As crazy as it may seem, just 3 years ago he really couldn’t even tell you what it meant to be an entrepreneur and he was ridden with over $200K of debt.   This all changed in the summer of 2016, when he booked a solo trip to Kenya to go explore after realizing that he was approaching burnout at his day job. That trip changed it all. While there he met tons of others traveling the world long-term and he knew he had to figure it how he could do the same.   The challenge was all the debt and not knowing how to make extra money. After many failed projects and attempts, he started getting some traction and was able to pay off all his debt (including his house) and quit his day job to pursue his passion of helping people spread their message through podcasting.   In this interview, he talks about how to get out of debt, why he left corporate, and what he has learned about business.   Learn more about Ryan:   Facebook- fb.com/prhelms LinkedIn- bit.ly/ryan_linkedin Podcast-Hustle to Freedom  Websites- legacypodcasting.com  melville.app   Book Launch link  https://www.facebook.com/groups/juliebooklaunch

This will greatly impact the major ads platform ability to serve these types of ads, which will drive more advertisers into the podcast world, driving CPMs up.We dive into the content creation and look at different content strategies that podcasters can use to generate content. In addition, we talk about some common mistakes new podcasters make with their content.  Big media companies and people with big influence like presidents have taken into podcasting.

Hello Everyone! Today, I share with you the very first episode of LEAP. LEAP was birthed in September 2018 in the wake of Denver Start Up Week. It was during that week a friend of mine mentioned casually that he had a podcast. In my inquisitive nature, I listened to one of his shows (a 2 part series.) The particular podcast featured Ryan Helms, the founder of Grit and Hustle and a feature of that conversation wrapped around Ryan's Side Hustle Journal. As I followed this path, I downloaded and began using this journal to organize my thoughts around some ideas I had been postulating. In my shear excitement, reached out to Ryan immediately to share my gratitude for this journal and shared my big idea. His Response - think about doing a podcast. Long story short, that was the birth of LEAP. So, today, in honor of Ryan's gift to me, I share with you the inaugural LEAP podcast. Ryan and I dive into how a whim of a trip to Africa birthed his company, Grit and Hustle and how that has turned into a 6 figure side income. I hope that each one of you enjoy your time with this program and thank you for being a part of this journey with me. You can find Ryan on Instagram @ryan_helms_atl and at gritandhustle.co -- where you can also find his podcast, the Hustle To Freedom Podcast. ---- To learn more about Leap, the podcast and coaching services, please join us on our LEAP Facebook page at facebook.com/whatsyourleap Schedule a Discovery Call at calendly.com/whatsyourleap ---- Produced by: David Margittai | In Post Media Website: inpostmedia.com Email: david@inpostmedia.com Social: @_margittai © 2019 Jocelyn Bellows --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whatsyourleap/support

So you are working a day job and you are wondering what can you do to get to your financial freedom sooner, rather than later!??!! I met Ryan who is living that life. He has a great day job, but he also wants to do something on the side to help build his financial foundation. Ryan not only figured that out, but he created a system that makes it possible to use his discretionary time wisely. Tune in on this interview as Ryan shares his secret!! Grant: Welcome to another episode of financial investing radio, so I'm very excited because I have in the house with me today, a visitor that I just recently met through someone that I know online and they pointed me to this person. They said, Grant, you need to talk to this person because he's doing a kind of investing that I know a lot of people in the corporate world think about, which is this uncertainty of what's gonna really happen to what's going on in my life, but without going any further. Well let me back up and stop and say, welcome. Ryan. Would you take a moment and introduce yourself? Ryan: What's up everyone? Ryan Helms here coming to you from right now, dark outside Atlanta, Georgia. But uh, yeah, I've been in Atlanta for about five years now. And uh, you know, I create content to help people with nine to five jobs, create freedom in their life. Grant: That's really cool. So how did you arrive at this? I mean, you just one day say, hey, this might be a good idea. Are there must've been some sort of impetus that got your attention and said, hey, I better do something about this? Ryan: Yeah, so for me, I, moved up to Atlanta for my job, which I have no disdain for at all and I came up here and I spent about the first two years I really kind of nose down kind of work, like you know, I'm going to make a name for myself in this company, which has worked out quite well. It was a good strategy, but it got me to a point where I wasn't burnt out, but when I looked up it was on the horizon and I knew I had to like step back, pull myself back for a bit. And unfortunately when you're early in your career in corporate America, you get about two weeks vacation and yeah, it's kind of unfortunate, but I'd used all two weeks of that because I sat on the couch which is about eight feet behind me right now. And I bought a plane ticket to Nairobi, Kenya and had no. Yeah, I had no plans at all. I was literally scrolling the Internet, had no intentions to buy a plane ticket on that Friday night, but I purchased that plane ticket because it was $750 and I thought, man, that's a pretty good deal to go all the way to Africa. I did that and that was in July of 2016 and I made the trip November of 2017 or no, November of 2016 