You should consider doing a "Master Class" on your writing and research process.

I have watched hundreds of videos of book writing but this few minutes video has helped me more than those hundred 1 hour videos I watched.

Thank you Ryan.

"And then you start the next one." This is how work gets done, and it's so great to hear it. My respect for you grows more and more as I read and listen to more of your work.

One of the few videos that actually sumarizes in a sincere way the work and effort behind a book. Keep up the good work!

I was surprised to find you here Ryan I purchased an e book copy of your book Ego is the enemy, God I love it! I had it printed and now it's on my shelf, a rare work of genius. I'm sure it will be one of the books of the ages! Thank you!

Oh MAN! I am tickled to see that you are using a more polished version of what I have come up with as a method myself. You make me smile on many occasions, Ryan. Thank you. I have notecards everywhere though. Gonna put em in a box, put em in a box. lol

Very inspirational Ryan. I did 27 years in Army as a Scout Pilot across 5 combat tours. I opened a craft beer brewery, divorced, lost my business, my kids, found love, and continue wanting to share my story with others one day. Your work and the messages you share have truly motivated me. I would love to get your advice on getting started. Steve Irving

A true craftsman, thankyou. Most notably you point out the flaws you see like a trim carpenter who creates a masterpiece but sees his one error he’s still working to refine and points its out to those who would have never seen… I appreciate your writings even with the typos, I hope you take a moment to pause appreciate your own accomplishments!

[SamuelRedman]

This is just what I needed to hear. Great. Thank you! I will check out your books.
