One day the cops kicked in my door.

Oh, boy.

They gave me 15 months in federal prison. So now here I'm a millionaire. I'm married and I'm about to go back to federal prison. Ryan Steumann. Ryan Steumann. The hardcore closer, Ryan Stumann, welcome to the show. Take us back. What was your childhood like? When I was young, my parents divorced. My father left, he never came back. I ended up getting adopted by my stepdad. And his answer for everything was violence, right? And so I started selling drugs. By the time I'm 20, I got to go do two years in prison for this $200 worth of Coke. I'm like 120 pounds, and I'm chained to a dude that's been hustling on the streets, lifting weights, going back to prison again. No way. Dude, it traumatized it. I decided that life wasn't for me. So when I got out, I became a good car wash person. One of the customers at the car wash came in, she goes, I do mortgages. I like to give you a job. I'm like, what's a mortgage?

It would take me six months to make $6,800 in the car wash.

She left me for one of the landscapers.

a movement that's going on to change billions of lives and continues to live on for them.
