The Triple C Project

Ryan Spencewww.iamryanspence.com

Are you sick of feeling like a stressed-out cog in a corporate wheel?

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the mental quicksand of the corporate grind?

Are you over simply surviving each day and only living for the weekend?

What if you could live the life you want, not the life you think you should want?

What if you approached every day with intention instead of mindlessly going through the motions?

What if you woke up feeling alive, living your life in thrival mode rather than survival mode? 

How would your life be different? How would it change for the better?

In this podcast, life coach, yoga teacher and author Ryan Spence (aka #thebiglawdropout) shows how you can do all these things and more! 

Ryan's mission is to help you gain clarity, boost confidence and build courage so you can live life lit!🔥 

He does this by sharing stories and actionable tips and tools based on his experience of leaving an 11-year career in BigLaw to embark on a mission to help high-achieving professionals like you move from survival mode to thrival mode so you can break free of the same limiting beliefs and lethargy that kept him stuck for over 5 years.

Whether you're a BigLaw lawyer, corporate professional, or simply someone feeling stuck in a rut you need to get out of, this podcast will not only inspire you to take action to get from where you are to where you want to be, but give you the tools and strategies to sustainably do so.

Raw, unfiltered, with a smattering of F-bombs, Ryan's relatable hosting style has been likened to a chat with a friend at a bar. 

So, get yourself a drink, grab a seat, and join the conversation.

What's More Important: Feeling Safe or Feeling Alive?

What if the pursuit of safety is the very thing keeping you from truly living? Inspired by a thought-provoking Christmas dinner conversation, I invite you to join me in questioning the conventional wisdom that equates corporate "success" with safety. Reflecting on a conversation with one of my early coaching clients and my own experience in BigLaw, I share how a seemingly secure career can mask a deeper dissatisfaction and how no job is immune to change. Together, we'll explore the alluring illu...

Reflect & Refocus: Where do you want to be this time next year and what do you need to do to get there?

If You Want to Go Slow(er), Go Alone; If You Want to Go Fast(er), Hire a Coach

This week, I stepped foot in a gym for the first time in 4 years. And even though I could probably have watched a few YouTube videos and figured it out alone, I hired a coach. Why?

Listen in as I share: how each coach I've hired has helped me differently; why I hired a coach to build my strength; and why booking a strategy call before the en...
