• Grateful For The Glass People

  In this episode of The Ryan Leak Podcast, Ryan flips the script on the classic glass-half-full vs. glass-half-empty debate and introduces a third, more powerful mindset: being grateful for the glass. Whether you're naturally optimistic, a self-proclaimed realist, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge you to shift your perspective and find gratitude in what you do have—no matter how much or little that may be. From work and relationships to parenting, politics, and everyday struggles, Ryan offers practical ways to embrace gratitude in every area of life. Because sometimes, the key to joy isn’t in what’s in your glass, but in simply having one at all.Short, sweet, and packed with inspiration—this is one you’ll want to share with a friend.Rate, review, and subscribe to help spread the word!

• Lebron's Secret Sauce

  For years, people have fixated on how much money LeBron James spends on his body—chefs, trainers, hyperbaric chambers, and state-of-the-art recovery techniques. The number floating around? $1.5 million a year. But in a recent interview, LeBron made one thing clear: it’s not about the money. It’s about the time.In this episode of The Ryan Leak Podcast, we break down why time—not talent, not luck, not even money—is the real key to greatness. LeBron isn’t dominating the NBA at 40 because he’s rich. He’s dominating because he consistently invests his time in ways most people won’t.And that brings us to your time. People say they don’t have time to build a business, get in shape, grow their influence, or strengthen their relationships. But what do you have time for? Social media? Binge-watching? Another round of golf? If you want to go to the next level, you need a next-level schedule.This episode is a wake-up call. No more excuses. No more “I don’t have time.” The reality is, you’re going to spend the next five years doing something—the question is, will it be something that moves you forward?If you're ready to put your schedule where your mouth is, hit play. Let’s talk about what it actually takes to be great. 🎙🔥

• You Asked For This

  Success comes with a price—and most people don’t realize what they’re signing up for when they say, “I want to build a business,” “I want to be a leader,” or “I want to make an impact.” In this episode, we unpack the good problems that come with chasing greatness—the late nights, the tough decisions, the criticism, the pressure. Inspired by a powerful moment from Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla, we’re flipping the script on struggle and embracing the fine print of ambition. Because when you declare, “I want to be great,” you’re also saying, “Bring me the weight that comes with it.”You asked for this—and trust me, you’re going to be just fine.

• The Relationship Check-In You Didn’t Know You Needed

  Valentine’s Day has a way of making us reflect on our relationships—whether you’re happily married, single, divorced, or somewhere in between (hello, situationships). But no matter your relationship status, today’s episode is all about how we can grow together instead of growing apart.I’ve been married for 12 years this June, and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from my wife is this: relationships thrive when we stay in tune with what the other person needs in every season. What I needed in 2008 is completely different from what I need now—and the same is true for the people in your life.So, when was the last time you checked in on your spouse, your friends, your colleagues, or even yourself? Today, I’m sharing the power of asking the right question and how it can transform the way you connect with the people who matter most.
