Welcome to the rewire podcast. I'm your host, Ryan Stumann, and I'm here to rewire your mind for success.

You were put on this planet for success. You were created to succeed, but the force of average is after you every single day, my brothers and sisters.

And this podcast is the one thing that's designed to help you fight the force of average and excel in

every area of your life. We're glad that you're here. The dog that chases two rabbits

or a metaphor, however you want to look at it for your life as an entrepreneur. Twice a day,

almost every day I'm having this conversation. Dude, my main hustle is good, but I got this side hustle and I want to go in on it.

And then I can get the main hustle doing this and the side hustle doing this. It's like,

you don't even have the main hustle focusing or functioning optimal performance. So why would you

start something else? This is why, because we as

entrepreneurs, we're plagued with ADHD. And so, you know, the next new shiny object seems a lot
