I've been a father for 13 years at this point.     And beyond learning how to be a better person, came the challenge of becoming a better father, but there's a simple fact you have to remember as a parent.....   We don't stop growing when we become parents.    And we don't stop growing when the kids leave the house at 18.    This is a lifelong journey we take with our children.    Year 8 is going to be different from year 13.     Year 13 is going to be different from year 17.    Experiences, challenges, and lessons are all products of the parent-child relationship.    And guess what, you'll never completely master it as long as you are continuing to build upon the solid foundation you established.    If the foundation is wobbly right now, assess where you can make changes.     Be better.    Be patient.    Invest the time to teach with compassion.    Show them the right way and the best way to do things.    If you don't know what is the right way, think about the parents you respect the most.    They'll share their secrets.     Whatever you do, don't quit.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Do you know why most people are scattered?    Because they don't schedule shit.    When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones, gps, or anything beyond a clock and our personal commitment to being responsible for getting to where we needed to be and on time.    Why?    Because if we were late, we got our asses whipped.    So I always made sure I was always 15 minutes early.    If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late.    When I started my business, I had to have a more organized way to get things done on time and on schedule.    When I got married and started having kids, I needed to make sure I made time with my children, my wife, and family obligations.    As I was juggling everything, I had to be more protective and strategic with my time.    And I made a new rule.....   If it wasn't on my calendar, it wasn't real and didn't get done.    I urge you to take this on as a policy in your life.    Schedule things.    Schedule time.    And if it doesn't fit into the box on your calendar, it's not getting done that day.    If you want to get more done and be more productive you have to be more strategic with your time.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Time in does not equate to produced results.    Here's what most people do.   They start working in their profession for 6 months and 10 years later, the only thing they have is repeating the same thing they learned in the first 6 months of their career.    They stop growing.    I go to the gym with people who have been going to the gym for 8 years and are still fat and out of shape.    Sure, they still make it to the gym, but they have not ascended to learning more, eating better, and getting in better shape 8 years later.    That's what most people do.    I have a young lady that works on my finance team and she's been working in her field for 2 years, but has done more for me in the last 6 months than those I've hired in the past with 20 years experience.    It's because she is learning and growing herself in her profession every single day.   So, before you work with someone who claims to have 10, 15, 20 years experience, have them take you through every element of their journey in their profession and ask for the receipts.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

What does it take to build the right team in your business?    It's a question most business owners don't ask.    Most operate from a place of finding bodies, outlining job titles, and negotiating wages and putting them to work.     This frees up your time and headaches and gets you out of doing the menial tasks you hate doing or ones that are not a good use of your time.......but.........   This is sloppy.    Without strategic intention in who you hire, you're going to experience drama, high turn over rates, and an overall chaos.    I've had 50 people on my team at any time.     I've had middle management and no matter what happens, my message and vision always gets muddled in the process.    In most cases, it's not even close to what I said to begin with.    What I've learned is I am great at managing smaller teams.    I've had to hire and fire 20 people to find 5 good ones.    My process to hiring and building teams involves getting everyone on The G Code.    Reading a new book every single month.    These days you don't need hundreds of employees to make millions of dollars per year.    You just need the right people with the right skill set and the ability to execute on a singular vision.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Left lane drivers who drag ass at 57 miles per hour are some of the most selfish, self-centered pieces of shit on the planet.    I can say that because they're not a protected class.    You know the type.    They think it's cute to drive 5 miles below the speed limit in a lane intended for going 10-15 over it and it fucks up traffic.    They don't care.    Hell, it doesn't even register that they're the cause of traffic slowing down and in some cases, they're on the phones and in other cases, they're the cause of accidents causing further delays in the process.    This is just one of the ripple effects caused by a society that has been programmed out of caring for others.    Look at our media outlets, social media, and every day engagements........we have stopped caring about other people.    Stopped holding doors.    Stopped saying "thank you."    "Please."    This is a direct result of blockages instituted by the systems that educate our children and a society that has promoted the ideologies of those who want absolute control.    How do you conquer and divide people?  Cut off their communication.    We have been cut off from our source of energy and power.    Rubber soles.    As you know, rubber inhibits the flow of electricity and energy.    I challenge you to break with what's become convention and get back to connecting with other people.    It starts with caring.     We can't take anything with us, but the things we do for people will grow our souls.    Remember, soles can take you where you need to go, but caring and connecting for and with other people will help grow your soul.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

