By the time I met my wife, Amy, I was already 3 times married and divorced.    I had one child, my son, Jax.    I was tapped out on marriage, divorce, and everything that comes with it beyond heartache including financial loss.    Well, to my surprise, when I met Amy, I told her straight up.......   I'm not down with mariage at this point.    But over time, as I got to know her better, I learned she had never been married.    And so as we grew, I came to see there might be a possiblity of me getting married to her.    It's not like I was getting younger.    She's everything I'm not and I figured, I can't go wrong with that.   But I also realized part of the reason my first 3 marriages failed was because I was in them.    Well, when we decided to say yes, we didn't come up with a pre-nup.    We came up with a Marital Operating Agreement.    It words a bit better and there are some hard accountability measures  and agreements you have to make in order for the marriage to work.    In this episode, I'm going to break down every single element of our marital agreement from our personal health, raising children, infidelity, managing business, assets and everything you need to consider before you take the plunge.....especially when 62% of marriages are failing.    Lean in close.    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.

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.

First comes the money.    Then comes the power.    And with that comes the freedom, right?    Wrong.    In this episode, I want to reframe the way you look at things.    There are people on this planet that took a different approach to getting to where they are now.    The really successful ones didn't start with the money.    They started with themselves.    Working out.    Eating healthily.    Staying clear of the average temptations of man.    They started reading, learning, and investing in themselves with 0 dollars.    People like David Goggins.     No one messed or cared about him when he was 300 pounds.    It wasn't until he lost all that weight and became the most transformed and fittest people on the planet.    When David gto straight with himself, he started attracting the opportunities.     Wrote a book.    Started speaking on stages.    Same for Andy Frisella.......he was sitting at 320 pounds or so and no one looked twice until he started working out.     Building a new culture at his emprie 1stPhorm.    And then..............   The money came.    Then came the power.....   It's time for a reframe.    Let's go!    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 want you to ask yourself one question........and then elaborate on that question....   "What if it's me?"    That's not keeping my shit on track?    What if it's me because my business is failing?    What if it's me because my family is not operating on all cylinders?    What if it's me if I'm broke?    Now, take that question and take it to the next level.    What if it's me that steps up and pays off debt an elevate my financial status?    What if it's me that is the one that is not waiting on politicians, gods, or any other authority to come and save us?    What I just did this?    Elon Musk asked what if it's me that takes people to Mars?    What if it's me that leads the revolutions and governments to peace and prosperity?    You gotta start stalking your goals.     Hunt them.    God has given you ideas and thoughts you can execute on, but few rarely do.    The next time the thought arrives, say, "it's me."    It's the gift God gave you to be the one person to make everything happen.    Now, change the "What if it's me to "I am he."    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 problems in my life is when you are a different type of human.    I'm saying this humbly.....   My brain works differently versus others.    And I'm successful.    I've been adopted.    Addicted.    Abused.    Imprisoned.    The way my mind works, none of that was able to keep me down.    Don't get me wrong.    I got my ass kicked in every facet of life.    It took people telling me I'm a piece of shit.    It took me continuing to work.    And guess what............   I started making money.    I built businesses.    Created a new life for myself.    I don't surround myself with people that don't push to make me better.    I worked with David Goggins a year before most people knew about him.    Do you think he was nice to me?    Nope.    He told me I sounded like a lazy piece of shit.    I needed that so I could get better.    Most people get offended and mad at you when you tell them the truth.    If you want to get better and keep winning, surround yourself with people that tell you the truth.    Even if it hurts your feelings.    They care enough to tell you the truth.    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.

Over the weekend, my neighbor came to my 13-year-old and told him they had about 130 bales of hay that needed to be loaded.  He told my boy he'd pay him $250 and it would take somewhere around 3 hours.    Jax agreed and off he went.     I knew I had to help him because he's never done anything like that on his own, so as it goes, I end up doing about 50% of the work.     No problem.    That's how I am.    I don't have the patience to be waiting around on people.    We get into hour 6 of our 3 hour job and Jax says, "Dad, let's just finish the rest tomorrow."   I told him I was tired, too, but that we probably just needed to finish what we started.    This is the critical point for most people doing anything in life.....   They get to the hard and tiresome part and quit.    But here's the secret no one will tell you.....   If you're tired, you're only 40% of the way there.    In those moments, that's when you are tested to see if you'll show up and keep your word.    Do the work despite being tired.    Sweaty.    Uninspired.    When we were headed back to the house, Jax looked at me and said, "Dad, I'm glad we got that done.  That was a great lesson."   I hope you take it as a good lesson for yourself, too.    Growth is in the hard work.     But you won't grow if you don't power through the tough parts and make it go!      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 want to improve their lives.    Ask anyone.    They'll tell you yes.    But when it comes down to it, the truth is the way most people will improve.    If someone is fat, and we're telling them that fat people are sexy, we're lying to them.    The powers that be want us to lie to each other.    That's just one example of how we lie to people.    But the problem is society says, "hey, just lie to everyone."    Skinny girls do this to fat girls.    Why?    Because they're competition if they get skinny.    If you want to improve, accept the truth when it's told to you.    I'm not the best communicator, but I have the best intentions of wanting other people to improve, including myself.    Tell the truth and watch your life and those around you improve.       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 I've learned about people is if you don't know who they are, they'll show you.    My friend Derrick J Harper shared a post about someone turning on him that he had helped.     It was destructive.    Heart-breaking.    He helped this family who couldn't do something for themselves.    Fast-forward to the message..........   They started shitting on him instead of being grateful.    That's a reflection of most people you help out.    It's easier to turn on someone who has helped you than to reciprocate it.    The truth is, most people offering help are not expecting anything in return.    The same thing happened to me.........   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.

