Episode 49 Ryan Zofay

If you’ve been scarred by a rough past, you’re likely often thinking: Why is this happening to me?

Most of us have been there. So did my guest for today’s episode of Success Leaves Clues, Ryan Zofay. After years of lingering trauma, rash coping mechanisms, and a low, ashamed mindset, Ryan decided to break even with life and eventually shape his path positively. While he attributes this change to the influence of motivational speaker and thought leader Tony Robbins, he’s able to sum it up into one life-changing realization: that life wasn’t happening “to” him, it was happening “for” him.

In today’s episode, hear Ryan’s story of becoming a personal motivational coaching brand by learning to view life’s happenings as opportunities for growth and self-improvement. He reveals the tough relationship he’d formed with his father (who’d himself been traumatized from a divorce and the death of one of his children) as a child, and how it affected his behavior in relationships, specifically in a toxic relationship with his old partner. While the relationship had major falls, his then partner introduced him to Tony Robbins, whose words helped him understand his past behaviors and change them. Tony Robbins’ speeches led him to find his end goal of becoming a voice for those who are scared to speak up—which he does today through We Level Up. Hear all the lessons from his inspiring journey in this episode!

Meet Nicholas Bayerle - a man on a mission to help others achieve their dreams and unlock their full potential! From a young age, he knew the value of solving problems and bringing value to people, thanks to his father's carpet cleaning and flood restoration business. Starting his own lawn mowing company at just 12 years of age, he discovered the importance of delivering value to his customers!

Despite a passion for motocross, Nicholas faced challenges when his parents separated and he struggled with his mental and overall well-being. Feeling like his dream had been crushed, he stopped talking to his father for over three and a half years and lived only with his mother. But if you’re wondering if these challenges held him back from his success, you’re wrong. Because they didn’t. Instead, they fueled his drive to help others achieve their goals and unlock their full potential! Nicholas learned the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and investing in personal growth and came far in his financially free career as an entrepreneur and coach. Now with his mentorship program and show, he has a community of Christian business owners and provides them with free content on health, faith, family, and business. He is also the founder of Kings Brotherhood and hosts personal development events. He encourages people to seek out wise counsel, surround themselves with like-minded individuals, and take action towards their goals!

With financial freedom, you can pursue your dreams without needing permission from money. Nicholas’ dream is to create a community where individuals can connect, grow, and achieve their dreams without fear of financial constraints or negative beliefs holding them back. Does it strike a chord with you too?
