- It feels right to share this with you all right now. I hope you'll continue coming back on your Road To $1M.
If this channel has given you some value in the past, would you let me know down in the comments?
Rooting for you :)
Ryan
I think you might get more customers by being more genuine. I met you at CapCon years ago and Pat Flynn's conference and you're a solid dude. I hope this video gets the most views on your channel. It's encouraged me and I'm sure many more to rethink the way we create content. Thanks Ryan.
Thanks Tom. Intellectually, I think you are probably right about getting more customers. The irony is, if you do *in order to get more customers*, then it is more fake then ever. Thank you for remembering our interaction at FlynnCon and for keeping tabs on my work!
@@RyanDanielMoran Agreed, there is a fine line between trying to be authentic for sales sake and just being you. Best of luck and I'm sure our paths will cross again.
This is authentic Ryan! You will attract the same energy you put out. And what you are attracting now are the people here for the long game, the ones who genuinely love what they do and give value to the world, instead of those who trying grab a quick bucks here and there. Always love the content you put out. Keep it up man!
I used to think that energy stuff was woo woo nonsense. Now I think it’s just logical and obvious. Thank you for being here.
And yes, we will STICK AROUND!
Your interview with Shannon Klingman was the best piece of content I've watched on your channel, and interestingly, it was also the one where YOU sounded the most excited - that's why I keep watching your stuff. More power to you
I felt this. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!! I really enjoyed this message and I also enjoyed your previous videos especially the interviews. 🙏🏼
Thanks man. Really cool seeing your name pop up here. We miss you round these parts.
For the record, I've never felt that you were disingenuous at any time. I think it's natural to sometimes be more hyped up, or higher energy, than at other times. But your content has always been useful, informative, and of value.
Thank you for that. That's really nice of you to say. I don't feel as though I've been disingenuous or misleading, just unconsciously "acting" on camera rather than just showing up. There is a place for that (and nothing wrong with it), but I want to do less of it moving forward.
Good for you. Congrats!
Ryan, your book and channel mean a lot to me. As I chase my goal and put the work in everyday, your book plays an important part of maintaining the belief and optimism that I can make it work and find product market fit.
Ryan, I'm so aligned with your vision from this vision. Hope some day we can meet in person, we have a lot in common!
Respect!
Thanks for being so brave and sharing this.
I recently took a total 180 with my channel for this very reason, and made a very similar video! I felt such a relief afterwards.
The audience appreciates authenticity. And it’s clear from this video that authenticity is going to be a huge asset for you.
Looking forward to seeing more of the real you!
Appreciate it Brenda. I think it’s part of the evolution of content - for a while, we do what we want, get alluded but the algorithm, and then hopefully find our way to creating what we wanted in the first place.
Have been a fan for a few years now, and I think this is my new favorite piece of content. Dig relaxed Ryan.
Thanks Kristen.
Thanks for sharing, Ryan. I like your authenticity. It encourages the rest of us to do/be the same.
That's what I'm going for. Thank you, Rochelle.
This is called integrity. If you have it as a deep core value, any diviation from it, creates disturbance. You align to your integrity and it naturally feels good. You are one of my biggest inspiration, Ryan. Thank you for talking about this.
I felt this. Thank you.
Now I want to see what the next several episodes look like.
Keep doing what you’re doing Ryan. Your content and the value you bring to the marketplace is 1/0 and I appreciate what you’ve done for me. I actually just went through your 5 days to 7 figures challenge!
Appreciate the kind words and the encouragement. I have no plans to stop doing what I’m doing - I just want to do all of it from a more relaxed, less frenetic place. You might have seen this building with some of the interviews I’ve done recently, and I hope that I’m letting it sink in now.
Dude, that's awesome. Thank you!
Thanks Garrett.
Always bringing value, even in the struggle. The honesty is refreshing. So does this mean religious and political talks and Wine with Wyan again? ;)
Tons of value, I just started the video so I will comment more after
But tons of value overall the past 1-2 years
Seems like youre overly judging yourself.
Nothing wrong with making semi-clickbait titles for more views
Nothing wrong with creating content to get customers, if the content is giving value then it’s a fair exchange.
I think you’ll always be swinging between authenticity vs going for attention. That’s fairly normal.
I think you’re fairly real. You do come off as businessy, but that’s your thing right?
Welcome to the content game baby! It’s a constant mental battle. You dont need to apologize for changing things up.
@@ryanrhodescooking I totally agree with this!!!
It definitely is a balance between the two, and I tend to overcorrect until I find the right feel for me. I don’t think of it as judging myself as much as I’ve simply realized that I don’t want to play that “game” anymore. Or… at the very least, I don’t want it to run the show. Appreciate your feedback!
