There comes a point where you have to stop and ask—am I truly living in God's calling, or have I been chasing something else? That's the heart of Ryan's conversation with Justin. In an honest discussion, Ryan lays everything on the table, reflecting on the weight of provision, the wounds he's carried, and the realization that true change begins when we confront our struggles and align our lives with Jesus. Ryan's journey wasn't easy. The world had misled him—success, striving, and performance had become distractions. Success felt like a trap until he realized the truth—he needed to find Jesus. That moment changed everything. Too often, people separate faith from work, but Ryan believes every space is an opportunity to engage with believers. As a leader, he builds strong, resilient teams—not just through skill, but by being grounded in faith, authentic in action, and purposeful in pursuit. Men feel pressure to perform, to succeed, but if we don't know God, we can't fully live out His purpose. Ryan challenges us to stop wasting time on things that don't align with who we are and instead pursue what truly matters. Life isn't easy, and those who seek more will face trials. But Ryan reminds us that even in hardship, God is working. The real challenge isn't just enduring difficulty—it's being willing to reflect, recognize what needs to change, and trust that God is leading us toward something greater. Provision isn't just about what we receive—it's about how we pour into others and allow others to pour into us.

Ryan James Miller coaches entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and executives, helping them to bring out their best and crush their goals. His message, Be Authentic, is about bringing Personal Clarity, Purposeful Rhythm, and Proper Perspective to high performers. This allows them to turn from a success-focused life to a freedom-focused life. Ryan's commitment to authenticity was catalyzed after surviving the 2017 Route 91 Harvest mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. But that event became far more than a catalyst. It was an awakening to see how his parent's divorce, his own marriage almost ending in divorce, the near failure of his business, and so many other difficult moments and seasons actually helped him to become the high-performer he is today.
