In this episode of Here's the Deal, Brittney and Ryan dive into the connection between work ethic, mindset, faith, and personal growth. Inspired by their 14-year-old daughter's determination to tackle summer school geometry, they discuss what happens when you stop making excuses, set a clear goal, and commit to the process.

They explore the power of belief, how your self-image influences your results, why the stories you tell yourself become your reality, and how judgment, resistance, and limiting beliefs can block growth.

Ryan also shares his journey from a 20-year career as a truck driver and equipment operator to entrepreneurship, including the identity shift, fear, and decisive moments that changed the trajectory of his life.

The conversation wraps with a powerful discussion on faith, partnering with God, taking bold action before you see the entire path, and why some of life's biggest breakthroughs happen only after you take the first step.

In this episode:
• Work ethic and goal setting
• Parenting lessons and raising motivated kids
• Mindset, manifestation, and self-image
• Identity shifts during career transitions
• Entrepreneurship and personal development
• Faith, purpose, and trusting God's plan
• Why decisive action changes everything

If you're looking to grow your business, strengthen your mindset, deepen your faith, and create lasting change in your life, this conversation is for you.

Most people aren’t stuck because they don’t have a good plan. They’re stuck because they’re not moving.
The people we work with who actually win… they go.
They don’t wait for everything to make sense.They don’t need it to be perfect.They just keep the engine running.
And yeah, sometimes it’s messy.Sometimes it’s unclear.But they stay in motion long enough to figure it out.
That’s where clarity comes from.
Not from thinking about it more.From doing it.
If you’ve been sitting on something, tweaking, waiting, trying to “get it right” first… this is your sign to just go.
We talked about this on our latest podcast episode. It’s real, it’s practical, and it’s how this actually works.
Go listen. Then get moving.

In this episode, Ryan and I break down one of the biggest differences between people who stay stuck and those who actually build something big—and it’s not the perfect plan.

We talk about what we call having a big engine—the internal drive, work ethic, and capacity to keep moving forward regardless of uncertainty. The truth is, most successful people don’t have it all figured out when they start. The plan gets built through action, not before it.

We dive into why clarity of vision matters more than having every step mapped out, how over-planning can actually slow you down, and what it really takes to grow and scale in business.

If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” or trying to perfect your next move, this conversation will challenge you to shift your focus—from planning to building, from hesitation to momentum.

Because the people who win? They don’t wait. They move—and figure it out along the way.

In this episode, Ryan and I get real about what actually makes a marriage strong—and it’s not keeping score. Marriage isn’t a 50/50 or a zero-sum game where one person wins and the other loses. It’s about partnership, communication, and intentionally creating something better together.

We dive into why clear, honest communication is the foundation of everything, how misunderstandings and unspoken expectations can quietly create distance, and what it really looks like to be on the same team.

We also talk about the importance of defining what you want your marriage to look and feel like—because if you’re not creating it on purpose, you’ll default to patterns that don’t serve you.

This conversation is for anyone who wants a stronger, more aligned relationship built on clarity, connection, and shared vision—not just going through the motions.

If you’re ready to stop reacting and start creating your marriage with intention, this one’s for you.

Most business owners think they’re stuck because they need a better strategy, more leads, or a new offer.
But the real issue is harder to admit.
It’s ego.
In this episode, we break down one of the biggest growth ceilings we see in 6-figure businesses trying to scale:
The need to control everything, have all the answers, and still expect different results.
We share a real client story that highlights this pattern—and why hiring help without actually trusting it will keep you stuck longer than anything else.
We also get into:
•Why control kills scalability
•The difference between being busy vs. making money
•Why most people create more offers instead of fixing what’s already broken
•And the shift required to actually grow beyond your current level
If you’ve been working hard but not seeing the financial growth you expected, this episode will hit.
Because at some point, it’s not about doing more.
It’s about getting out of your own way.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Megan Reed (Ferrell), founder of Unstoppable and Unstoppable Women—a movement rooted in resilience, faith, and the courage to get back up again and again.

Megan is a mom, wife, author, speaker, and what she calls a “professional hustler of starting over.” Her life and mission are built around one core belief: you are never disqualified by your past, your setbacks, or your circumstances.

Through Unstoppable Women, Megan is on a mission to give single moms a hand up, not a handout—hosting Dress for Success days, supporting back-to-school needs, and helping families experience the joy of Christmas through both practical support and heartfelt generosity.

In this conversation, we talk about her foundation, why women don’t need to carry shame when asking for help, and how every woman—no matter her current chapter—has the ability to become unstoppable.

Megan’s mission is simple but powerful: to remind women that they are capable, worthy, and truly unstoppable.
