Unlocking Greatness with Ryan James Miller

It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Tom Avery. Tom has been married to his wife and best friend for nearly thirty years and through life has learned the importance of a strong partnership and close relationships.  Together we discuss marriage, parenting daughters, and opening up to others about life’s struggles, as well as the high value of morals and convictions.

Men, this is a conversation you need to hear. In this episode, we talk about how John Troutman completely burned out after 20 years of ministry because he wasn’t being authentic to what was going on inside.  In this episode, we talk about how to know when you need to take a break and also how to listen to those around you who are telling you something may be off. How do you know when too much is on your plate? How do you know when you are under too much pressure? How do you surround yourself with people who will help you become healthy?  We dive into all of those questions and more with John Troutman today on Authentic Conversations.   Burned out pastorHusband and father to four kidsHow would you define a manTaking ownership of your life, your relationships, your job to everyone else around youI didn’t take ownership of my emotions20 years as a pastor and then to burnoutWhere were the guys around you and what were they saying when you were not okayTeaser 18:59-19:16 Direct links to the podcast: Spotify – http://bit.ly/spotify-authentic Apple – http://bit.ly/apple-authentic YouTube – https://bit.ly/youtube-authentic Connect with John: LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/johntroutmaneapsolutions/ Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/rjmsalespro/ Twitter – https://twitter.com/rjmsalespro Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/The post Take Ownership Over Your Life and Emotions with John Troutman first appeared on Ryan James Miller.

I was absolutely thrilled to talk this week with Steve Watson, founder of Trendbreakers about raising children and masculinity.  Steve has raised several boys and in this conversation, we dive into how to teach your children love and respect and some of the things Steve is doing to help his boys become men. We discussed how Steve has now been married for 19 years and has 7 kids and what challenges they have faced along the way.  Direct links to podcast: Spotify – http://bit.ly/spotify-authentic Apple – http://bit.ly/apple-authentic YouTube – Authentic Conversations Channel Connect with Steve: LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-watson-cpa/ Trendbreakers – https://www.trendbreakers.com Steve’s podcast – https://www.trendbreakers.com/podcasts/ Connect with me: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/rjmsalespro/ Twitter – https://twitter.com/rjmsalespro Web – https://ryanjamesmiller.com/The post How To Raise Boys To Be Men with Steve Watson first appeared on Ryan James Miller.

Julie Foucher is a multi-time Crossfit Games competitor and podium finisher, a doctor, and the Host of the Pursuing Health Podcast. But I think that what stands out most about Julie is her character. It’s not just something people like me observed. It’s something you hear so many of her peers confirm over and over again. So when I read a post (linked below) where she shared that she wasn’t truly living as she felt she was created to, my intrigue was captured. During our conversation, I had the opportunity to hear first hand about her iconic 2015 CrossFit Regionals injury and continued performance (linked below), we discussed the most recent season of her life that caused her to examine who she believed herself to be and how she was living that out, very practical tools to evaluate your life and grow into the person God created you to be. I cannot tell you how happy I was to have this conversation with Julie. She will always be that iconic CrossFit competitor, but more importantly to me, she will continue to be an example of living a life of authenticity…even when it hurts.

John Reed, CEO and Co-Founder of Bosscat Kitchen and Libations and Ten Restaurant is an absolute bada$$. John’s social media plea for his employees early in the pandemic caught my eye, but it was his relentless pursuit of authenticity and excellence that drove me to hunt him down and convince him to chat with me. Our discussion dug into leadership, sales and serving customers, manhood, loving your neighbor, and so much more. Check out my trip down to Bosscat’s newest location in Orange for an amazing conversation, a fantastic lunch, and one of the best bourbon drinks out there.

I was fortunate to be invited back on the Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast with Paul Edwards. Paul is a great friend and a content contributor to a lot of what you see me sharing on social media. In this episode, he and I discussed recent transitions and changes I have been making in business and life. As that’s been happening, it’s helped me to deliver more impactful results to each client I work with. Beyond that, we dove into: The clear signs that the “fake it till you make it” mode of operation is no longer viable The silver lining of being pushed out of your comfort zone The biggest pain points my client’s experience, and how I guide people through them The most rewarding things that come from being “ruthless about real” Check it out on your favorite podcast platform and let me know what you think!

Peak performance is far less about everyone meeting a single bar and far more about individuals figuring out how to perform at their best…and then doing it. One of the greatest skills high performing individuals possess is the ability to proactively avoid distractions. Which means those that don’t avoid distractions, don’t achieve peak performance. Underperformers lack the desire, or (in most cases) the will, to do what is necessary to turn off the noise of the world. If you fall victim to distractions which are hindering your ability to perform at your peak, this episode provides a few simple steps to have you fighting back.

Kelli Maxwell is the Whiskey Coffee brewing CEO, a Podcast Host, and Content Creator. A mutual friend happened to tag me in one of Kelli’s posts talking about whiskey so I had to chime in :). Based on my friend’s recommendation and Kelli’s witty content, I knew I had to have her on the podcast. In this episode, Kelli and I dug into her journey from princess to marketing master while along the way brewing whiskey-infused coffee and crushing the podcasting world. Check it out and I am sure you will learn, grow, and be encouraged.

Alexandra Galviz is the OG of Authenticity, inspiring and educating people through corporate keynotes and workshops, enormous LinkedIn influence and coaching, and more. She is the co-creator of LinkedIn Live as well as a LinkedIn Learning Author. I was drawn to Alex when we co-presented at a LinkedIn event in LA back in 2018. Her vulnerability, kindness, and immense wisdom was so inspiring to me and she quickly became someone I respected so much. This conversation dug deep into what it means to be authentic, living for freedom, and how chasing money, power, and status causes depression, broken relationships, and so much hurt.  Being on separate continents, we experienced a few technical difficulties but bear with us because the net result of this conversation will leave you with so much opportunity to grow personally.

Some people think that doing the right things boils down to willpower. “Force yourself to take on good habits and disciplines and you will.” What a load of garbage! Frankly, we need something a lot stronger than willpower. We need desire, the deep burning one that connects who we are to what we want most in life. But desire alone isn’t going to be helpful if your current “desire setting” is to continue chasing happiness in your bad habits. You won’t want to replace them unless you get a taste of something far better. In this episode, I provide a few simple ways to eliminate bad habits and adopt good ones by connecting who you are to what you want.