It's no secret that humans are conditioned to look for the negative.    The constant battle against negativity rages every single day.    Print.    TV.    Social media.    We can't get through our days without some negative news trying to penetrate our mentality.    What happens when we're faced with negativity is our brains are positioned to fight or flight.    But, what if there was a way to break out of this.    There is a way, and it takes focus, consistency, and practice.    And it's possible to do it easily.    The first thing you have to do is correct the trigger when you want to dive into the same stream of negativity the world brings you.    If someone wants to argue, find a way to diffuse it, no matter who is right or wrong.    When someone comes in and throws things into chaos, don't accept it as a problem you need to solve.    In moments of great stress,  and negativity, motivate yourself with love, gratitude, and abundance.    When you rewire your mind against its nature, you can operate from a place of love.    It's going to take some work, but when you do, watch the world you create change right in front of your face.    Most of the things we worry about never come to fruition.    Follow the path of inpenetrable positivity and let life flow.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

The biggest tin foil hat conspiracy theory we all need to pay attention to is we humans have the ability to think and exist in a bigger way.   From a young age, we're programmed to play smaller.    Why would we do this?     First off, control.    When a colt horse is a colt or a pony, you can tie it to the reigns and to a poll.    Once it realize it can't break free from the pole, it stops fighting.    The reigns are removed and now, they're tame.     The same goes for humans.    If you think you can do something or you can do something, you're right.    How do you do bigger things?    It's simple.    Goaling and regoaling.    If you want to make one million dollars.    Goal number one is $100,000.    Goal number 2 is $250,000.    Goal number 3 is $500,000.    And so on and so forth.    It takes time to hit your goals, but you can't go from 0 to a million.    If you want to make $100,000, you have to make $300 a day.    Set an attainable goal.    Reach the goal.    Reset the goal.    Rinse and repeat.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

By the time I met my wife, Amy, I was already 3 times married and divorced.    I had one child, my son, Jax.    I was tapped out on marriage, divorce, and everything that comes with it beyond heartache including financial loss.    Well, to my surprise, when I met Amy, I told her straight up.......   I'm not down with mariage at this point.    But over time, as I got to know her better, I learned she had never been married.    And so as we grew, I came to see there might be a possiblity of me getting married to her.    It's not like I was getting younger.    She's everything I'm not and I figured, I can't go wrong with that.   But I also realized part of the reason my first 3 marriages failed was because I was in them.    Well, when we decided to say yes, we didn't come up with a pre-nup.    We came up with a Marital Operating Agreement.    It words a bit better and there are some hard accountability measures  and agreements you have to make in order for the marriage to work.    In this episode, I'm going to break down every single element of our marital agreement from our personal health, raising children, infidelity, managing business, assets and everything you need to consider before you take the plunge.....especially when 62% of marriages are failing.    Lean in close.    Take notes.      About the THC Podcast    Nothing is off-limits in these weekly episodes of the Hardcore Closer Podcast with Ryan Stewman.  Politics, Finance, Religion, Tin-foil hat theories, and interdimensional space aliens.  Ryan Stewman takes a very factual approach to simplifying the most complex things we are experiencing in real time in this timeline.  Leave your feelings at the door and buckle up for a fresh perspective with no fluff, and just the hardcore stuff that reality is made of.

The first time I was locked up, I realized that was one moment I wanted children.     The reason?    No one came to see me.    They didn't care.    But I knew if I had children, someone would've brought them to see their Dad.    When I was a kid, I had a step-dad and he did a lot of things good and some not so good, but I learned from him.    I learned the kind of Dad I would want to be for my children. The kind of dad I needed.    This episode is about the importance of Dads.    Over the years, the divorce rate has risen and back when divorce was not acceptable, couples stayed together.    A 25-year study was done and it was discovered that out of the all the people who had been married, the children who had both parents faired better in life over time.    The next most successful group were the ones that had their Dads.     But many people were not allowed to just live with their Dads.  The judges, and the system have been designed to tear children from their mothers.     Why?    Because in the absence of a father, a home becomes weaker.    The individual members become dependent on outside influences and forces.     The government.    School system.    Other parents.    If lucky, the Father's may get 2 hours a week and then every other weekend to visit their children.....   I'll share this with you........   Children need their Dads.    Stop believing a system that is not concerned with you or your family unit.    Fight to be in your children's lives.    Show them you care.     That's the way you beat a system trying to keep you separated from your children.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