and you know, while I was there it was just. First of all, it was an amazing experience. It's like going on a safari and spending a week on Zanzibar and all this, all these cool things. But you know, as cliche as it sounds, I really had like this epiphany moment when I was there. I was meeting all these people that were doing all these great things in their life that we're allowing them to have this freedom to travel. Like I was meeting people from all over the world and oftentimes they had different paths on how they got there and how they were traveling. Some of them were on vacation like me, but a lot of them were traveling for like two years and I'm in a year and all these things and when I left there I didn't necessarily know what I wanted to do because I'd never had that mindset before. It was always like it was. Yeah. That was like working in the corporate, Grant: So you are thinking "Hey, I'm being a good employee." So you're in the grind, right? And then you saw a flight where price was away from value. I think they call it a sale, right? There's a sale and you're like Nairobi, let's go! So you run into these people out there that are like, they're traveling around. So this pop that idea in your head. All right. And keep going. What happened? Ryan: Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, I'm on the plane ride back from, from Nairobi, Kenya, coming back to Atlanta and I said I, I need to, I need to create this freedom my life. Unfortunately I look at my bank account and I was about $55,000 in debt, not counting like my mortgage. So like consumer debt. And I said, alright, so how can I expedite the process of paying this debt off? Because that was the, that was the first thing hanging over my head that I knew if I wanted to be free quote unquote free, however you define that for me, it was financially free. Like I didn't want the burden of, uh, have that hanging over my head and have to make decisions based on money. So, uh, I said, how can I speed this process up? So the next thing was how can I create alternate streams of income? Right? So when you're working in a corporate environment, you can't just walk up to your boss and say, Hey, give me a 20 percent rate. Is that Grant: Well, you can try that, but how far does that go? Not far! Ryan: So, uh, so I just started to, for one pull the reins in on my finances, on my budget, things like that really started to understand it because I made good money for my age being at this time, probably like 28 or so, uh, and made good money enough to where I never had to look at my bank account. And I never did. I just knew I had enough money to spend and never was like, it was like I didn't know the password to my Wells Fargo account, that kind of thing. I just knew that I could do what I want it to do and not have to look at my bank. Grant: Maybe you were rich in the world's terms in the sense that you didn't have to look at your bank account, you were free a little bit, right? And you said you didn't have to look too much. But when you saw these other people on your trip you realized your current salary wasn't giving you the freedom at the next level. And that was the epiphany, right? Ryan: Yeah, absolutely. So I spent a, I spent some time figuring out how could I, how could I help speed up the process of, of paying this debt down. Uh, and then I came up on, okay, I'm going to start a side hustle, so I'm going to do something outside of my day job to help, uh, put me down this path. And the first thing I did was always been into fitness and things like that. So I started this a fitness business on the side focused on corporate individuals and it was called corporate fit in. That was going well in through that process though, I had a lot of people asking me how I was doing everything because at this time I was traveling around the world for my job, so I was constantly on the go and still putting out content, still building this business on the side and I didn't know how to answer people and they said, how are you doing it? I was like, I don't know. I'm just, I guess I'm doing what everybody else will be doing if they were doing this. Now stepping back though, I realized it was the systems, right? That's what was allowing me to, to manage all these moving parts in my life was how much I had systematize things. So that was a turning point for me. I said, okay, I don't really see myself doing this fitness thing. It doesn't thrill me. Like I enjoyed fitness because I liked working out. I didn't enjoy it as much when I was helping other people. I created the why. First off I had said, all right, I have a process, I systematized my life in this way to enable me to do this, and I sat down and put pen to paper. The output of that was a physical product called the side Hustle and journal, which I ended up launching on kickstarter a November, so almost about I guess 10 months ago now. November of 2017. Grant: Cool. Alright, so 10 months on Kickstarter. So you said something interesting you came up with this system, the system that the intent of the system has to help someone take themselves through the fitness experience. Is that right? Ryan: So the system that I was referring to was the system on how I was actually a managing my nine to five job, quote unquote, doing all this stuff on the side, hanging out with friends, still still having some form of a social life. That's the system I remember referring to it Grant: That's your system lead people to help them create their side hustle; while they have another job. So there's a lot of people that are in that situation right there. They've got the day job, they want to figure out the side hustle. You've got the system where you figured this out. So it's been 10 months, it's been out there. What's been the impact of that? What have you seen? What have been the results? Ryan: Yeah, it's been cool. So on, on it was really challenging because like I said, I had no audience at