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.

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.

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.

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.

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 just had a guy come out and quote me on building a fence out at my place.   He went through everything and we agreed upon a price.    Well, a few days later, he came back and asked me if I wanted the fence painted.    I said, "Sure."    And he replied, "Okay, I'll that'll be an additional XYZ dollars."     I thought that was discussed in our original meeting, but he told me it would be an additional charge.    Okay, I see that happening one time, but he kept coming back.     He hits me with a "And that's not including the additional supplies."    I finally stopped him and said, "man this was all part of our original agreement, but now you're hitting me with almost a quarter more."   So many business people do this and wonder why they're clients get pissed.     I am the type of person who likes to stack all my services and offerings in one list, and include them in the price.   No upsells.    No gimmicks.    No hidden fees.     There's only a few reasons this happens:    Incompetent sales people forgetting to add everything in the initial quote. They're testing your budget to see how far you'll go  They know you have a ton of money and decide they're going to make a run at separating you from it.   Word of advice to you if you're conducting business this way..........   Quit fucking nickel and diming people.........   Try including everything you said you would do in the initial quote and stick to that number.    If you work in an industry where there can be unexpected changes, charge a little more to cover your costs with the condition that if something outside the scope of the service quoted comes up, additional fees may be required.    Try that and see how if it affects your business.    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 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.

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.
