Here's the problem with Social media........   A post on social media doesn't change shit for kids. Signing a document that cites you want to protect the kids is not enough.    The world needs more examples for children.    How to behave.    How to communicate.    How to act at other people's homes.    How to work hard and be a good steward of their resources.    How to work well with others.    Teach them how to be honest and have integrity.    They don't need to idolize and look up to sports superstars, pop stars, rappers, or materialistic IG monsters.    You can be the example.    When my kids friends come to stay over, I lay out the rules of my house and tell them if they follow their rules, they're allowed to come back again.  Violate one of these rules or core values, and they won't be back.    If you want your kids to walk differently in this world, look at the things you're doing that they're emulating.    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.

"STEWMAN!!!!  If you had to do it all over again, what would you do?"   I get that question A LOT.    I was in that situation many times.    One where I was not a millionaire, became one, and then I was not.    I lost contacts, connections, no money, no job.    At one point, I had 35 homes in my name and walked out of prison with $25 to my name.    I remember those days.    First, I needed to motivate myself.    In prison, everyone around me was a small thinker.    I had to reset my thermostat and get on a visionboard.    I needed something to focus on.    What kind of car did I want to drive?  The house I wanted to live in? The job I wanted to have.    Next, I found me a commission-only job that paid me good money.     Within 6 months, I had everything I put on my visionboard.    I wasn't drinking, partying with friends, sexing...........nothing........   I hit my goal.    Stacked my cash and made the leaderboard my bitch.    I took the action to make my focal point my reality.    Get to work motherfucker!  That's the only thing that solves problems.    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.

In my drug dealing days, I couldn't simply advertise what I was offering publicly, so I had to use guerilla tactics to market.     Building relationships.    Word of mouth.    Friend of a friend.     You know the routine.    But if I wanted to grow any type of business, I had to get good at getting the word out assuming I had no budget and no way of reaching the masses easily.    That's not the case anymore.     If you're running a legit business, pull up a chair and I'm going to give you some transformative skills you can use to deploy one of the best marketing campaigns using digital media and the principles of good old-fashioned street marketing.    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.

Back in the "olden days," people shook hands when they made agreements.  They called them "handshake agreements."     Your word was your bond. Communities were so small that if you didn't honor your agreement, your name would become muddied and you'd be deemed unreliable and untrustworthy.     Keeping your word was tied to your ability to secure goods, land, loans, and pretty much anything of value.    When I was a street hustler, you couldn't exactly make offers and have contracts written up.    It was pretty much understood that if you didn't deliver the goods, it was a good old fashioned ass whippin' that would be delivered to you.  People wouldn't do business with you and your supply would dry up.  Your street cred was at risk.    Fast-forward to going legit in business.  I learned the hard way you couldn't just take someone's word for it.     If someone wanted to do business with me, I had them text or email the terms of what they would be doing for my company be it marketing, sales, or backend fulfillment and I would craft a document and send it for e-signatures.     I had to do this because here's what I learned...........you give people a chance to fuck you over, 9 out of 10 times they do it because of ignorance, laziness, or they're down right grifters.    Take it from me........get everything in writing.    We're only as good as the agreements we make, but even better when we keep them.   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.

An an entrepreneur, we love hearing people say, "man, you're a hustler."    One day, we're chasing shiny objects.     Credit repair.    Mortgages.    MLM opportunities.    But at the core of the hustle is not about chasing shiny objects......   It's about chasing something that has no physical body, cannot be contained and cannot be controlled.    What is it?    Freedom.    It's that feeling where you can choose to do something or not.    Having the ability to take a vacation without having to be in the office if you choose.    Making cool shit happen for people that bring you the most value in your life......friends, family, clients, employees, contractors, and your favorite charities.    As you're working and building your business, make sure you are clear about the amount of hustling you're doing.    Hustling can wear you out and burn you out if you're not careful.     Be intentional about your hustle.     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 used to be a guy who would get angered by the simplest things.    A lot of it had to do with fear.    Fear of abandonment.    Fear of abuse.    Fear of rejection.   Fear of loss love.    Fear of losing money.    As a result, anytime something came up, I got angry, especially when things weren't going my way.    So, I had to step back, and take a different approach in getting in touch with why I was afraid.    The sooner I did this, the easier it was for me to break down and decode the source of my anger.    This kept me from ruining relationships, opportunities, and slowing down my business.    Source the reason you're afraid, sit with it, and get it cleared out.    None of this belongs in your life where you're going.    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.

