In this episode, Ryan Berman shares his inspirational journey of self-discovery through writing a book and pursuing courageous ideas in business.

“Like when you first tiptoe into that world, you have your own idea of what, like a powerful entrepreneur is gonna be like until you know, something about the word COURAGE resonates with them, and he comes up and has lunch with me. And so, like you, you realize that you're not that different. And I think that was big, you know, in my own mind, I was putting space between who I was and this pedestal of who other people are. And then when you actually peel back the onion, the only difference is that they've done at the level that you kind of want to do it at.”

As the founder and chief creative officer of Courageous, a creative consultancy, Berman has helped countless companies and leaders discover their true potential. But his journey to success wasn't always easy. As a creative in San Diego, he found himself struggling to balance his passion for creativity with the demands of leadership in management. Through his experiences, Berman emphasizes the importance of being courageous in the pursuit of your dreams and finding personal and professional alignment to achieve success.

During the episode, Berman also touches on the challenges of shedding old versions of oneself and embracing authenticity, even if it means going against popular opinion. He highlights the impact of being willing to outwork others for success and building a talented army through networking and finding the right people for the job. Overall, the episode serves as an inspiration for listeners who may be on the fence about pursuing their dreams or finding their true purpose, encouraging them to take action and embrace imperfection to achieve their goals.
