176 - Ryan Phillips: The King of Weed

He was crowned the King of Weed. At his peak, Ryan was moving hundreds of pounds of BC bud across the border, living a life of fast cash, $150,000 a month spending habits, and endless chaos.

But behind the flashy lifestyle was pain, trauma, and a downward spiral fueled by drugs, ego, and false identity.

Ryan opens up about:

• His rise in the BC bud boom of the 90s and 2000s
• The insane spending, hiding cash in safes, and living fast
• How hockey culture, hazing, and injury fed his addictions
• Prison, close calls with organized crime, and walking away alive
• His battles with benzo addiction and how he finally broke free
• Meeting Bob Proctor, embracing Think and Grow Rich, and the power of manifestation
• His mission now: men’s mental health, advocacy, and Bridging Cultures.
