In this episode, I detail the code that I’ve been living by which has helped me emerge from this hole I was buried in. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me at ryan@gsdmediagroup.com.

A recent trip to Mexico created some serious issues. Surprisingly it’s not what you might think. The problems arose at my resort where I discovered the food was less than stellar. As I looked around, I realized the problem was that I don’t eat like an asshole. Listen as I talk about how we can “not eat like an asshole” in other areas of life. Questions or comments?

Our past doesn’t define who we are today, it only defines who we were. Through exercising vulnerability, we have the opportunity to release ourselves from the old and make way for something new. However, this vulnerability can potentially open the door for others to use your mistakes against you. Listen how I recently combatted a situation when someone tried to use my vulnerability against me. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me at ryan@gsdmediagroup.com. I’d love to hear from you.

Listen to find out how you can build the same confidence in your choices. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me at ryan@gsdmediagroup.com. I’d love to hear from you.

Where in your life are you not being a man or woman of your word? Too many times in my life I allowed my word to go up for sale to the highest bidder. My word meant nothing at the end of the day. Ultimately, I realized that selling myself short was not honoring a commitment to the most important person: myself. Listen as I discuss a recent situation where my word wasn’t up for sale.
