What if 90% of entrepreneurs are doomed to fail in 2025... but you could beat the odds? In this explosive episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Ryan Pineda—ex–pro baseball player turned real estate mogul, investor, and digital disruptor—who went from broke rookie to building multiple 7- and 8-figure companies before age 35.

 

Ryan doesn't sugarcoat it: talent won't save you, hustle alone won't scale you, and why most people stay broke. From flipping hundreds of homes and launching a 200-agent brokerage to building Wealthy Investor and his newest play, Mastermind 19, Ryan's blueprint is simple—stack recurring income, leverage brand, and make your money work harder than you do. He even drops bombs on why YouTube golf may mint more millionaires than the PGA Tour—and how faith, free will, and discipline are the ultimate edge in business and life. Ryan also drops truth bombs on Tai Lopez's alleged Ponzi scheme involving bankrupt businesses—discussing investor risks, accountability, and why due diligence is key in a rigged economy.

 

This isn't motivation—it's a wake-up call. If you're tired of watching others win while you grind in circles, Ryan's story proves you don't need a league, a lottery ticket, or luck. You need the right playbook—and the balls to run it.