For years, I asked God for wisdom, responsibility, integrity........   I prayed for years, 10 to be exact.    I would go through things, get my ass beat by life, challenged at every turn, building businesses, losing money, and getting ground up in the wood chipper of life.    I remember one time I had to stroke a check for $750K due to an investment that went bad.  I wanted integrity, and I returned the money lost and took one on top of it.    Patience requires you to wait.  If you want patience, God is going to make you wait.    Wisdom.    I had to go through all of these things to get the experience to learn the lessons necessary to have the wisdom I was wanting.    Everything is a test and tests are not passed until you get the lessons necessary to get more of what you want.    Stay the course.   Enjoy the journey.    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.

When I was a kid, my introduction to marriage was not great.    My mom and dad split early, a stepdad got introduced and my overall introduction to love and marriage was not what I thought it should be.    My parents beat my ass if I made mistakes.    I never had unconditional love.    In 2014, I was going through a phase in life, and all of my marraiges ended based on conditions.    Same for work.........I love you when you're making sales, but not when you're not doing your job.    My wife Amy taught me, no matter what, there were no conditions in this love.    There were no conditions that would break this love as long as she is her and I am me.    We have children together.    My kids come and I simply love my children because they exist.    When I started seeing this through my kids, I knew my wife loved me the way I love my kids.    I was able to become vulnerable and let my guard down with my wife.    My marriage has been nothing short of amazing.    The last 4 years of me not testing the conditions of this love have made this a 10X marriage.    I highly recommend.    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 been married 4 times, and divorced 3.    Each time, I never thought I would find love again.    The kind of love that is easy, peaceful, and supportive.    As I was entering into my relationship with Amy, I had already created an 8-page document detailing exactly who she is.    I know it sounds crazy, and a bit woo-woo, but I got tired of being in failed relationships.     Most of them were because I was involved.    All jokes aside, when Amy and I got married, we agreed to enter into a submitted marriage.    No, it's not being a cuck.......it's more about finding the right flow and lanes we can each exist in.    What is a submitted marriage?    It's where two people decide where they are going to solve any disagreements by going to the default of finding resolution.    In my marriage, if we have any disagreements around kids, Amy always has the last word.    At work, I'm the bread winner, but she has to default to what I want as it pertains to work.    It's that simple.    Find your lanes. Establish them.    Take the arguments out of making your way through disagreements that blow up most marriages.      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.

Most of my life I was not a happy person.   You couldn't tell on the surface, but deep down, I had fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs that held me back.    As I grew in success, I still didn't feel like I was successful.    So, I started buying material things: cars, shoes, clothes, houses........but none of these things solved my confidence issues.    I was still the same motherfucker on the inside.    No matter what it looked like on the surface, I still lived with Ryan, the wounded Ryan.    Since that time, I went on a healing journey.    You can't fill a void inside of you with anything or anyone in this world.    Pour into yourself and accept yourself.    The moment you do this, you'll finally be in alignment with who you truly are.    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 remember going to this meet up at this guy's house back in the day.    There were NFL players, actors, and D-list celebrities.    We were awaiting the arrival of a special guest and when he arrived, he got out of his car wearing a crisp white shirt, and navy blue suit.     His wife, attractive and donning a nice dress. Classy, elegant, and poised.    The main event of the evening was listening to him pitch us on this new and upcoming investment he promised would make us all very rich.    He was well-spoken, and very articulate, but he was missing something.........authentic communication.    Authentic communication is very simple, but here are the facts:    It's based on truth, clean intent, and grounded presence.   Truth without presence is harsh Presence without truth is hollow Truth without intent is reckless   Why is this important?     This helps you in leadership, sales, mediation, and personal relationships.    Authentic communication will allow you to connect better with your audience, deliver clearer messages with more intent, and keep yourself out of hot water with the authorities.    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.
