The FYE Mindset: Responsibility Over Excuses

In this episode, Ryan Stewman breaks down the FYE Mindset—Fuck Your Excuses—and how it's a personal mantra he lives by. Tattooed on his left hand as a constant reminder, FYE means taking full responsibility for your actions and situations, rather than making excuses. Ryan shares a recent story about firing a contractor who kept giving excuses instead of owning up to mistakes. He contrasts that with a deal he made years ago during COVID, where, despite circumstances beyond his control, he took responsibility for his promises and paid out $700,000 out of his own pocket.

Ryan's key message is that when you take responsibility, you gain wisdom and grow stronger. Excuses, on the other hand, rob you of the chance to learn and improve. Success comes from owning your mistakes, learning from them, and committing to doing better moving forward.

Take responsibility, gain wisdom, and always rise above excuses.

Rise Above. 🇺🇸
