Ryan Thurgood has In my life I have filmed A-list celebrities, Fortune 500 Companies, Professional Athletes and Sports teams. I have created documentaries and commercials which have aired from the US to China. Just like the highlights on social media, that’s not the whole story. My first year in business I made less than $1/hr. To get experience with low paying jobs I have slept in my rental car in Baltimore, New Jersey, North Carolina and Seattle. I have worked 24 hours straight for more days than I can count to gain knowledge and become a better film editor. I have been fired, hired and founded multiple businesses. I have had crowds of people cheering for me at home and strangers spitting and yelling at me in foreign countries. I have lived in America, Greece and the Island of Cyprus. I married my 5th grade girlfriend. She also broke my heart when she dumped me in 6th grade. All of these gave me experience and learning I have used in my life. Today I have a beautiful family with amazing kids.We are closer than ever before after my youngest daughter just 6 years old at the time battled cancer for 2 1/2 years. She was diagnosed just one month after covid shut everything down. Restricted from everyone outside of our own household, it was one of the most difficult times of my life.
You see many know me as a videographer, marketer and Real Estate Broker but few know the story of how I got here. The best stories aren’t made with an easy life. Just like the best movies, the best life stories are the trials, challenges and getting stretched more that you could imagine then conquering them.
Everyone in life has a story. That’s what the Overcome podcast is all about. That’s why it’s called Overcome, the Story of YOU.
You might have been in a trial in the past or you might be going through one now. One thing is for sure and that it trials are in everyones life and they will be in yours. That’s alright because somewhere, someone has and probably IS going through a similar trial. Overcome is the collaboration of all of us together. No matter how you feel today, you are never alone.
In life You’re going to get knocked down and sometimes you’ll wonder if you will ever get back up again. There will be times you will feel kicked while you’re still on the ground. Life has a way of continuing on regardless of the situation we are in. There will be a day when you will look back at what you gained from those challenges. You will realize that they never took you down, they sculpted you into something unbreakable. All that is required to overcome the trials is to change your perspective and keep going. You will overcome and gain a better perspective of your own life through your trials.
In this podcast I am going to share my life and talk about personal ways I have found to have joy especially in the deepest and darkest trials. I will also have a variety of guests share their experiences. Together we are going to see the light that shines and the growth that you will gain on your personal journey. From my greatest hardships have come the greatest lessons and the greatest stories.
Sometimes all you need to do is take a look outside. The sun WILL come out again. Somedays all you need is a friend telling you they’ve been there too. When you hear of their experiences and how they Overcame it will inspire you to do the same. That’s what the Overcome podcast is about. How we have overcome employment, overcome life and even how we overcome death. We are all one here and you are part of this great life. Easy times are nice but your trials will create your legacy. Every trial is different but it is CUSTOM MADE for YOU. Every trial has a lesson, recognize them. Your life will be great again as you see things through a different perspective. What an amazing story you’ll have to tell.
We are in this life together and as we Overcome and one day your story may be the greatest ever told! That’s why I’m introducing the podcast Overcome, the Story of YOU!
