From the outside-looking-in, Ryan Lee had it all. After 6 years working in a hospital helping physically-disabled and sick kids find more joy and ease, Ryan felt the tug of entrepreneurship. So, he left the job he loved to play in the world of "internet marketing," where he quickly made a name for himself and went on to built numerous, hugely-successful companies in the health and nutrition field. Along the way, Lee married his college sweetheart and was raising four great kids. He owned a beautiful house in Connecticut, worked from cafes and loved life. Then, everything started falling apart... Ryan's body began to betray him to the point where he could barely walk. He'd soon learn that was just a symptom of a much larger reckoning. A wake-up call that would test his health, his business, his closest relationships and lead to a complete reboot of his wellbeing, his living and life. And, as is his pattern, scratching the itch of his own wellbeing, Ryan began to notice a serious gap in the market. This culminated in the launch of a new professional path and a new company, REWIND, that is on a mission to produce nutrition solutions that "turn back the clock," and make life better and easier, starting with the world's first "super-bar." Ryan has been featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, on dozens of TV shows, has spoken on stages to over 100,000 people and has been called “the world’s #1 lifestyle entrepreneur” by Entrepreneur. But, what you're about to hear in today's conversation is the deeply-personal, raw and honest side of Lee's story that has never before been told in any of these outlets. A story of rising-high, crashing-hard, deep-reckoning, then realigning with a giant heart of service. Be sure to listen to the end, where Ryan answers the question, "what are you afraid of?" His answer is powerful reset to all who aspire to big things in the world. ------------- Have you discovered your Sparketype yet? Take the Sparketype Assessment™ now.

单集文稿 ...

  • So my guest today is Ryan Lee, who is actually an old friend of mine.

  • It's always kind of funny slash interesting when I get to sit down with somebody who I've known for many years and grill them on parts of their life that I actually don't yet know.

  • And that was the case with Ryan.

  • I learned a lot about him.

  • I mean, I've kind of known things.

  • Ryan grew up outside of New York City, started to sort of like, gain an entrepreneurial spirit in his early teens.

  • And he shares a story about how he actually had middle aged men coming to his house to buy things from him when he was twelve and 13 years old.

  • And he built on that and mixed his love of movement and exercise and physiology and service and started out his career actually helping kids, helping kids who are really struggling with physical limitations and conditions and disease.

  • And that evolved into something he never saw coming.

  • A whole career path that had some really high highs but also some really low lows and kind of landed him in what he calls the dark years of his life, which he has been slowly emerging from over the last five years.

  • And that's all kind of manifested in a new venture which is launching, actually a new series of nutrition bars called Rewind, which is pretty cool, how we got to that place and how he feels about it and what he's scared about as he does.

  • This is all part of the conversation we have today.

  • I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed sitting down and learning a lot more about my old friend Ryan Lee.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.

  • What kind of kid were you?

  • What were you into?

  • I was, you know, I was a good kid.

  • I never got into trouble.

  • I listened.

  • It was, you know, growing up, when we did, it was different back then.
