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. You know, I've changed a lot over the years.

If you go back to 2008, 2009, you look at my YouTube and Facebook. I dressed in clothes from

Coles and didn't cuss. Talk like Ned Flanders. Hey, diddley neighbor.

I was kind of just trying to find out who the fuck Ryan was. At that time, Ryan was embarrassed.

He had some felonies and that he was, you know, working a job. And the economy was struggling a little bit back in 2008, 2009.

I was fresh out of prison, 2010, 2010, 2012. I'm

trying to discover myself as an entrepreneur. I barely kept my hair cut. I wasn't taking care of

my physical appearance that well. I was working 50-hour days. That's how we got 48, 7, 48 hours

a day, 7 days a week. Man, it was absolutely crazy. And in 2014, one day I did a

podcast and I just kind of came out and owned all my shit. And I said, you know what? Now that I've

owned everything, I'm just going to be who I think I am. And I thought I was this loud mouth shit

talking sales trainer. You know, and I started wearing short sleeve shirtsleeved shirts to show off some of my tattoos that I had

that I had previously cover and started cussing because that's how I am in real life anyway.

And at some point, I got pretty famous, all things considered. And I wind up on stage with all these

amazing people. And I realized that that's not the path that I wanted to go down. My path was never, hey, I want to be famous. I want to be an influencer. It was I want to run a business, impact people and change lives. And a lot of you listen and think, oh, well, he runs a coaching business. I don't. I'm not a coach. I haven't done that for a long time. We run a lending business and a business association, which is like a membership portal with

benefits behind it, as well as a software company and a real estate portfolio. So coaching is not something I do. I haven't done it for a little over a year. And so when I say that, it's like I never wanted to be that. It was just so many people asked me to coach them. And I'm like, okay, cool. So I did that for a couple years, but it wasn't me.

So many people asked me to speak on stage And I'm like, okay, cool. So I did that for a couple years, but it wasn't me.
