How I Found My Tribe Of Entrepreneurs | Ryan Daniel Moran

I'm far less interested these days in being widely known than I am in serving.

My crowd.

Usually when you come to an intensive, especially a one day coming after one thing, you're coming to hope get one problem solved or one thing jostled or one insight. So if you can summarize your what's next into.

One sentence, or if you can't do that, what is the problem that needs to be solved in order for you to be able to move towards what's next? I participate in the group just like another member. And so the thing that I put on there was clarity in next opportunities, which was really my way of saying I'm looking for the next opportunities to bring to this community and to bring to this group. I think I mentioned that.

Do I have problems because I'm worried or am I worried because I have problems? And I at least like that thought. I don't know if it's true. Doesn't matter. So what was next for me was just being excited and kind of the unfolding of everything. And what I've started to realize for myself is that the more excited, the happier and the more fun I am, the more opportunities and the faster things grow, not the other way around. And I'm curious if what you experience is valuable is the things that I'm. That I really enjoy or if they're the things that I think everyone finds valuable, that I'm just beating my head against the wall.

I like what you do with 1% where you have one month focused on one topic and you go deep into that specific topic. I think that's really good. Right now it's real estate. So something's very valuable to everybody as opposed to just glossing over it. You have multiple weeks of different people, different perspectives. You can really get a good understanding why it's important, why I should know this, what I need to know, and.

How do you consume it?

Mostly through podcast.

Through the podcast right now. Yeah.

I'll piggyback on that and say that I like your interviews because I just, I feel I like your solo stuff too. But the interviews just different perspectives and you have the ability to really bring.

Out a lot out of people that.

They didn't even know, teach to other people and just that actually it motivated me to start interviewing people for our show. So now I interview dry eye experts all across the nation. And what that's done is open up relationships with them, become wholesale accounts for us, and open up bigger opportunities for us.

I think we can be a little bit of a bad audience for you because we know you so well. So I will skip over your monologues.

And only go to your interviews.

I actually read everything in print because it helps with my copyright.

I actually love your readings. I'm all over those. When we talk about, from the standpoint of podcasting stuff, I just want the interviews. I'd be careful. I wouldn't pay attention to who's consuming more of your stuff, not some of your inner drive people. Unless enough of them could warn or warrant a good enough opinion about that. Meaning that would move the needle.

I would be surprised if the answers are different. I'm open to that. But also I'm. I'm far less interested these days in being widely known than I am in serving.

My crowd. Let me, Let me ask you all. We. We've talked only about content in the sense, what about these events, our large events, our products? What is actually most valuable to you?

For me, it's been this individually, just in.

This element has been huge for me.

But I think part of it is like the intentionality and the space that's created here is like the intentionality of going through and doing these things that.

We wouldn't necessarily do on your own.

And there's just something with the group aspect of having that camaraderie that's created the push, the drive, the normalcy that's created by being around other powerful entrepreneurs. I once heard one of our members say that after being in our community for a couple of years, they went from running a $1 million business to a 20 million dollar a year business. And I asked him why that was, and he said, well, this was the first group where I ever walked in and that wasn't a big deal. And as a result, he never had this. He didn't have this heaviness over numbers anymore. He was around somebody who was making $20 million and somebody was making a million dollars a year, and it really didn't have that much of a difference. But for him, it gave him permission to step into a higher playing field. And he did. And it was. It wasn't because of some strategy or system he learned. It just became normal to him. So would it be fair to say that.

All of you discovered and continue to follow what we do at capitalism because you related to.

The journey and you are here and you come to our big events because you are jiving with other people who are in the same place of that journey? Is that fair to say?

I think it's the community that keeps people. Okay, yeah, I told you last time. The 1% is probably 1 of the best Facebook groups I've ever seen on Facebook, just because it promotes a give mentality, which you guys create and people aren't there to take. And you see that all the time in almost every other group. That's tough. And then I'm a perfect testimonial to, I left the back room for a.

Year, and now I'm back.

There's a reason I'm back is because I communicate.

And what's interesting is, like, far and away, the thing that everyone at this level desires is clarity and connection. Am I on the right path? Am I doing the right things? And are there other people who are with me along the journey? And. And when you get to a certain point, it's no longer about the next system or the next even goal to set. It's really just clarifying the path more and more and more and getting better and better people around you to keep that momentum going.

You're really good at contacting and networking with others and getting in front of other people that other people can't or haven't made the effort to, and then distilling their wisdom to your audience.

Can I repackage that? Because I agree with that, except I think actually it's a level above that. I think you actually.

Have a.

Message rolling around in your head that you want to get out. And when you interview somebody and it's not packaged correctly, you'll repackage it back out.

