I'm Dr. Ryan Gleeson — chiropractor, business owner, and coach for seven-figure founders who want to win in business without losing themselves in the process. I went bankrupt in 2017. And it was the best thing that could’ve happened. It forced me to stop, look at what I'd actually built, and ask whether any of it was worth it. I rebuilt from zero, hit seven figures, and the man who came out the other side was completely different to the one who went in. This podcast is for the founder who's good at business but knows something is off. Revenue is up. Team is growing. And yet you're exhausted, disconnected, and running on fumes. You don't need another growth strategy. You need someone to tell you the truth about why high performers hit a ceiling that has nothing to do with their business model. We talk business here. Strategy, decisions, leadership, what it actually takes to build something that lasts. But we don't stop there. Because in my experience, the thing holding most founders back isn't their marketing or their offer. It's them. Their body. Their identity. Just honest conversations about what it takes to win in business and still have a life worth living at the end of it.
The Chloe Condition: How She Built her Fitness Empire from Zero
Chloe is from Myanmar. In 2013 she graduated, got a corporate job, and felt completely unfulfilled despite doing everything right. She found fitness that year, started sharing free health and wellness content online for women like her, and people began asking her to coach them. She never intended to build a business. Then COVID hit, and 3,000 to 4,000 people signed up to her first fitness challenge overnight. She called her mum the next morning not knowing what had just happened. The community she has built since — tens of thousands of women, going seven years strong — is what she calls her greatest achievement. This conversation covers the real timeline, the free work you have to do before anyone pays you, why feeling unfulfilled despite a good job is not a you problem, and what it actually looks like to build something people never want to leave.

Uma Thana B: Every High-Performing Man I Know Has Daddy Issues
Virtually every high-performing man I've ever worked with has the same thing running underneath. Conditional love. A dad who was present but never said enough. A childhood where love came through achievement, sport, good grades, being useful. Most founders never connect the dots between that wiring and the way they're running their business today. This conversation does. Uma spent 20 years in corporate, became one of the youngest VPs on a senior leadership team in Singapore, and then walked away from all of it to figure out who she actually was. What she found in that process is something most high-performers spend their entire career avoiding. We talk about where the drive really comes from, what it costs when you never deal with it, and why the body tends to carry everything the mind refuses to face.
