What This Episode Covers

Every stuck man Ryan has talked to says some version of the same sentence: after this season. Ryan said it himself through his twenties, promising his wife and kids more of him once he finally got there. Later never came.

Ryan names the three sentences that keep successful men drifting:

• "It's just a season." Drift has no end date. A real season ends; busyness renews itself, and the people you love get your leftovers.
• "I can handle this myself." What got you here is what's keeping you here. The higher you climb on your own, the fewer people know the real you.
• "I'll go when I've got it together." You'd never tell a sick friend to get healthy before seeing the doctor. Waiting to be ready is just another way of performing.

Key Takeaways

• Count your seasons. Name the one thing you said you'd fix after this season, and how many seasons you've been saying it.
• Do you have one man who knows the real you? If you can name one on the fringe, text him today.
• Grace never asked you to show up finished. It asks you to show up.
• Stop asking "am I ready?" Decide you're willing, and be honest.

Scripture in this episode (ESV): Hebrews 3:13, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.