@@RyanDanielMoran thanks for replying!
I feel this. Life is short. You already have enough money to be free so you would 100% be focused on being your true self.
That's a great purpose or vision for your business: "to work with entrepreneurs who are doing cool things." Thanks for sharing this behind the curtains video with us.
You bet, Jon. Thank you for watching and following along.
WOW Ryan! I applaud Your Honesty and Candor! Your Heart is certainly in the right place. Sharing what You love to do is a Gift to many. The outcome will always be HUGE when People realize that You are offering and sharing with their best interests in mind. I learned many Years ago from a Great Mentor and a Friend of mine, The late Great Zig Ziglar that: "You can have everything in Life that You want, If You will just help other people get what they want!" Oh how True! ~Jeff
Amen Jeff. Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Awesome Ryan. It’s all good! 🔥👍🍎
Ryan, Thanks so much for the honest and authentic video. I appreciate your self-awareness to constantly grow and UN-become what you are not, so that your most authentic and real self shines through.
I'm a work in progress like the rest of the world!
I love this! There must be something in the air because I just did something similar with my latest video. I would rather BE REAL and have a sincere message than do what the blueprint says “will work.” There’s very little energetic joy in that. Feels contrived. Kudos to you for going with the flow and sharing this!! More please. 🙏🏼☺️
I've noticed it, too (but that could be me projecting). My theory is that the clickbait/in your face marketing is so common now that it doesn't stand out. When "trying too hard" stops working, we are just left with being ourselves.
@@RyanDanielMoran, I think you're right. It's a combination of people wanting to relate to content makers and creators wanting to keep it real and avoid being a cliche. And you nailed it! I'm looking forward to seeing more.
As someone who is as you would say ‘to my core’ socialist, I started following Capitalism because you showed this version of yourself in your videos every now and again and that is what pulled me in. So I’m loving more laid back Ryan and am excited to see how you ‘unfold’ and shed the part of the persona that was wearing you down. The feeling I would get from your videos was that your bottom line was people, not money and I think that even more now…..the irony is, that approach to life is what will (usually) economically pay off in the long. You’ve even managed to get this ‘to my core ‘ socialist to think about capitalism in an entirely new and positive manner.
Well if this just isn’t the best comment of the year right here. I loved reading every word of this.
@@RyanDanielMoran aww, I'm glad they had a positive impact on you, they were true words as your character is what let me to buy your book, follow you on this platform and even sign up for the 1% (me, the socialist- lol). Also, your reply was a good birthday gift for me (as it was yesterday).
That was refreshing. Thanks Ryan.
Appreciate it, Tina.
Thanks for sharing Ryan. You do you brother.
Doin'. :) I'm excited for you - I love seeing your progress in your posts.
Your guidance and encouragement, on this channel, other mediums, and in person, has helped me step out beyond my comfort zone and build two brands in the past decade. It’s helping Julie and I do the same thing again right now, better than ever.
For me, the moments with you that have been most life-giving and perspective-shifting have been those where you are clearly and truly on fire, where it seems like any facade has fallen away. Where you seem “child-like” in your energy and enthusiasm. No veneer.
I want more of that for myself, and I definitely want that freedom for you as well.
Thank you, and give us more of YOU. You will find peace there.
Thank you Todd. I’m a fan of the Bonner family.
Ryan, be yourself. Authenticity is a rare commodity. Concentrate on being yourself rather than chasing someone’s pretend personalities. We as a company will call Sufijan .
The real ones/day ones are always here… even if we’re just lurking behind the scenes. Thank you for your honesty💯💯💯
"Authenticity is the currency of the future". That's a saying that got started in a circle of youtubers I'm subscribed to. Legacy media and Hollywood have turned people off to anything with a hint of scripted fakeness or performance. More and more audiences just want to watch real people saying real things.
Whenever I feel down and lonely I come back here and feel energized every single time.
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you.
I honor you for being vulnerable in this video and sharing your truths. It’s not something that many entrepreneurs do and I think the more of us that show up and create and share from our hearts, the more we empower others to do the same❤. What could change if we all stopped playing the algorithm game?
Thank you for always rooting for me! I'm rooting for you Ryan !
This is why I like you, Ryan. I feel that you are authentic and that you exist to first do no harm. I like that. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Thank you Caroline.
I actually really really like this approach. I wish everyone would follow this model. Just being real.
That's the idea. I'll do my best to go first. I'll make mistakes along the way but hopefully I can be an example for others to be more real.
