About this episode
Join Ryan Leak in this episode as he tackles the critical difference between those who "crush it" and those who merely "wish they would've." It all comes down to being ready —not just thinking about it, but doing the deep, consistent work long before opportunity knocks. Ryan challenges the common "if I had..." fantasy, arguing that true growth happens in the quiet moments of preparation, not when circumstances magically change. He shares powerful insights from Olympian Chaunté Lowe, whose record-breaking public performance was merely the culmination of countless private victories. This is the essence of "private discipline meets public opportunity" : a powerful reminder that you don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your preparation. This episode is a practical call to action, urging you to make deposits into your "future opportunity account." Learn why having your "stuff" ready, practicing your pitch, and refining your craft now are non-negotiable. Ryan pushes listeners to stop wishing and start doing, emphasizing that the best version of you isn't surprised by success—they've been practicing for it in the dark. Discover how to ensure that when your big break arrives, it finds you ready, not regretting.