Let me tell you about some shit that happened to me the other day that really pissed me off.    I got hit in the DM the other day from someone on IG.    The guy is like, "Hey how much for your program?"    While I'm not pushing anything, I was doing a drive recently to our Apex network.    I told the guy it was $1,000.    He's like, "Well, I don't have a $1,000 right now."    I looked at this guy's bio and it said "entrepreneur" etc.     I told him he probably wouldn't be a good fit for our network.    If you're 30 years old and don't have $1,000, what are you doing with your time?    Why are you in this position?    My point is this........   Everyone has problems.......   When I got out of prison, I had $25 to my name.   No place to live.    No place to work.    But, I figured it out.    Let this be a lesson to you.......   If you're in this spot right now, figure out what the fuck you have to do to get out of it!!!!   Everything boils down to choices!    Do something while you still have one.    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.

Are we living in a victim culture? Cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman thinks so - and his new book "Rise Above" is the antidote we desperately need. In this Habits and Hustle episode, Scott and I dive into what separates those who rise above their circumstances from those who stay stuck.

Up to this point, I've had everything I've ever wanted in life.     There's really not much I want or need now.    But I had to start with the beginning.    At first, I wanted money.    I wanted money because I thought and society and media told me I wanted money.    But as I got into everything, I learned really quickly, there are costs to money.    When I started making money, I bought a fancy car, a big house, and then the second year, I bought a watch.    I had already had everything I needed and wanted.    When I started making milions, I hired people thinking I wanted a really big company.    That came with its own set of headaches between more staff and more money.    Here's a little math for you:  When I made $20M with my company and had 50 employees, I took home around $2M.    When I had a company doing $3M, I took home a million.    Put that in perspective.    Almost the same money, but I didn't have my freedom.    For 2 years, I traveled and worked speaking on stages, working 18 hour days , and being away from my family................   Thanks be to God because that 2 year period set me up for life...............   After going through the cycles of what's possible, I've come to realize what I value most......   It's time with my children and my wife.    You see, money can be freedom, or not.    But it's up to you what you really want...........   It's not a one-size-fits-all lifestyle.....   Make a decision about what freedom means to you.....   I bet it has nothing to do with money....   If you're smart, you'll figure it 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.

In life, I've asked for patience.    And guess what I got?    A long wait on things I wanted.    When I asked for integrity...........   I was tested at every turn.    When I asked about having more responsibility, I got more people to care for, and more bills to go with it.    When you're setting your intentions and asking for more, be sure you know what it is you are asking for.    The path you choose will not be easy.    There will be trials.    Tribulations.    And tests to see if you are willing to be who you need to become to receive the gifts you're requesting.    Stay focused.    And realize, everything you want, you can have right now.    All you have to do is ask.    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.

If you have been paying attention in this life, there are many people who are full of shit.   The greatest masters have figured it out, too.   Back in the 60s and 70s, they figured out that if you slow down the sound of a song, you can program people.   It's a real thing........look it up.   We've seen politicians do it......   "I did not have sexual relations with that woman...." (You did the voice, didn't you?)   My favorite is from Pastor Joe O out of Houston......"My daddy left this big ole church to all of us.....he was such a generous man..."   It happens with sales people, digital marketers, and influencers.   They're flashing their wares and using their voices to do it.   Remember this as you're passively listening to people speak or sing.   What goes in, comes out......   The question is, what are they putting in?   You'll know if it's good by what's coming out of you.   Are you moved to do great things and take action?   Are you simply getting that dopamine hit from buying something?   Stuck in a rut of negativity and can't get out?   It may be influenced by what you're listening to.....   Tread carefully, and treat your mind like a vault.......only let things in that you can bank on.   Everything else is just the tone of bullshit.     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 myths about most people is they think they know themselves.    When I say, "know," I mean TRULY know themselves.    We're all guilty of it.     While I'm not a fan of therapists, they would even tell you that you don't know the true YOU.    Out here on this planet, we wear masks.     We conceal our fears, doubts, and create this imaginative "enemy" or competition in our heads.     It's the biggest waste of time and we're all guilty of it.    If you want to compete against anyone, compete against yourself.    Compete against the person you were yesterday.    How are you showing up today?     Are you better or worse?    Were you a good spouse?   A great friend, parent, employee/business owner?    Did you show up as the truest version of yourself or did you put on a mask and hide yourself from the world?   The best thing you can do to compete in this world is to unravel the person that is truly you.    Compete with that person.    At the core, who you truly are is better than who you are showing the world.    Be you.    And you'll have a life most people won't believe.    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.

