    Bitesize: How to Think Like an Entrepreneur #209

    In this bitesize episode, Alan Gregerman challenges one of the most deeply held assumptions in business and leadership: that more knowledge always leads to better outcomes. Drawing on decades of experience working with organisations around the world, Alan explains why expertise can sometimes trap leaders inside old assumptions—and why real breakthroughs often come from not knowing. Rather than glorifying failure, he reframes innovation as a process of learning: testing ideas early, listening to customers, refining quickly, and staying humble enough to adapt as the world changes. About the Guest: Alan Gregerman is an innovation expert, speaker, consultant, and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance.    About the Host: Paul is a CEO, 8-figure business owner and mentor to successful entrepreneurs helping them design the life they'd love to live and the freedom they need to live it. 👉 Paul Ryan Official Website Work With Paul: You can book a discovery call with Paul here: 👉 Book a Discovery Call with Paul Ryan :  https://calendly.com/inner-entrepreneur-podcast/discovery-call-with-paul-ryan?month=2026-05

    Inner Mentor (15) Matthew Perry & The Lie of Success #208

    In this episode of the Inner Mentor Series, Paul reflects on the life of Matthew Perry and the powerful lesson hidden beneath fame, wealth, and global success.  Despite becoming one of the most recognisable actors in the world through Friends, earning millions and achieving almost every dream imaginable, Perry openly admitted that success never gave him the peace, self-worth, or freedom from pain he hoped it would.  Paul explores the deeper truth behind addiction, achievement, and the relentless pursuit of “more” — and why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly use business, busyness, and success itself as a way to avoid sitting with difficult emotions.

    The 5 Behaviours That Shape Your Financial Future #207

    In this episode Paul chats with Ron Kmetovicz, author of Ghost Money: The Pathway to Financial Independence. Ron explains financial independence in simple, practical terms: multiple revenue streams, minimal debt, and the patience to build wealth over decades rather than chase quick wins. Together, Paul and Ron explore why so many people remain trapped living paycheck to paycheck, even as their income grows, and why financial freedom begins with behaviour long before it shows up in a bank account. This conversation is especially valuable for young people, parents, and anyone trying to build better financial habits. Ron shares his five-finger framework for financial independence: behaviours to avoid, behaviours to adopt, meaningful employment, prudent investing, and writing your own financial story. Paul and Ron discuss the power of starting early, investing consistently, avoiding lifestyle inflation, creating “ghost money,” and building the kind of freedom that allows you to live with greater autonomy, confidence, and peace. About the Guest: Ron Kmetovicz is the author of Ghost Money: The Pathway to Financial Independence.

This conversation reframes how growth actually happens. Gosia explains why most people fail when they try to change everything at once, and how the nervous system resists rapid transformation. Instead, she makes the case for small, consistent shifts — daily habits that compound into meaningful, lasting breakthroughs. About the Guest Gosia Wojciulewicz is an emotional wellbeing coach and mentor who helps individuals understand, regulate, and work with their emotions as a foundation for meaningful change.  About the Host:  Paul is a CEO, 8-figure business owner, and host of The Inner Entrepreneur Podcast, helping high performers create true wealth—purpose, prosperity, and freedom—through mentorship and meaningful conversations. 👉 https://pauljryan.net/   Work With Paul You can book a discovery call with Paul here: https://www.pauljryan.net/

    Inner Mentor (14) When You've Built a Business And Missed Your life #205

    In this deeply personal Inner Mentor episode, Paul reflects on a moment that stopped him in his tracks — finding an old poster during home renovations, signed by his young sons over 25 years ago. The message on the front was simple but confronting: 100 years from now, it won’t matter what you owned… only the impact you had on a child’s life. That moment sparks an honest look back. Not a perfect story — but a real one. The tension between building a business and being present as a father. The missed moments. The lessons learned. And the decision that followed — to make sure his calendar reflected what truly mattered. Paul explores the idea of true wealth — not just prosperity, but prosperity with purpose, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. He shares how so many entrepreneurs achieve financial success, yet quietly sacrifice the very things they started for — family, health, relationships, and time. At its core, this episode asks a simple but uncomfortable question: Do your priorities match how you actually live your life? Because in the end, you don’t get to go back. This is a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and make sure the life you’re building is one you’ll be proud to look back on.

    Bitesize: Why Smart People Still Procrastinate | Fuschia Sirois #203

    In this bite size episode Paul chats with Fuschia Sirois, psychologist and researcher in emotion regulation and procrastination. This conversation cuts through one of the most misunderstood behaviours in modern life: procrastination. Rather than framing it as laziness or poor time management, Fuschia reframes it as something far more human — an emotional response. What looks like delay on the surface is often an attempt to avoid discomfort underneath. Whether it’s anxiety, self-doubt, fear of judgment, or old emotional associations, we tend to move away from tasks not because we can’t do them, but because of how they make us feel. The real issue isn’t the task — it’s the relationship we have with our own emotions. About the Guest Fuschia Sirois is a Professor of Social and Health Psychology whose research focuses on emotion regulation, procrastination, and how our internal emotional world shapes behaviour.  https://fuschiasirois.com/ About the Host Paul Ryan is a CEO, 8-figure business owner, mentor, and host of The Inner Entrepreneur Podcast. 👉 https://pauljryan.net/ Work With Paul You can book a discovery call with Paul here: https://www.pauljryan.net/

    Inner mentor (13): You’re Wasting Your Time (And You Know It) # 202

    In this Inner Mentor episode Paul challenges the idea that lack of time is the real problem for most entrepreneurs. He explores how busyness can become a distraction from the truth — and how many people spend years working hard without actually moving forward. This episode goes beneath productivity and into awareness, asking whether we are truly progressing or simply repeating the same patterns in a different form. Paul breaks down the difference between external success and internal growth, and why real progress begins with honesty. He explores the power of quiet reflection, intentional focus, deep work, and recovery — and how one courageous decision can shift the direction of your life. This is a grounded, direct reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from doing more, but from doing what truly matters.
