tools you have at your disposal every single day, win after win.    Stack'em and rack'em savages.      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.

Back when I was coming up, I was fortunate enough to have met the late Zig Ziglar.    I've also met his son who has come to my office a couple of times.     Zig wrote a book called, "See You At the Top."    He said something in that book that struck a cord with me..............   "If you help enough people get what they want, you'll get what you want."    This addage still holds true.     But not for most people.    Most people are more concerned with what they need.    What they want.    And as a result, they end up chasing a bigger house, better paying job, vacations, and status, only for it all to slip through their hands.    This is your chance to be the 1%.............   You may have to help 5,10, 15, or 20 poeple get everything they want before you get what you want.    Remember that.    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 is you have more time.......   The truth is, you don't.    And if you invested the last 20 years of your life trying to life it according to the standards of society, you may be a little behind the curveball in terms of what the next 5, 10, 15, or 20 years of your life look like.    And that's not a bad thing.    I'm sure you've had some great memories of what you've done in your life.    You've probably started a family, got married, bought a home, took vacations and lived up to the limits of your income, never saving for a rainy day.    Worse yet, you probably didn't invest a 10th of what you made over the last 20 years and created something for the future.    This episode is all about fast-tracking you to true generational wealth and big surprise, it is not too late, despite what you may have heard from those who don't know.    Lean in and listen close.    I'm about to change your life in the next 20 minutes and set you up with a clear cut plan to generational wealth for the rest of your lineage's time here on this planet.    About the THC Podcast  Nothing is off-limits in these weekly episodes of the Hardcore Closer Podcast with Ryan Stewman.  Politics, Finance, Religion, Tin-foil hat theories, and interdimensional space aliens.  Ryan Stewman takes a very factual approach to simplifying the most complex things we are experiencing in real time in this timeline.  Leave your feelings at the door and buckle up for a fresh perspective with no fluff, and just the hardcore stuff that reality is made of.

This one is going to blow your mind and I'm going to tune you in to a mass exodus that's been happening in the Digital Marketing space and business in general.    The days of "Greed is Good" are over.    They're coming to an abrupt end quickly.     The reason?    No one is buying bullshit.    Not your bullshit or anyone else's bullshit.     We live in a world where if you've not figured out how to provide value at an exponential scale, you are not going to be running your own business for long.    Recently, I've made a shift and my grand vision for what I'm doing has required me to give away the thing that was my main thing at 80% off and it's on track to be given away for free in the near future.    For now, I'm focused on helping as many people get what they need to help them succeed.    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 had a guy reach out to me on Sunday morning in the DMs at 7:30 am.   He wanted to talk business.    That's cool.    I'm a busy guy and love business, but this guy was once in the Apex network I created.    He was in for a few years.     Over that time, he had access to me, just like most poeple that come into our network.    I've helped him with multiple things in life and business over the years and this particular morning when he reached out, I fired back at him asking why he wasn't asking the person he currently has as a mentor.    As I was drawing boundaries and pushing back on him, I reminded him of a time I offered to help him build out his AI platform for a nominal $5K.  Well, he backdoored me and went straight to the source.    He didn't like that much when I presented facts and further asked why he wasn't talking to the guy he hired to mentor him.    The truth is, there aren't many in this space I'm in that would take the time to entertain his questions on a Sunday morning.     Let's just say he didn't like the boundaries I layed down for him.    When people don't respect you, or value your time, they won't respect or value your boundaries, either.    It's a huge red flag.     Pay attention.    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.

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.

After years of relentless touring, financial hardship, lineup changes, and violence, Hermosa Beach hardcore pioneers Black Flag finally unleashed their debut full-length Damaged in 1981.With 20-year-old newcomer Henry Rollins entering the fold, the band delivered genre-defining anthems like “Rise Above” and “Police Story” while also pushing boundaries on the raw, experimental “Damaged I & II.”Conflicts over the album's distribution sparked a lawsuit from the label, ultimately delaying the release of their equally influential (and polarizing) follow-up. Nevertheless, Damaged stands as the product of Black Flag's blood, sweat, and defiance, and remains a towering pillar in punk history!Recommendations:Salome - SalomeSalome - TerminalThou / Salome - Our Enemy CivilizationThanya Iyer - TIDE/TIEDMachine Head - The More Things Change...Propagandhi - At Peace⁠For all updates on Riff Worship follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Riff Worship on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Review's from the Dylbozer's Din⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our official playlists:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hits from the Crypt (Apple)

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.

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.

