  Jul 23, 202634 minS1

  58: The Hardest Things to Remove From Your Life Aren't the Bad Things

  Jun 16, 202619 minS1

  Episode Summary Sometimes the hardest things to remove from your life aren't bad things at all. In this honest and personal solo episode, Ryan opens up about one of the most difficult decisions he's made recently: walking away from coaching high school basketball after three seasons as varsity assistant — a role he genuinely loved, that gave him purpose outside business, and that had become a core part of his identity. Ryan breaks down what being spread too thin actually looked like in his life: two seven-figure businesses, three kids, a wife, a coaching role, content creation, travel, and a gym habit that quietly slipped. He talks about what's changed since stepping away — the lake trips in June that were never possible before, the pool games with his wife after the kids go to bed, the margin he didn't know he was missing. And he ends with seven questions worth sitting with honestly. Not everything that's good still belongs on your calendar.

  57: From Prison to $27M: Dave Carroll's Story Is Unlike Anything You'll Hear on This Show

  May 18, 202649 minS1

  Episode Summary What do you do when you get out of prison at 25 with no work history, no business experience, and a job at a window cleaning company you're terrible at? If you're Dave Carroll, you start your own company six months later and spend the next 16 years building one of the most interesting entrepreneurial stories in the home service space. Dave is the founder of Dope Marketing — a direct mail and data company that went from $2M to $27M in revenue in four years — and he still owns 100% of Lion Share Maintenance, the window cleaning company he started right out of a halfway house. Ryan sits down with Dave for a wide-ranging conversation covering his past, why he hasn't sold Lion Share despite not touching it in seven years, the science of direct mail targeting, the 52 Weeks of Dope strategy, and why the key to getting off the truck is understanding exactly where you contribute at a high level — and where you don't.