Appreciate the vulnerability and openness. You continue to evolve and learn. This is all part of the journey. Recently I stopped following a bunch of content creators. Mostly because I only want to follow people who 1) Align with my core values 2) I can learn and grow from 3) Bring value 4) Are authentic. I also don't have the time. Since I place a high priority on happiness and my relationships, I am very selective on who I follow. In this space I follow 5 people. I continue following you because of the things I just mentioned.
I appreciate that very much, Paul. Thank you for keeping me on your shortlist.
@@RyanDanielMoran you're welcome, keep doing what you're doing, you're on the right path. 😊🙌
So happy for you… it was that character you talked about that kept me from consuming your content but the quality of the interviews is what kept me. Now, you have the winning formula and “I’m rooting for ya”. :)
Thanks for that feedback. The interviews are an easy way for me to connect with one person and turn down the facade; I also found that I could do that in an audio podcast too. Once the camera was on me and we started making content specifically for UA-cam, that’s where it started to feel forced. I definitely didn’t expect that, or intend for that, but that’s what happened in retrospect.
Ryan - please dont change anything. EVERY ONE of your videos has VERY valuable content and some of the best (if not the best) content on YT.
Appreciate this very much. Thank you :)
@RyanDanielMoran it’s great to hear you open up and be honest, it refreshing , it will help your people. I belong to the Daily Grind and it’s important to feel that your mentor cares about you and your success and that you’re not a number. Therefore, it’s important to know that you matter and that you’re not just a dollar figure in someone’s eyes.
Thanks Maria. I really do care. Thank you
Always love you keeping it real. "The reality is..." eventually you'll figure out the reality that freedom (and community and family and fatherhood and, and and...) is a lot bigger than capitalism.
Capitalism is just one tool for humans to create and serve with - but fundamentally conditional and transactional at its core (employees, customers, vendors).
Whatever we do and choose beyond business or for other than business reasons, is not because of capitalism. It's Ryan (or any of us), the human wanting good for yourself and others, choosing to move beyond the conditions. Sure, treating people as people rather than avatars is usually good for business, but deep down we know which reality is driving us.
I love your content because you're constantly grappling with the limits of your chosen vehicle. It gives me hope we'll get clarity around the limits of this little "i" infinite game we call business and actually get more involved in the capital "I" innovation we entrepreneurs like to believe we're the experts at.
Hopefully that moves well beyond B2B or B2C or SAAS or supplements or paid content, courses, meetups, and masterminds. It's a fascinating time to make (and lose) lots of money. It's a more fascinating time to bridge divisions while respecting choice and expanding freedom and opportunity beyond the monetary. You're a leader and I'm confident you'll keep figuring it out and keep growing in your ability to help and serve well beyond the limits of your chosen URL.
Thank you for what you do, what you share, and how you share it.
Thanks Ryan. Respect bro 🤜🤛
Thanks Quintin. Appreciate you being here and watching.
I’ve seen other UA-cam content creators saying the same thing. They want to go back to more authenticity instead of feeding the algorithm to get views. I truly believe you can achieve the same goals by being yourself. Yes you can happily deliver great content and achieve the desired results through authenticity :)
I think the time of hypey titles and clickbait thumbnails might be behind us. It's kind of like charging low prices - a few people can rush to the bottom, but only a few people can play that game.
I think your interviews have always been great, where youtube gets tricky is when you get drawn into click bait titles and topics with overly scripted/edited content. It's difficult to do it genuinely.
Exactly. I'm wanting to switch my focus to care less about the algo and more about the people watching... you know, like what I preach. :)
Another “deep reflection” video. Vomit. Bro, it’s not that hard. Everyone loved Freedom Fast Lane. You had a vision and a goal and you just went for it. No special effects. No constant self-loathing and introspection. It was just fun action and progress. No one wants “Wine with Ryan” or overproduced video edits with stupid sound effects and we really don’t want these whiney “I just can’t find my way in life” videos. 🤮🤮🤮
What in the world? People are allowed to change and grow. It's more remarkable to step into the unknown - which Ryan is trying to do.
Friend, you cannot be “LivingGospel” and tell another human being not to share in their personal growth. Introspection IS the gospel of Christ. And I’m grateful for Ryan for stepping up and showing us how it’s done 💪🏻
I actually totally get what you mean. It comes in waves - sometimes I notice that I’m forcing it or out of alignment with the vision, and I need to course correct. I often share those course corrections with the audience, but I’ve also learned not to use my content as my therapy. The only thing I disagree with is missing Wine With Wyan - I actually do miss those and they might return! By the way, I really appreciate you following and engaging long enough to know that reference :)