all going into this space and I went in it kind of backwards to most people. Most people start like on the content creation side, build some awareness for their, their personal brand, things like that. I like to make things difficult for myself. And went with the physical product right off the bat. Surprisingly I convinced 600, a little over 650 people on Kickstarter to back the project. Uh, so that was a good start to kind building my list. It was kind of a jumpstart to building my list. And since then it's been awesome. I've been really focusing on interacting with that community, really giving them an authentic view at me. So making it, like really showing them, I'm not a guy just selling them a product, I'm a guy like them. I'm a guy on this journey with them, uh, trying not so much to put myself on this pedestal above them. Show them that, hey look, I'm just following what I'm doing. I'm just like you, like if you come on this journey with me, what we're going to cross the finish line about the same time. So that's what I've been doing the past 10 months is, is bringing people on that journey, uh, leveraging the physical product itself as a way to get people to come on that journey with me. Right? So that's, that's the entry point into my ecosystem right now. Uh, so yeah, that's kind of where I've been at the past 10 months. Grant: That's amazing. So, so the style of investing, given financial investing, radio style of the investment here is that you have a way to leverage your discretionary time to produce additional income in your life and make a change without rocking the boat in terms of, you know, you're stable work and stable for now all with the intent that you're shooting towards. So do you have an idea how long it would take for someone applying your system? Regardless of how they apply? Right. I mean they could apply it anywhere from a creating embroidery products to selling books or whatever. Right. You use it for anything, is that right? Ryan: Yeah, for sure. Grant: So if they applied the system, what sort of timeframe would they expect as a two year or three year process where you think they could break free financially or get to that next level? Or does that depend hard to say? Ryan: It's probably too hard to say based on individual factors, but I think what you'll gain right off the bat is the systems that will enable you to leverage this time and actually like it's like finding, you know, you find money in the seat cushions and things like that so that you find time in all of these places that you don't realize you actually have time and it all goes back to just being very intentional about what you're doing and you know, the journal itself and the system within the journal is about discovering like what do you want to be intentional about and then how can you maximize your time around it that could give you time to do a lot of things. Not only could it give you time to invest in yourself by, you know, creating a side hustle or a business on the side, but I mean you could even, it could free up time to do actual investing. Maybe the stock market is what you're really into, right? This system. So could be the foundation for developing your new investing strategy. Doing the research, who you want to getting more methodical about those processes that are required to do really anything, whether you're investing in yourself or in the market, so, uh, it could really be applied to anyone in the amount of effort that you put in will determine the speed in which you reach it. Grant: I heard a seminar recently from a guy by the name of Alex Charfen. You ever heard of him? Ryan: Yeah. Grant: And Alex was, he said something that sounded kind of similar where he said that he has this thing called a a time study, I think was the term he used, which was take a moment to think about how you're spending your time. And he said, I guarantee if you take two weeks to really evaluate and log and write down how you're spending your time, he said you will find places where you are wasting a ton of time and that will free up to then be able to do the kind of system you're talking about. Is that right? Ryan: Yeah, absolutely. And I agree 100 percent. If you don't put it down in front of you, you'll think you're efficient with your time, but there's going to be inevitable gaps in the product says, you know, the reason I put out a physical product for this and I've had so many people saying you need to make an APP, you need to do this. It's because there's so much activity going on in your phone, right? There's so many things and beings and bongs like every two seconds for something like this as important as like getting time back and, and, and creating something great, but out into the world, you need to carve out a section of non-distracted time and really figure out, you know, what, what do I need to do, how can I get there? So that's, that's what I'm all about. Exactly. As you know, putting it down on paper and putting it in front of you and visualizing it. Grant: How much, how much non-distracted time does a person need in order for, to, to make some effective progress? Is Fifteen minutes enough or does it need to be more? Ryan: Uh, for me, I think it needs at one given time. I think it needs to be more, I think the, the uh, you know, the length of period of time should be definitely longer than 15 minutes. I would say at least 45 minutes so that you can, it'll take you 15 minutes, get focused on what you want to do and if all you have is 15 minutes and you have 15 minutes every two hours, yeah, you may be getting, you know, three hours worth of work in that day, but you'll probably only get about 15 good minutes worth of work as you will be starting over every 15 minutes. And as soon as you start to get in your groove, you're going to be, it's going to be over again. So I like to try to carve out a larger block of time of at least an hour so I can make sure I can get focused