Send us a text This episode starts with a simple truth: the holidays hit everyone differently. What unfolded during a long training run on the Ravenel Bridge turned a routine “how’s it going?” into something heavier—something that demanded presence, not performance. When the night later connected to a reported suicidal person, it became clear that endurance didn’t matter nearly as much as paying attention. You may not control the outcome, but one real question, asked with care, can change the...
Send us a text What if winning had nothing to do with scoreboards and everything to do with how you love people today? Edwin Martin reframes success from outcomes to obedience, showing how one intentional conversation or courageous yes can create more impact than any trophy. He unpacks how fear of the unknown limits purpose, and why choosing what sets your soul on fire—every single morning—builds a life of momentum and meaning. Listeners walk away with practical ways to love people well, anch...
Send us a text A brutal, beautiful truth sparked Edwin’s transformation: a “short” run that broke him open and led to a promise to never quit on himself again.

We explore the link between adversity and spiritual growth, and how to build a real relationship with "The Big Man Above." Edwin is also joining me as we run across the entire state of South C...

Send us a text In this episode, Ryan reframes success through the lens of awareness, alignment, and steady effort. Drawing on conversations with high performers and adventurers like Damian Browne—who rowed solo from New York City to Ireland with no prior rowing experience—you’ll hear how the real victory lies in self-realization and inner peace, not outcomes or applause. Damian’s story reveals a sharper, more useful definition of success: one measured by honesty, courage, and connection. Each...
Send us a text What happens when the ocean tries to break you? Within hours of launching his solo Atlantic row, Damian Browne—former professional rugby player turned world-record-holding adventurer—was seasick, cramping, and drifting backward. Then he caught his thoughts and asked three simple questions: What are you here to do? How do you do it? Then do it. That mental switch became the blueprint that carried him thousands of miles across the Atlantic, completely alone and without a function...

Send us a text What if the real secret to extraordinary success isn’t in grand gestures or viral moments—but in embracing what most people consider boring? In this episode, I break down how the best in the world use routine and repetition to their advantage. Mark Zuckerberg wears the same gray t-shirt every day. Steve Jobs stuck to his black turtleneck. Kobe Bryant spent hours shooting the same free throws. Tiger Woods drilled three-foot putts over and over again. These habits weren’t random—...

Nick’s journey from a self-described “jock” who avoided books to a thriving entrepreneur built on reading is both inspiring and practical. What sets Nick apart is his systematic approach to reading for results: Ho...

The world’s best innovators—from Booking.com to Jeff Bezos to Michael Jordan—have shown that failure isn’t something to avoid, it’s the very foundation of success. In this episode, I unpack powerful stories that reveal why doubling your rate of “unsuccessful attempts” might be the most important move you make toward growth.

Send us a text On December 4th, I’ll run over 200 miles across South Carolina to raise a goal of at least $20,000 for families battling cancer through Breaking Ribbons, an initiative born from deep personal loss and a desire to do hard things for those going through even harder things. This challenge isn’t about running—it's about choosing voluntary suffering to serve those who don’t have that choice. Tune in, share the mission, and ask yourself: what hard thing is calling you? 3 Key Takeaway...
Send us a text What does it really mean to win? Lately, I’ve been sitting with this question—and the more I observe high performers, the more I notice a common thread: the most successful people aren’t doing everything. They’re obsessed with one thing. This episode was inspired by my time at the Aspire Tour, where leaders like Ed Mylett, David Goggins, and Jesse Itzler laid out their blueprints for success. What stood out? Simplicity. Focus. Depth. Whether it’s Bezos building everything arou...