There are many times in my life, I had every opportunity to quit.    I could've quit when I got locked up and became a felon.    But I didn't.    I could've quit when I was divorced 3 times.    But I didn't.   I could've quit when I was taken advantage of and stolen from by my clients and my employees, but  didn't.    A lot of this has to do with the fact I kept running this loop through my head.    Not just one, but multiple.    "If it is to be, it's up to me."    "Gotta see it through."    "Fuck Your Excuses."    Those are my 3 loops I still use today when shit gets tough.    When I want to quit.    When I feel supressed.    One thing I know about human beings, is we have so much more in the tank at the point we want to quit.    Keep going.    Find a loop or loops that work for you and run through them.    They'll get you through to the other side of the struggle.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Over the weekend, my neighbor came to my 13-year-old and told him they had about 130 bales of hay that needed to be loaded.  He told my boy he'd pay him $250 and it would take somewhere around 3 hours.    Jax agreed and off he went.     I knew I had to help him because he's never done anything like that on his own, so as it goes, I end up doing about 50% of the work.     No problem.    That's how I am.    I don't have the patience to be waiting around on people.    We get into hour 6 of our 3 hour job and Jax says, "Dad, let's just finish the rest tomorrow."   I told him I was tired, too, but that we probably just needed to finish what we started.    This is the critical point for most people doing anything in life.....   They get to the hard and tiresome part and quit.    But here's the secret no one will tell you.....   If you're tired, you're only 40% of the way there.    In those moments, that's when you are tested to see if you'll show up and keep your word.    Do the work despite being tired.    Sweaty.    Uninspired.    When we were headed back to the house, Jax looked at me and said, "Dad, I'm glad we got that done.  That was a great lesson."   I hope you take it as a good lesson for yourself, too.    Growth is in the hard work.     But you won't grow if you don't power through the tough parts and make it go!      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Up to this point, I've had everything I've ever wanted in life.     There's really not much I want or need now.    But I had to start with the beginning.    At first, I wanted money.    I wanted money because I thought and society and media told me I wanted money.    But as I got into everything, I learned really quickly, there are costs to money.    When I started making money, I bought a fancy car, a big house, and then the second year, I bought a watch.    I had already had everything I needed and wanted.    When I started making milions, I hired people thinking I wanted a really big company.    That came with its own set of headaches between more staff and more money.    Here's a little math for you:  When I made $20M with my company and had 50 employees, I took home around $2M.    When I had a company doing $3M, I took home a million.    Put that in perspective.    Almost the same money, but I didn't have my freedom.    For 2 years, I traveled and worked speaking on stages, working 18 hour days , and being away from my family................   Thanks be to God because that 2 year period set me up for life...............   After going through the cycles of what's possible, I've come to realize what I value most......   It's time with my children and my wife.    You see, money can be freedom, or not.    But it's up to you what you really want...........   It's not a one-size-fits-all lifestyle.....   Make a decision about what freedom means to you.....   I bet it has nothing to do with money....   If you're smart, you'll figure it out.   About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

It's known that an average life exists in the comfort zone.     And it is known that when you live in discomfort, your body will do everything it can to avoid this space.    The truth is, discomfort is where the growth aoccurs for most human beings.    Think about the last tie you lost love.    Lost money.    Lost friends.    Think about your childhood.     Was it good, or was it uncomfortable.    I've lived many lives of discomfort.    At 18, I got my first apartment.    Ten months later, the cops kicked open the door and took me to jail.    Jail was uncomfortable.    I had no furniture in my apartment and really had none when I got locked up.    When I was married 3 times before and got divorced, I felt the discomfort.    In each and every one of those situations, I used the discomfort of discomfort to make new way.    I worked harder.    Worked longer than everyone else.    And guess what?   I won.     Last weekend, my 2nd oldest and I mowed 10 acres.    Sure, I can afford to hire soemone, but Im teaching my kids about life and how it woks by staying in the discomfort zone.    It's the only way growth happens.    I still got to the gym and work my body daily.    I still do yardwork.    I do chores around the house.    I work later and longer at work.    Why?    In my experience, discomfort keeps me sharp and continuously evolving.    Figure out what you want.    It's waiting for you in the discomfort zone.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

If you have been paying attention in this life, there are many people who are full of shit.   The greatest masters have figured it out, too.   Back in the 60s and 70s, they figured out that if you slow down the sound of a song, you can program people.   It's a real thing........look it up.   We've seen politicians do it......   "I did not have sexual relations with that woman...." (You did the voice, didn't you?)   My favorite is from Pastor Joe O out of Houston......"My daddy left this big ole church to all of us.....he was such a generous man..."   It happens with sales people, digital marketers, and influencers.   They're flashing their wares and using their voices to do it.   Remember this as you're passively listening to people speak or sing.   What goes in, comes out......   The question is, what are they putting in?   You'll know if it's good by what's coming out of you.   Are you moved to do great things and take action?   Are you simply getting that dopamine hit from buying something?   Stuck in a rut of negativity and can't get out?   It may be influenced by what you're listening to.....   Tread carefully, and treat your mind like a vault.......only let things in that you can bank on.   Everything else is just the tone of bullshit.     About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