You're actually really good at that.

You want.

You already decided you want to let somebody hear something. That's why you do monologues, because you have a general message you want to get out. And when you interview somebody, I'll watch you redo the question. And if the question doesn't answer what you want, you'll take it and read it back as if the way you needed somebody to hear it. So I don't even know if it's. So I. I don't disagree with what he said. I'm just saying you actually feel strongly that people need to hear a certain theme to a message. And I feel like whatever category you want to do that in, whether it's large group event, small, mastermind, none of that changes. You have a certain category, and when you don't hear it, you'll even do it here.

You'll shut down.

You're like, okay, okay, let's move on. Like, you're not hearing the message you want to hear because it's not coming out the way you want it to hear. So I, I think you should pay attention to that more. That's actually the thing you like about is when the message is working, give it more energy. When it's not, you're going to shut it down.

That's right.

You're going to read you the message.

Yep.

And I, I agree with 100% with what Jimmy's saying. That's how you interview. Like you pull out your core values. It's what Tim Ferriss does.

Right.

He's all about optimization and all this stuff. When he interviews, he's going to pull through those and sort and steer the conversation for that. Mike Diller does the same thing on his podcast. He does a really good job. Like, I'm understanding how that person runs their business because that's what he's interested in. You're the same way. And if you go back to our first conversation with a jit, there's about the values and that's what you're usually sorting for those values. Own, create, serve.

For some version of that.

And I think, like, so when. And I've told you this before, like, I met you for the first time at Freedom Fast Lane Live, the first one.

And.

But prior to that, I joined ASM3, I think.

And then.

And I was in Toronto at the time and people in there were meetups for Amazing Selling Machine in Toronto. And almost universally the people who were taking action were people who were members of the Toronto. And I think tying it back to kind of the knowledge and content, it's that simplification. You deliver the wisdom or the knowledge that drives people to action. And I think that's.

Why people come to you.

My superpower was in my ability to make things simple that allowed other people to move forward. And that's easy for me. And oftentimes the things that are our greatest gift to those around us are really easy and we tend to overlook them. So it was really good to hear the group give me that piece of feedback.

Is that what you want to be doing?

What's that?

Do you want to be like teaching?

So, so this is, this is the, the tension in my brain. I always thought that teaching was what people showed up for. It's also what I don't like doing.

But when I, when I. It is. If it. It's effortless and easy for me to do an interview or me to talk about the journey. And yet. And those are the things that everybody is saying that they jive with.

Okay, how much is there to teach? I feel like the fundamentals, how many hours of content you Go on teaching yourself.

That's what my YouTube channel is about. So I do the teaching. Like I do screen shares. Teaching you how to do this.

Yeah. And I'd rather blow my brains out. Yeah, yeah.

It's just fun to listen to.

Okay, I agree. But see, that's not teaching that. You sharing a message.

What you call monologue is me teaching something. But a rant. I hear as. It's just when I get on my high horse and I go, yeah. And it's like, I don't care if any of you are listening. Let me tell you how the truth is. Everybody.

And it's gone good to bad. Like sometimes, like when you go on your rant, you've had a couple things to drink and you're going like, whatever. And you know you're going to accept it whatever way it comes. But I'll bet you get more play out of that when you're like, let me give you the nine steps to.

I'd rather blow my brains out than give people the nine steps. Yeah. Correct. Okay, that's interesting.

Sean, what are you processing over there? Process out loud.

You always wanted to have a platform to ignite flight fires.

And you're thinking, I think maybe you're thinking of the platform as number of followers.

Etc, when the platform is more like a political platform, the platform of your message, and the people will come to that.

We've talked about that four different ways, but that's the word platform. There's two definitions of a platform. There's like something you stand on and. And then there's something you stand on.

Or.

I think when you stand for something like anybody else in the room, it's much more powerful.

Yeah. All right, thanks, y'. All. We'll cut it here. Let's break for 10 so my brain can reset. And then we'll. We'll keep going after that. I think it's so easy in Internet entrepreneur land to compare yourself to other people who are doing similar things and completely forget the unique value that you bring into the community. And we forget that until we all get together. And because we have kind of an ego less culture@capitalism.com, what we're able to cultivate is every person can bring in some sort of addition into the community. And people benefit not just because they're learning how somebody else did it or comparing their results to somebody else, but because they're sharing resources that legitimate, legitimately benefit each other. And some people would compare their skill sets and look at the results and say, who's better? But in the tribe. It's about bringing those people together so that everybody wins. I think that's what capitalism is. It's why capitalism creates change, because you can, for the first time, bring people with unique value together. Something new is created, and that's what we're doing.

It.