Once you tell yourself the nearly impossible is possible and you do the work to make it happen, you stop focusing on what's possible.    So, you might turn to certain things that show you figured out the impossible.    For me, I didn't really have the best role models growing up, but I became one of those people.     I bought McLaren's and Lambos.  I've had damn near every kind you can imagine.    Flew everywhere on private jets.    And what I realized was that isn't the real me.     Proof came when the last McLaren (720) I owned didn't get driven but maybe 3 times the last 6 months I owned it, I knew I didn't need it.    It did not show proof of my success.    My kids starting asking me more about going to the Ranch and that's when I leaned in and saw the proof of what I needed to see.    I've been pouring into that more than anything........   My proof of success is in spending time with my kids......   And that's a huge 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.

One of the reasons why I got the name the Hardcore Closer was because of my ability to put deals together others cannot see.    This line of thinking and process has led me to owning multiple properties, commercial buildings, companies and much more.   If you think you have to pay full price for anything up front, lean in and listen to this episode.    I'll show you how I was able to acquire 800 acres, get one year of my note paid, and cut 50% off the principle.    It was easier than you think.      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.

You have to be careful who you let represent your organization.    I didn't learn this lesson soon enough.     I'm not talking about someone who got fired from your team and started talking shit online about the company and you.    They'll do that, but think about things this way:    You hire a sales person who is absolutely manipulative.    Guess what?    When they train your new sales people, they'll train them to be the same.    You have to rank people based on what they are.    Are they a 5 or a 7?     Maybe they're a 10.    Who you put in leadership positions will be the representatives of your organization.    Whomever you put in that place, there's a trickle down effect.    Go for 10s.     The way you find 10s is to establish metrics and KPIs that represent excellence.    Hire those people and let them do their work.    Make sure they represent the core values and mission of your company above and beyond your expectations.    And watch your company thrive on autopilot.      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 lost my shit the other day on my 13-year-old son.    We were fishing and I told him to grab a tool from the toolbox.    A fish had a hook stuck in his gills.    I don't like killing fish.    I love catch and release.    30 minutes before, he was looking for it and never put it back.    I laid into him and tore him a new asshole.    An hour after he was done being mad at me, we had a talk about "Man Law."   If I give you a knife closed, hand it back to me closed.    Same with any other item.    If you spend the night at someone's house, make sure everything was as you found it.    Same applies for the toilet seat.    When we go camping, people leave their trash.    Not our family.  We pick up every little piece of trash and paper.    The law of man is to leave things as they were or better.    Give it back as you found it, or put in back in the place you found it, but no matter what, leave it better than you found it.    This applies to everything 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've got many rules in life and only a couple in business.    Number 1: Don't do business with family.  Number 2: Don't do business with friends.    Don't work with them.    Don't do them a favor.    Don't try to help them out.    Sure, give them a discount, but make sure before you make a committment to your family or friends, it doesn't end up coming to bite you in your ass.    The reason people lose friends when doing business is the emotional connection they have to money.    The emotional connection to the entitlement and lack of gratitude when hard decisions have to be made.    I've done business with a lot of people who were ONCE friends.    If you want friends, or family, don't do business with them.    Lean in, Listen, and learn.      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 hate to be the bearer of bad news.    The way sales used to work doesn't work the same.    We live in a time where the consumer is more educated.    They have access to more information now more than ever thanks to the advent of the internet.    Your hardcore closing techniques will not work against all the information in the world.    The best approach will be to lead with service.    You have to have a service attitude.    It starts with caring what people need.    What they want.    And then, being resourceful and finding exactly what they want.    ChatGPT is slated to be the next big sales disruptor.    Care about people.    Show them.     Help them.    And you'll never have to sell another 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.

The media is lying to you.    They tell you men need therapy.    Even Joe Rogan has been talking all about men needing therapy.    I have been to therapists.     If you are a providing man, the truth is, it's going to be hard.    It will be lonely.    You will be living a life of conditional love.    Most people have problems.    Business owners, fathers......they're all surrounded by conditional love.    Our children.......as soon as we can't take care of them, they're out on their own.    Our wives.......if we can't provide the life they dreamed of, they'll leave us......   It's conditional.  Everyone leaves when you don't provide for them.     Instead of rallying around men in struggle, we leave them.    If you have 10 friends, 7 of them will move in on your spouse when you hit hard times.    They'll move in on your business.    Your business partners.    Your clients.    This shit has happened to me in 2017 and 2024.    As a man, when you go through a tough time and you tell another man, they'll use it against you.    There have been moments in my life where therapy was required..........   But there's one thing better than that......   Lean in and listen.    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.
