Hey, guys. Welcome back to problems to profit. We have a very special guest today. We have Ryan Daniel Moran. I just had the privilege of listening to this gentleman on stage, and I'm not gonna lie, he kinda rocked my world. He's got this sarcastic, playful, fun energy. And, you know, I normally don't walk into a room and just get shocked by a speaker. They all have a very similar pitch. Like every bit of clickbait on YouTube is kind of the same. All the lion news media's kind of got an agenda to push. They're all the same. And then I go listen to Ryan and we're going to get into this some, and he just rocked my world with some of the points. And I want you to listen through this whole thing because he might change some of your opinions and shift some of the way you think. But before we get into the parts that I know are going to blow their minds and maybe end their conspiracy theory natures.

Like you might have done for me, I'd like to just hear. Cause he's an amazing entrepreneur, turned 600 bucks into a huge exit, made millions of dollars, and now he's teaching others to do it. And he's in this click and order space. And as a brick and mortar. Brick and mortar guy who can't talk, I just admire these guys that do the click and order, the advertising. I'd like to hear a little bit of your story. How did you get into this world where you're an influencer, you're an entrepreneur, you're leading groups, you're training others now to do what you did? How did you go from whatever problems you started with, which we believe are the lessons in life, to the profits that turned you into the man you are today?

Some people are born with the itch to become an entrepreneur. At five years old, I was the kid drawing pictures and trying to sell them door to door to my neighbors for a penny each? That's a real story. My dad paid for all of the cost of goods sold, so I had really great profit margins for that first business. I made 4 cents that night. I was the kid who shoveled drives for five bucks. I was the kid who mowed lawns. Some of us have that itch. But I went to college thinking I was going to become a pastor. And when I was in ministry school, I had a teacher named Dr. Constance Cherry who said, if you can do anything other than be a pastor and still be happy, please go do that thing. And I said, thank you for the permission. I'm going to become an entrepreneur because I had always wanted that and thought that I needed a bigger, deeper calling. And so I was doing the ministry route mostly out of guilt. And what I really wanted to do was start businesses. And that was what led me into Internet marketing, where I discovered this crazy world of selling things when people click on them and building websites that you can monetize and creating content that people find all over the world. And that is just. At the time it was Internet business. Today it's just business. That's how business operates. For the purposes of. Of your audience. I'm prob. I'm best known for starting a company with $600, selling it four years later for $16 million. I did not get all of that money for reasons we'll probably talk about. I started teaching that model of how I was starting those businesses, growing them to seven figures in revenue, preparing them for exit in some cases. Wrote a book called 12 months to 1 million that became a bestseller. And people seem to have appreciated the work that. That's the 60 or 90 second version.
