What does it take to go from rock bottom to the top 1%? For Ryan Stewman, the answer lies in understanding the Force of Average, focusing daily on personal disciplines, and staying committed to the grind long after the hype fades.
Recently, Ryan sat down with David Price, founder of The Price Group, for an unfiltered conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, marriage, and mindset. Here are some of the most impactful lessons from that talk.
The Ranch, the Reset, and Real Mental Health
Ryan’s sprawling Texas ranch isn’t just a flex—it’s therapy. He explains how investing in a working ranch became the best decision for his mental clarity.
“It’s one of the most expensive bills I have, but the single best investment in my mental health.”
Getting off the grid, getting your hands dirty, and disconnecting from the noise is how Ryan stays grounded amidst the chaos of running multiple businesses.
The Truth About Work-from-Home Culture
Both Ryan and David agree: virtual call centers work.
Forget office leases and micromanagement. Remote teams offer flexibility, increase productivity, and let you hire from a global talent pool. If you’re trying to scale a sales team, a Zoom room might outperform any office building.
“I talk people out of starting call centers. It just doesn’t make sense anymore.”
Why Only 10% of Recruits Ever Produce
Ryan and David hit hard on one of the most frustrating aspects of building teams: most people simply don’t do the work.
Some close a deal and disappear for months. Others freeze at the thought of asking for the sale. But the real problem?
“They don’t respect their time. They don’t believe they deserve more.”
Both leaders agree that self-belief and habit creation are the missing ingredients for 90% of people who never reach their potential.
Big Sales Come From Big Belief
Whether it’s asking for $8,000 instead of $3,000 in a sales pitch, or investing in a $15M coffee farm, both men stress the same truth: you will never outperform your mindset.
“People are nervous to ask for $3,000. I ask for $8,000. Because why not?”
Enter the G-Code: A System to Beat the Force of Average
Ryan’s most profound contribution? The G-Code—a four-part daily system to beat the gravitational pull toward mediocrity:
- Gratitude: The precursor to abundance.
- Genetics: Health, fitness, and diet.
- Goals: Clear, measurable, and tracked.
- Group: Who you spend time with.
He even built a free tracker: dailygcode.com. With over 6,700 points logged, Ryan lives by it every day.
“Focus isn’t just seeing clearly. It’s acting on what you see in your mind until it becomes reality.”
Marriage, Balance, and Alpha Love
Ryan also opened up about his marriage, emphasizing intentionality: from date nights to a 10-page prenuptial agreement that mapped out how they’d handle life and love.
“Most people plan their divorce better than they plan their marriage. We did both.”
Building a Legacy That Lasts
From real estate to private lending, coaching to software, Ryan’s built businesses that thrive. But the most powerful legacy? Helping people beat the force of average and step into greatness.
“You’re not here to survive. You’re here to dominate. The algorithm of this world is built to keep you average. Focus is your way out.”