In our current landscape of business and life, we are constantly tearing down the artifice we've created.    The "Bro" culture and our vernacular of how we communicate has created more work for us in how we connect, engage, and conduct our lives and business.    There are many great sales trainers and sales seminars out there, but things have been too complicated considering the amount of technology we have at our disposal.    They've almost become vague, deceptive, and unclear.    This is a breeding ground for many things like wasted time.    Wasted resources.    Wasted energy.    If you want to get more of your time, attention, and focus back, start with the offers you make in friendship.    Your family.    Your business.    Communication can be clear and concise if you're certain about what you want.    If you're ready to invest your time where you get a direct return on your attention that is truly productive and not just satiating your appetite for a dopamine hit, this episode is for you.    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.

  The other day I was watching a Youtube vide of a homeless guy walking around in LA.    My 13-year old walks in and bless him.....he's a rich kid.  He's in private school and has no real concept of the rest of the world, even though I educate all of my kids on the various crevaces there are.    He's never been in a situation where he's had to deal with homeless people on the street.    He asked me why don't homeless people just get jobs?    There are 2 massive sectors of our society that have power.     There are the oligarcs of our country like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Zuckerbergs, Jeff Bezos, and there are the broke.......    There's a phrase coined by Daymond Johns.......it's "the power of broke."    If you know broke, you know you have nothing to lose so you do everything you can.    The rich have everything to lose.    If you want to be either one, you don't want to lose that mentality.    As you start having more, you'll have to communicate differently opposed to those who have nothing to lose.    If you want to stay rich, keep that edge and you'll never go broke 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.

One thing you need to know in life, especially as an entrepreneur is you're going to lose money.    Whether you leave it in your jeans pocket and wash it or lose money from a business transaction go wrong, take the lesson in each one of those experiences.    Once I bought into a seed round of a company that is publicly traded.     I spent $100 K but I was thinking it would be huge like FB. They valued it at $3 billion, so I thought once it goes public, the price will shoot through the roof.    I was wrong.    It was only worth 62-cents a share by the time they launched their IPO.    People get upset when they lose money, not realizing they actually paid for the lesson or experience.    My loss has been taken on paper.  This was one of the lessons I learned.    The second was learning more about the company's debt and if they're hemorraging money.    These are lessons that allowed me to learn lessons so I could make better investments the next time they came around.    There was a year when I lost $1.5 million in investments with companies I thought were solid.    I asked my wife why God would do this to us.     She simply stated, "Be grateful it was at a million and not 10."    So, when you take risks and make investments, don't sit too long with the failures, but pull the valuable and priceless experiences you got from them that have prepared you for the future.      I bought in at  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.

You probably don't know this, but I used to be an electrician's helper.    They called me spider monkey and I'd carry cables and wires through the ceiling.    This is where I learned about currents.    Money is very much like a current.    When you start saving it up, it's stops.    The key is to keeping it moving so you can keep the currency (current flowing) of your money.    If I know I'm making $100K  and $50K is going to go to my cost of living, how do I take the other and create streams of currents (currency) that helps my money grow.    Whatever you spend, expect to get a return for every dollar you spend.    If you have expendable cash, put it into something that generates you more cash.    This is how you keep the current of currency flowing.    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.

You remember Charlie Sheen?    He came up with the best line of that year.    When he was asked about sleeping with hookers.    Having aids.    Being on drugs.    His simple response when asked about this, he felt like he was "winning."    If I make $10M a year, it's winning.   For someone like Ed Mylett or Donald Trump, having $20M a year is broke.    The key to an abundant life is having gratitude.    Staying in shape and living healthily so I can enjoy the fruits of my work.    Focusing on my finances is important.  If I watch those and be a good steward of them, I can have what I want.    Having a specific group of people around me is important.     Spending time with the right people, working with the right people, and only talking with those I want to speak to has become more important than ever in being able to keep my peace.    Stay focused on these four main areas of your life and you'll start to win, 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.

When I became an entrepreneur, it wasn't about making money.    Don't get me wrong, money is nice, but it wasn't my focus.    I'm not a fancy guy.    And I'd rather be riding a tractor than at a car show driving a Lambo.    Believe me, I've fallen into the tramp of big houses, fancy watches, and driving 6-figure cars.    I had a friend that was contracted through the federal government and was banging out 2 B a year in sales.    The truth of my wanting to be an entrepreneur has everything to do with being free.    If I want to tell people to fuck off, I can do so without people pulling sponsorships, investors trying to blackmail me, and everything else that goes with becoming a target from grifters and shitbags.    The question for you as an entrepreneur is, "What do you really want?"    If you have more money, there's probably something deeper.......   Take a look at that and create the clearest path to that so you can live happily, and freely.    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.

