And we were driving past this Catholic private school. It's kind of on our way to the kids' school. And there was this crosswalk. And this guy we know, he was riding his golf cart across the street from his subdivision, dropping off his kids at this Catholic school. And there was like a little cart path. And so he was able to take his golf cart.

And here I am in like my minivan with all of our kids, right? And my kids are like, Mom, don't hit him with the van. I was like, what would make you think I would hit this man on this golf cart with our car? And then I realized I'm like a pretty aggressive driver. And our kids know like buckle up because like I don't want to be stuck behind slow drivers. I don't want to be caught in something.

And I think it's interesting when you really frame status, you know, not as a prize to be won, but as this thief that's going to rob, you know, the depth of who you are. I mean, I think for the right people who are listening to this, it's going to cause a rise in you. And that was your talk. That was your talk at the TEDx. It was a challenge talk.

In fact, when I go back and listen to it again, and if someone is on this podcast listening right now and has not listened to it, you might as well just stop this interview now and go jump over and listen to Ryan's talk. It's on YouTube. It's amazing because it's going to challenge you at your core. And what it's going to do is it's going to, you're either going to, you're going to pause it.

Because you can't belly up to the bar and you can't take the talk and you're going to say, you know what, I need to stick in the comfort places of life. And, you know, with that, we wish you the best. But if this hangs with you, you're going to realize that this is going to create a fear in me because I have to let go of the expectations of others.

I have to allow the drive of who I am, you know, encapsulated in this kind of fear. fear of, because now I'm stepping into my own path, I'm stepping into my own definitions, I will not be held constraint any longer by this, is it's going to actually cause some fear in me, but it's going to turn me into a place of action.

And I think when you and I talked more about this, we realized, you know what, there are talks that are informational, there are talks that are passionate, there are talks that are going to create, you know, change, you know, across society or in places of people's worldview and things of that nature. And that's what, that's what talks and communication is for.

And Ryan, I love your style as a communicator because you are gritty, you are raw, you are vulnerable, and you challenge people. And at the end of the day, it's gonna take two to tango. And I know that people like myself who don't wanna be held down by anything in life are gonna wake up and realize, you know what, but I am.

But I am being held back by some status because at night I've got the doom's scroll going on or I've got, you know, I'm in a mastermind and I'm, you know, subconsciously sizing myself up with others or I'm looking at, you know, these deliverables and the scale size of my business. And I'm realizing in my industry, you know, there's a different measure of success. And at the end of the day.

it's all a trap because we're not letting ourselves feel the fear, which is really the authenticity of defining our way. And I'll tell you that challenge you brought out is going to wake people up to realize they have to find their way.
