RealityOS | Why Elite Leaders Detach from the Outcome

Go here: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://link.ryanhanley.com/youtube Back when I was running brand and growth for Agency Nation, I made this mistake on loop. One slow day of traffic? New headlines. A week of soft sales? New ICP. Open rates dip? New platform, new list, new ‘guru’ playbook. It felt like leadership. It was chasing.  Every time I overreacted to one outcome, I yanked the team attention off whatever we had been doing and sent them down fresh rabbit hole—new tech, new tactic, new market… rinse, repeat. We never let the system compound. No consistency → no scale. It finally clicked during Elevate 2018: we set the strategy, locked the system, and stopped reacting to every blip.  Registrations wobbled, sponsors hesitated—we stayed on plan.  The result 827 attendees for an insurance conference with zero CE. Years later, people still tell me that single event changed their careers.  That’s what consistency buys you… that chasing never will. Want to become a FEARLESS entrepreneur and leader?

Or, as Mike Tyson put it, ‘Everybody’s got a plan… until they get punched in the mouth.’  …so you got punched in the face…What now? Well, first, don’t freak out. 70% of strategic plans fail in execution. That’s according to the Harvard Biz Review. The reason for this is that most ‘leadership advice’ is nostalgia wrapped in a PowerPoint delivered by a consultant who will be long gone when it comes to the actual execution of the plan. How do I know? I’ve spent over two decades building, leading, and selling businesses, most notably scaling Rogue Risk from zero to acquisition in just two years.  I’ve run national brands, launched an industry-defining events, and worked as an turnaround CEO for businesses in tech, insurance and fitness.  I’ve coached founders, executives, and teams to unlock unreasonable growth by cutting through myths and leading in reality.  I don’t teach theory—I’ve lived the chaos, made the calls, and earned the scars.  If you're looking for safe, pretty leadership advice, I’m not your guy.  If you want the truth and a system that wins in the real world, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re kicking off a 7-part series on my RealityOS leadership operating system.

You may have noticed something different. We’ve rebranded the podcast… For over 350 episodes, this podcast was called The Ryan Hanley Show. Solid… I mean, my name is Ryan Hanley. But…it’s never felt right… Or maybe a better way to put it is that the name has always felt like it missed capturing the real mission of this podcast. I want to help ambitious, driven, unreasonable human beings find peak performance in their life and business. Sometimes that takes the form of leadership, psychology, or fitness… …and here’s the thing, the FINDING part is important. We’re never going to reach our peak self… none of us…but then that’s not the point. It’s the effort, the battle, the struggle, the climb…it’s the feeling you get wading through a sea of bullshit and obstacles, everyone questioning you, doubting you… It’s the feeling of knowing you’re on the path…getting better every day… I’ve been building the Finding Peak brand — the newsletter, the coaching, the speaking — for a while now.

What if I told you that your biggest breakthrough is waiting on the other side of your biggest breakdown? What if the very thing you're afraid of—losing control, facing uncertainty, getting knocked down—is exactly what you need to discover who you're really meant to be? Join our community of fearless leaders in search of unreasonable outcomes... Want to become a FEARLESS entrepreneur and leader? Go here: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://link.ryanhanley.com/youtube Here's the truth most business leaders won't tell you: not fitting into corporate culture… even getting fired might be the best thing that ever happens to your career. I know this because it wasn't until I was fired from three executive positions that I realized each termination was a gift I didn't know I needed. While most people think success is about climbing the corporate ladder, playing the game, and getting the flashy job title is what success looks like… But if you’re here, I’m assuming that’s not you. My name is Ryan Hanley, most people just call me Hanley, and after getting fired for the third time, I finally realized something: God didn't create me to work for someone else.  He created me to be a builder, a leader, and an entrepreneur. That's when I founded Rogue Risk, a digital insurance agency, built it from nothing, and sold it for seven figures in less than four years. Over the last 10 years I've delivered over 400 keynotes to leaders around the world, growth this podcast to consistently rank among the top in the world and coached 100’s of founder and leaders through my  RealityOS framework—a leadership philosophy that helps entrepreneurs break through the three biggest barriers killing their growth: undisciplined focus, uninspired company culture and a lack outcome driven systems. This podcast is for unreasonable people seeking unreasonable outcomes.  If you're tired of playing small, if you're frustrated with where you are versus where you know you should be, if you're ready to stop making excuses and start making moves—then you're in the right place. Here's what I know after sitting in every seat at the table—founder, operator, executive, speaker, investor, coach: People don't follow logos. They follow leaders. Leaders who do the work. Who tell the truth. Who show the hell up when everyone else is making excuses. That's what we do here. We have real conversations with real people who've achieved unreasonable outcomes in their life and business.  No fluff. No theory. Just the raw, unfiltered strategies, mindsets, and habits that separate peak performers from everyone else. Whether you're revenue growth has stalled, you're struggling with leadership, or simply know you're capable of more but can't figure out how to get there—this show will give you the clarity, tools, and inspiration you need to break through to the next level.
