In this raw and personal episode, Ryan shares a defining moment from his time in prison, just two weeks before his release. At one of the lowest points in his life, Ryan found himself in a tense situation with an inmate who tried to attack him, followed by an embarrassing moment where his fellow inmates rejected him at their table, forcing him to sit with the “outcasts.” This painful experience taught him a powerful lesson about standards: you can’t allow people who don’t align with your values or goals into your circle, as it can make you look weak and damage your integrity. Whether it’s in business or personal life, Ryan emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people to stay strong and uphold your standards.
Keep your standards high and don’t let them sit with you.