on what I'm trying to do and actually execute on something. Grant: I think that makes a lot of sense. I've seen multiple studies where people have identified the cost of a distraction in terms of productivity in every time we get distracted with the amount of time it takes in order to get the context back into your head so that you can begin to be productive again. That sounds like that's what you're describing. Absolutely. I used to. I used to ride a lot of code earlier on in my life and my career and every time I'd get distracted, right, it pull me away. It would take me a long time, like 15 minutes, get get into mine, mine everything where I was right in solving a particular problem. It was so expensive to do that. It sounds like you've optimized on that principal to help people invest in themselves, to invest in their future by taking advantage of the discretionary time they have to really reach the real goals. That's cool. You're good. Anything about goal setting as part of this? Is that. Is that a key part of your system provides? Ryan: Yeah, so the product itself, I always say like the backbone of this tool is what I call it, a molehill system. Grant: So why, why do you call it the mole hill system? Ryan: Uh, I was sitting at a Starbucks one Saturday morning working on this and I knew I had this system in it and just from a marketing standpoint, I knew I had to name it something, right? It couldn't just be, it couldn't just live in here. And I was thinking and I was like, man, I was like, don't make a mountain out of a molehill because that's what a lot of people do. You have this, this little obstacle in your way and you just stay in there for months looking at it because you're just so terrified of it. So like the, my thought there is, is you're breaking down, you know, this big mountain into these really manageable mole hills that you can just easily surpass on a daily basis. So the mole hills or things that you're doing every single day and the mountain is what you get at the end and you don't actually ever have to climb the mountain. It's just basically the finish line at that point. Grant: Oh, I see. So the mole hills or series of steps that take you up to the mountain. So what's been the impact of people that have applied the system so far? What have you seen? Ryan: Yeah, so that's one of the coolest thing for me is the satisfaction from just seeing people use the tool and the community that it's creating. So one of the things I did with the Kickstarter was create where it's like an accountability system. So I said, you know, if you want to back this tier, one of the things that you'll, one of the offers in this tier will be all partner you up with somebody. And actually just, this has probably been about three weeks ago now, but I got a uh, I got a email with a picture in it from two guys. And at first all I saw was a pitcher and I was like, why are these two guys sending me a picture? And they were in Milan and I can tell they were in Milan because of the cathedral and the, and one of the guys was from Switzerland and one of the guys was from New York and they were sending me the email to say, thanks for connecting us. This is my accountability partner. We decided to meet in Italy. We'd been working together for the past eight months using the journal. So yeah, things like that are just awesome. And just to realize that you're impacting people and knowing that there's probably other people out there that aren't sending you those emails that are impacting as well. So it's been very, very cool. Just to, uh, just to see how an idea in my head most nights mostly created in a Starbucks down the street is changing people's lives. Grant: That is really awesome. I appreciate you sharing that. That's all happened. Just within the 10 months since you put it out there, if someone wanted to go find your materials, wherever they go, did they go find it? Yeah, Ryan: Sure. GritAndHustle.co; it literally right there on the front page. If you want to check out the side hustle journal, you can get it for free. Just download the free PDF there and if you want to get a hard copy you can get that as well, but feel free to just download the paper version printed out, see if it's for you and if it's for you, awesome. Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. Grant: That's awesome. Very good. Okay. Any last comments, thoughts before we wrap? Ryan: Just, you know, a lot of people say this, I think it could actually further closing comments, but just take action. Get out there, create freedom, whatever that means for you. Like for me, uh, I think about freedom as being financially free to do what I want to make decisions, not based on money. Freedom for you may mean something totally different. So figure out what that means for you. And then start taking action so that you can get there. Grant: Okay. So it's GritAndHustle.co. Got it. Excellent. Ryan, thank you for joining. This is Grant. Thanks for joining another episode of Financial Investing Radio. Until next time, take some action.

  My guest today is Ryan Helms, the founder of Grit & Hustle. Last November he raised over $13,000 on Kickstarter to launch a tool called the Side Hustle Journal that gives 9 to 5'ers a system to turn their business idea into reality no matter how busy they are. After a spontaneous trip to Africa he realized he needed to get his shit together and create a system so that he could have the freedom to take more trips and experience more out of life. He created a rough draft of what would eventually become the Side Hustle Journal, and he was able to pay off $35,000 in debt in 6 months by simply executing on his business plan. Now the Side Hustle Journal has helped hundreds of other aspiring side hustlers to do the same. He's sharing those stories through the Hustle to Freedom Podcast that is launching March 26, 2018.  Check out gritandhustle.co to grab your copy of the Side Hustle Journal!
