The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show

About RyanRyan Hansen came from the Marine Corps to start his own CrossFit business. His interest in fitness progressed over the years to powerlifting and eventually ending up in CrossFit. He loves the team atmosphere and for him is something reminiscent of being in the Marines. Ryan has a need to help people, and from there it led his to want to own a Cross Fit box. He sees CrossFit as a way to truly help people in a way that will change their lives. He puts a lot of stress on his athletes supporting their bodies with whole food, because if the body is fueled properly, it shouldn't need a lot of the extra additives. He's also very intentional with the form and physical practices of his athletes.   Ryan's Favorite Quote:"Love your life or change it," John Norse, Attitude Nation   Ryan's Favorite Book:Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action   Links from Today's Show:Charles Poloquin on kettle bell training Cross Fit Warwick Ryan Hansen Cross Fit Games

Harry Campbell started the Rideshareguy.com started in 2014, he was a full time aerospace engineer and part-time Uber, Lyft and Sidecar driver.  He actually discovered rideshare as a passenger back in 2012 but it wasn’t until he moved from San Diego up to Orange County that he decided to give it a try as a driver. He started driving for Lyft and Uber in early 2014 because it sounded like a fun, flexible way to earn extra income.  Some people found it odd that he was driving in his spare time since he had a good career as an engineer but he had always been a huge fan of diversifying your income. It’s easy to get complacent working the same job day in and day out but when you’re working for someone else, you’re never really in control of your own destiny, no matter how safe you might feel.  And that’s what he liked so much about being a rideshare driver. You’ve probably heard the cliche radio ads that say “Be Your Own Boss” and “Set Your Own Hours” but the funny thing is that being a rideshare driver really is a lot like running your own mini-business.  And as any business owner can tell you, running a business is very rewarding but it’s also a lot of work and there are a ton of challenges that you will face. He quickly realized that there’s actually a lot more to driving than just getting people safely from Point A to Point B.  After his first weekend of driving, he sat down at his computer and started looking for blogs, resources or online communities of rideshare drivers.  He was shocked at the lack of what he found.  There was nothing other than a few Facebook groups that had a bunch of newbies like myself asking all the same questions! After a week or so of hopelessly searching for information, he decided to take matters into his own hands and The Rideshare Guy was born.  He knew that there were lots of drivers with the same questions he had and he figured that if he could provide an authoritative resource with good information, he would be able to help out a few of his fellow drivers.  But he had no idea just how many people needed help!   Harry's Favorite Quote:"Life is all about prioritization, if something is important, you'll make time for it."   Harry's Favorite Book:Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

Andrew O'Brien is the founder of the media company, Patefactus. He began his career as a public speaker in 2013. He had no clue about how to run a business or how to get on media. 3 short years later, he has become the most requested speaker in his field and has traveled all over the world speaking. He have made well over 6 figures, on his way to 7. This is all thanks to his media exposure. Without all of the media he received, he wouldn't be where he is today. Andrew has been featured on over 70 media stations around the world. Before being featured on so much media, he was only charging $2,000 per speaking engagement (that included travel and lodging in that fee.) Exactly one year later...  His fee increased to $5,000 plus travel and lodging.  The best part... he was not only charging more, but he was getting more clients.  Andrew did all of this without spending a dime on a PR firm or agency.  After so much media coverage, he started to learn more about the industry and came up with his own ways of getting more coverage.  Now, Mr. O'Brien doesn't have to reach out to media any longer on that side of business.  It has gotten to the point where high-scale media is contacting him instead.  This is what he teaches.  Andrew teach individuals how to get to the point that high scale media is chasing, instead of you chasing them.   Andrew's Favorite Quote:"You can either quote world changers, or be the world changer than people quote."   Andrew's Favorite Book:The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage   Links From Today's Show:www.patefactus.comhttp://www.andrewmobrien.net

Elliott Hulse is a name synonymous with success, and YouTube. He created content for almost 4 years, before really making it big on YouTube. Long before he was an internet personality, he was the owner of Strength Camp Gym. His only purpose in creating video content, was to promote and sell memberships to his gym. On a dare from a friend, Elliott turned ads on his YouTube channel, and created an income of $10,000 in his first month. From there, he pushed down the gas, and went from making a video when he felt like, to one everyday. Elliott structured his videos in question and answer format, and made it his mission to answer questions in the most creative way he could find; a true artist. More than being just a YouTube video creator, Elliott is a true student of philosophy; putting what he reads into action. He then forwards that information to his viewers, creating true inspiration in a metaphorical verse. Elliott is also the author of the Best-Seller, "The King," about helping others channel their inner king. Rather than just give more of the motivation for which he is famous, he wanted to give people a roadmap to really achieving their dreams.   Elliott's Favorite Quote: "Every action is measured by the sentiment which is precedes."    Elliott's Favorite Book: The Language of the Body King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine Iron John: A Book about Men   Links From Today's Show: www.elliotthulse.com

Hung Pham seemed to have it all, he graduated college in 2004, but a bad break up set him back. He thought this girl was the one, but after 2 years realized that things were not as he thought. To deal with the pain he turned to gambling, which turned into gambling addiction. Saturdays started at 8 AM  and ended at midnight, he gambled on everything, and it lasted over 8 years. The money was just one part of it, the toughest part of that dealing with himself, he was too proud, never needed help; he developed thoughts of suicide. He was in a thriving career in high tech, no one knew. Hung handled his problem but was in 50k worth of debt. It was too much to save his way out, and he had to get creative. Started online digital marketing, for dentists, took a lot courses online would sell services to implement learning how to do it, moved back home, paid off 50k in 3 years!