One of the biggest myths about most people is they think they know themselves.    When I say, "know," I mean TRULY know themselves.    We're all guilty of it.     While I'm not a fan of therapists, they would even tell you that you don't know the true YOU.    Out here on this planet, we wear masks.     We conceal our fears, doubts, and create this imaginative "enemy" or competition in our heads.     It's the biggest waste of time and we're all guilty of it.    If you want to compete against anyone, compete against yourself.    Compete against the person you were yesterday.    How are you showing up today?     Are you better or worse?    Were you a good spouse?   A great friend, parent, employee/business owner?    Did you show up as the truest version of yourself or did you put on a mask and hide yourself from the world?   The best thing you can do to compete in this world is to unravel the person that is truly you.    Compete with that person.    At the core, who you truly are is better than who you are showing the world.    Be you.    And you'll have a life most people won't believe.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Once you tell yourself the nearly impossible is possible and you do the work to make it happen, you stop focusing on what's possible.    So, you might turn to certain things that show you figured out the impossible.    For me, I didn't really have the best role models growing up, but I became one of those people.     I bought McLaren's and Lambos.  I've had damn near every kind you can imagine.    Flew everywhere on private jets.    And what I realized was that isn't the real me.     Proof came when the last McLaren (720) I owned didn't get driven but maybe 3 times the last 6 months I owned it, I knew I didn't need it.    It did not show proof of my success.    My kids starting asking me more about going to the Ranch and that's when I leaned in and saw the proof of what I needed to see.    I've been pouring into that more than anything........   My proof of success is in spending time with my kids......   And that's a huge success.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

One of the reasons why I got the name the Hardcore Closer was because of my ability to put deals together others cannot see.    This line of thinking and process has led me to owning multiple properties, commercial buildings, companies and much more.   If you think you have to pay full price for anything up front, lean in and listen to this episode.    I'll show you how I was able to acquire 800 acres, get one year of my note paid, and cut 50% off the principle.    It was easier than you think.      About the THC Podcast  Nothing is off-limits in these weekly episodes of the Hardcore Closer Podcast with Ryan Stewman.  Politics, Finance, Religion, Tin-foil hat theories, and interdimensional space aliens.  Ryan Stewman takes a very factual approach to simplifying the most complex things we are experiencing in real time in this timeline.  Leave your feelings at the door and buckle up for a fresh perspective with no fluff, and just the hardcore stuff that reality is made of.

You have to be careful who you let represent your organization.    I didn't learn this lesson soon enough.     I'm not talking about someone who got fired from your team and started talking shit online about the company and you.    They'll do that, but think about things this way:    You hire a sales person who is absolutely manipulative.    Guess what?    When they train your new sales people, they'll train them to be the same.    You have to rank people based on what they are.    Are they a 5 or a 7?     Maybe they're a 10.    Who you put in leadership positions will be the representatives of your organization.    Whomever you put in that place, there's a trickle down effect.    Go for 10s.     The way you find 10s is to establish metrics and KPIs that represent excellence.    Hire those people and let them do their work.    Make sure they represent the core values and mission of your company above and beyond your expectations.    And watch your company thrive on autopilot.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I lost my shit the other day on my 13-year-old son.    We were fishing and I told him to grab a tool from the toolbox.    A fish had a hook stuck in his gills.    I don't like killing fish.    I love catch and release.    30 minutes before, he was looking for it and never put it back.    I laid into him and tore him a new asshole.    An hour after he was done being mad at me, we had a talk about "Man Law."   If I give you a knife closed, hand it back to me closed.    Same with any other item.    If you spend the night at someone's house, make sure everything was as you found it.    Same applies for the toilet seat.    When we go camping, people leave their trash.    Not our family.  We pick up every little piece of trash and paper.    The law of man is to leave things as they were or better.    Give it back as you found it, or put in back in the place you found it, but no matter what, leave it better than you found it.    This applies to everything in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

I've got many rules in life and only a couple in business.    Number 1: Don't do business with family.  Number 2: Don't do business with friends.    Don't work with them.    Don't do them a favor.    Don't try to help them out.    Sure, give them a discount, but make sure before you make a committment to your family or friends, it doesn't end up coming to bite you in your ass.    The reason people lose friends when doing business is the emotional connection they have to money.    The emotional connection to the entitlement and lack of gratitude when hard decisions have to be made.    I've done business with a lot of people who were ONCE friends.    If you want friends, or family, don't do business with them.    Lean in, Listen, and learn.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
