Right About Now with Ryan Alford

What’s up, everyone!

With over 500 episodes, I wanted to pause and reflect on some of the best entrepreneurial advice we’ve ever shared on the show. So we pulled together an all-star highlight reel featuring Jasmine Star, Jeff Dudan, Sean Whalen, Josh Snow, and Devan Kline.

Their messages hit hard—not because they sugarcoat the journey, but because they reveal the grit, mindset, and clarity it actually takes to win.

I remember when I first started my own business, I thought success came from just working harder than everyone else. But what I’ve learned—and what these guests reinforce—is that it's not just about hustle. It's about playing your own game.

🔥 Here’s What We Hit

Jasmine Star: Define Your Game

Success isn’t universal. Define what winning looks like for you before chasing someone else’s scoreboard.

Your Move: Ask yourself: what am I really after? Set goals based on personal fulfillment, not social media comparison.

Sean Whalen: Brand Is a Long Game

Sean didn’t build his audience by selling. He built it by living his message. Millions of views later, his authenticity still drives the brand.

Your Move: Share your story consistently. Don’t try to "go viral"—build resonance over time.

Jeff Dudan: Play Offense, Not Defense

You don’t need a perfect plan to say yes to opportunity. Jeff's "Undercover Boss" moment came from being ready, not waiting.

Your Move: Say yes more. Action opens doors that planning alone never will.

Josh Snow: Build a Brand That Lasts

Josh took a single whitening kit and turned it into a powerhouse. Why? Relentless customer insight, smart marketing, and platform agility.

Your Move: Find one problem, solve it brilliantly, then scale with intention.

Devan Kline: ROI Comes from People First

Burn Bootcamp didn't explode because of slick ads. It grew because of a community-first mindset and rock-solid economics.

Your Move: Treat your customers and team like real partners. Serve them like your business depends on it—because it does.
