Summary
A funny thing happens after entrepreneurs have a big win.
Some dark, hidden part of us begins asking pretty terrible questions:
What if I never repeat that success?
What if it was a fluke?
What if I'm not that good?
What if it was all my partner?
What if I'm getting too old?
What if I'm washed up now?
Even with evidence that we can win - because we have in the past, there's this little part of us that is prone to feeling shame. Especially when we're hanging around people who are further ahead of us in business or in life.
So, how do we process that? How do we see ourselves clearly? And how do we use that awareness of "I'm not there yet" to move forward?
After hanging out with a few friends in Vale, CO who are richer and more successful than him, Ryan talks about his own insecurities.
In this podcast, Ryan discusses how you can work with the self doubt and shame you might carry with you to serve you rather than to cripple you.

| 0:50.3 | And there's a small group of us that are good friends, all at least are in Austin, |
| 0:56.5 | Texas part of the year, and we've developed a really deep friendship and a very supportive, loving |
| 1:03.1 | friendship. They were my quarantine buddies. When the world shut down, they were my core group of |
| 1:10.7 | friends that we kind of agreed. we would only see each other. |
| 1:16.2 | You know, when everybody was really cooped up, they were the friends that we kind of, you know, |

| 1:29.1 | time together. And this was maybe, I think this was our first time celebrating outside of, |
| 1:36.7 | you know, in a post-COVID-ish world, in a world where we're mostly back to normal. So I'm feeling really fresh and rejuvenated from that trip. |

| 1:53.7 | difficult experiences for me, but beautiful experiences. |
| 1:57.5 | And there are experiences that I want to share with you because as a result of talking about |
