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.

All right, I got to brag a little bit.

This weekend, I have my 13-year-old driving and loading up rocks on his tractor, and I have my 12-year-old in the skid steer loading up rocks.

We moved over 10,000 pounds of rocks across the ranch cleaned up a massive

amount of construction waste from our house that's finally done being built i had these kids

operating equipment pushing brooms digging holes moving rocks man they worked for 20 hours this

weekend Saturday we showed up at 10 a.m we didn't stop till 10 p.m. Then Sunday, we worked all day from 9 a.m. to probably 5 p.m. as well. These kids were just out there. They earned their meals. I promise you that, man. And they didn't complain once. They loved every minute of it. They loved hard work. They all slept in the truck on the way home.

They told me thank you when we got to the house. They told me thank you when I stopped at raising

canes and got them some food. These kids were grateful. And it just reminded me of my superiority

over all of you as a father. I'm a better dad than any of you. I'm bragging. I'm like the

facts of the facts, ladies and gentlemen, it's not because my kids at 12 and 13 and 7 and 3. My 3-year-old operates equipment. My 7th, she's not heavy enough to weigh down the seat, but she can drive them with her hands if I'm weighing down the seat. She drives her own four-wheeler. My 7-year-old, he weighs over 50 pounds. He weighs down the

seats on all the equipment. I say that not because that's cool and that's an achievement as a dad,

but the achievement is the attitude they have while they're doing it. The achievement is the

high five when they both get off the tractors at the end of the day and they see the amount of

rocks that they move. I had a palette of a hundred bags of masonry mix that was left over, and I went to go store it because you never know when you're going to need it for something else, and I got to put some bricks up around my barn anyway. So I go to store it and write three foot before where I'm about to drop it off, all hunter bags fall on the ground. They're 85 pounds of

bag. So my boy, 12 and 13 are picking each bag up, takes two of them to get a bag up. I'm throwing bags. They're picking up bags. So they picked up 50. I picked up 50. They didn't complain. They high-fived each other after it was done. We did it. We got it. Dad, don't spill the next one, I had two ballots to pick up. The second one I didn't spill thing on. When I was

in prison, if I didn't have any kids, I told myself, when I get out, I'm going to be the dad I never had. And, you know, one day I may fail at business. One day, I may fail physically. Something could happen to me. I've already broke my neck twice and I've broken a lot of bones and shit because I do dumb shit. Something could put me in a wheelchair and end me. It could end my business. But

nothing, nothing will ever make me an inferior father. Nothing will ever make me not the best dad

on the planet to these kids. And because I care, I don't spoil them. I make them work hard. But because I treat them