We are on the teetering edge of a massive economic recession.    I know what you're going to say........."Trump, blah, blah, blah...."   No, this started a long time back.    We've seen the stock market rise and fall.    Bitcoin swelled to astronomical heights.    Our current real estate market is about to get whooped more than it has been lately.    The boomers have maybe about 15 years before they kick the bucket.     This means, a big wealth transfer is coming once they leave.    When I started seeing this shift a year and a half ago, I started trading in my cars, fancy watches, and real estate.    I'd rather be sitting on my ranch with head of cattle I can sell if shit gets tough.    I have been liquidating everything in my budget that doesn't fit because I'm getting ready for the opportunities.    In about 6 months, shit is going to get real tight.    You'll thank me if you start liquidating everything you can.    Prepare yourself.    It's better to be prepared and have it not happen than not be prepared and have it tank you and your family.      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.

Other's projections are not your self-reflection.    My first job, I was 7 or 8 years old and sold landscaping work.    I have been in the people business for many years.    Every time someone has called me a name or accused me of something, it's usually because it's a reflection of themselves.     I get attacked online quite a bit because I've said some polarizing things.    People would say, "that's dude's on coke!"     If you spot it, you got it..........   Those that have accused me of certain things or being a certain someone, are usually the ones that are perpetrating the projections.    You don't have to answer the projections of those who can't see their own reflection.    Stay focused on you and the things you do and know, you don't have to respond to lies.    The best defense is success.     Keep being a success.    God will handle the rest.    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.

We go through seasons in life where the bad days are really bad days.    Sometimes the good days are the good days.    And then we are running days that seem like we're only barely making it by.    The thing is, you have to treat all days the same.    Most people allow the type of days they have to determine what they do and don't do.   In the past 2 years, I've had many reason of why I should just quit.    Quit recording podcasts.    Quit operating my businesses.    But I did the work any way.     My commitment to showing up is stronger than my desire to quit.    And there is not one good, nor bad day that will dictate whether or not I keep going.    Things always average out they way they're supposed to.    If you continue doing more than you want, you'll always have more good days than bad days.      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.

Life has left us clues.  Those that came before us left us clues.  Clues of how life can be tough, challenging, and also rewarding.    Sometimes we're quick to discount stories of the past based on the time when people didn't have shoes, or maybe had to ride camels or horses, but the lessons...............   The lessons of how to overcome challenges in life are the same because they're built on the foundation of principles of life.    Things come and go.     I remember when VCRs were the newest innovation and we could watch our favorite shows anytime we wanted.    I remember caller ID and voicemail machines.    This episode this week features Kayla Perez.  She's a 1stPhorm brand ambassador and one of the few people to climb Mount Everest.     This came from our recent Apex Quarterly Meet Ups with Entrepreneurs where Kayla tackled another fear of hers...........   Public speaking.   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 taken a lot of courses on leadership.    Read a lot of books on it.    Been to tons of conferences.    I do not believe I am a leader, but I've been designated as one from the people I serve.    I don't know why some of these people follow me and turn to me for advice.    I wasn't a leader in school.    Wasn't a shot caller in the prisons or a gang leader.    What I do is just do what's best for me.    As a result, I see people coming to me to help them do the same for them.    If i have problems, I have to figure them out.    I'm not going to share them with others.    I keep it to myself and figure shit out.     If it is to be, it's up to me.    I learned this from a guy at the car wash where I worked.  He was from the Brian Tracy organization.    That stuck with me.    The leader doesn't get bailed out.    They have to be good at figuring things out by themselves.    In order to be a the best leader I can be, I have to be a really good follower.    Once you master this, you'll have people following you, but it requires you to help them.    Do this and you'll never have to beg people to follow you.      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 think one of the most powerful things you can do as a human being is being conscious of your strengths and weaknesses.    If you know your weaknesses, then you know what you need to work on.    For me, it's my emotions.    I've been working on controlling them.    I respond to violence.     David Goggins trained me on this very thing and it worked for me.    I talk to myself this way.    It's degrading to others.    I understand I have a weakness in my communication.    For the last 10 years, I've been working on this.    It's a power move to work on your deficits.    I listen to books.    Talk to people.    Take in podcasts.    Talk to ChatGPT to help me improve.    I'm constantly searching for a solution to address my weaknesses.    I turn my weaknesses into strengths by simply doing the work.    I hate burpees, but I do more because I'm weak.    Identify and know your weakness so you can improve and eradicate it.    You're always going to have something to work on.    Stay focused.    Get conscious.    Be better and do better.    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.
