Are We There Yet?

In this episode, Ryan shares a behind-the-scenes story about his journey with John Maxwell’s team—a relationship that took over a decade to build. When Ryan once asked if he could be featured on John’s podcast, he was met with an honest and challenging response: “I don’t think we’re there yet.” Rather than taking offense, Ryan took it as fuel for growth.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the best thing someone can say to you is not yet. Because growth doesn’t come from empty compliments—it comes from honest feedback, faithful effort, and staying committed to the opportunities right in front of you. If you’ve ever been tempted to fast-forward your way to success, this one’s for you. To subscribe to encouraging text from Ryan, text PODCAST to 469-809-1201.
