Hey everybody, Chandler Bolt here.

And joining me today is Ryan Leveck.

Now, Ryan is the number one national bestselling author of the book, Ask.

And in 2008, armed with nothing but a $450 laptop, an Ivy League background and neuroscience of all things,

and an insatiable curiosity to understand why people buy.

He left a lucrative career on Wall Street and later a career in Shanghai, China,

to launch a multi-million dollar online publishing business, selling information and software products using what's now

become the ask formula as taught in his number one bestselling book ask now since then ryan has

used the ask formula to help build a multi-million dollar or a bunch of multi-million dollar

businesses and 23 different industries generating over a100 million in sales in the process.

And I'll give you guys some numbers because these numbers are just kind of mind, mind-shattering

to me, which is that he's generated over 3 million leads, 175,000 customers across 19

different markets.

And those numbers are just in the last 23 months.

Now, Ryan and I met last September of the event called Titans of Direct Response with Brian Kurt.
