Why Not You?

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your goals is the story you're telling yourself?

You'll learn: • how to stop letting your current circumstances define what's possible • why asking "Why not me?" can change everything • the difference between fear of failure and fear of success • and how to keep moving forward when the odds are stacked against you Ryan shares the mindset that helped him go from a kid who didn't make the varsity team until his senior year to an All-American at Yale, a World Series champion, and a Major League Baseball player who was called up and sent down 26 times without giving up. If you've ever wondered whether you're capable of more, felt discouraged by setbacks, or questioned whether your goal is really possible, this episode is for you. Because confidence doesn't come from knowing you'll succeed. It comes from believing you're willing to do what it takes.
