Ryan Stewman, AKA. the “Hardcore Closer” was one of the first guests on my (David Allan’s) Takeover Tuesday Podcast.

He’s had a sordid career path full of obstacles (a lot self-inflicted) that he managed

to overcome.

He’s turned his passion and skills into a multi-million dollar empire of businesses.

What’s funny is that he recently hired my former co-hos and recent guest of this podcast.

Carlos Redlich.

So what you’ll get a bird’s eye view of is the way one entrepreneur found and hired himself a copywriter.

As a bonus, Ryan talks a little about success and making sure you don’t start to

blow-up or implode on your way to getting what you want.

Both angles are very important lessons and an insider’s view on how everything works

in the real world.

For those paying real close attention…

Ryan demonstrates and embodies what it takes to find “your people”.

Which is another bonus only the crafty will take away.

Buckle that seatbelt, this one is a helluva ride.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

* Why 99% of all copywriters miss the boat when they approach new clients. (Ryan lays bare the reason this didn’t work with him at all!)

* How Ryan thrives with the odds stacked against him while others wallow in misery.

* The exact reasons Ryan noticed the copywriters he’s hired and how they lured him into their web.

* How one copywriter approached Ryan early in his career… and didn’t land him as a client – Ryan’s shocking confession!

* The hip-hop “remix” method of securing copy clients that could have snared Ryan.

Ryan Stewman: I am awesome. I am. I’m glad to be back. I didn’t realize that this was a different podcast than the one that we were on together before – YouTube deal though right. Like it was maybe on YouTube you’re promoting it.

David Allan: That’s right. That’s right. So previously it was myself and Carlos Redlich who were doing it and we had you on….

Ryan Stewman: I’m sorry to interrupt. No it’s really crazy. I did not realize that that was where I met Carlos. I actually just hired Carlos a couple of weeks ago. So that’s that’s hilarious.
