What leads someone to become an entrepreneur?
And what happens when the early programming and patterns of life that lead to success are no longer serving you?
About half a year ago I shared my experiences I had during and after Burning Man, on my own journey of personal development.
I realized that I had been operating my life through the lens of "Not Being Enough" which lead me to a lot of behaviors and thought patterns that I want to change.
In this follow-up I expand on my thoughts about validation, ego, purpose, and how to bring your life into alignment.

0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Ryan here. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for hanging out with me. Hey, it's now |
0:06.1 | been almost six months since I had an experience that I shared here on the show. I'm sitting in the |
0:13.7 | chair where I shared that episode, which was called You Are Enough. And that experience and that podcast was a discovery that I had last |
0:26.3 | September when I was at Burning Man where I realized that I had been operating my entire life |
0:33.6 | through the lens of not being enough, which is what led me to a lot of the behaviors that |
0:40.5 | now I want to change. And as I've worked through a lot of therapy and as I have worked through |
0:47.1 | a lot of self-reflection, I have found that a lot of my character traits that I don't like come from experiences that I had |
0:58.3 | between the ages of 12 and 14 when my parents were splitting when I was changing schools when I was |
1:04.8 | trying to figure out who I was as a man as I went through puberty alone in a now fatherless home. And I've really realized |
1:15.4 | how much of my behaviors that I would call negative come from that part of my life. So it's |
1:22.7 | been about six months since I had that experience. And I've continued the work through the last six months. |
1:31.4 | And I've discovered a lot more ever since then. And I first of all want to thank all of you who |
1:37.2 | have reached out on Instagram through social media, who have written in via email. This has been my most well-received podcast in a long time. |
1:50.8 | And it's very humbling and vulnerable to share the kinds of things that I have been sharing |
1:57.8 | on the show lately. So thank you for the love and the acceptance that you've sent my way via social media. |
2:04.0 | And so many of you, particularly men, have reached out and said, I thought I was the only one. |
2:10.7 | I thought I was the only one who operated my life this way. |
2:13.9 | And me sharing about this has given some freedom for many of us hard chargers to realize |
2:21.8 | what is underneath the hood of what makes us hard chargers. And I'm fascinated by this. I am fascinated |
2:30.6 | and become even more fascinated with the human psyche and why we do what we do as |
2:36.0 | I go deeper into the work. So that was six months ago when I started sharing that, when I had |
2:43.3 | that experience for myself, when I started opening up about this. But going deeper under the hood, |
