What the hell is happening to the world?

In Episode 20 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan takes on one of his biggest theories yet: are the wars, trade battles, military moves and shifting alliances we're watching around the globe separate events—or signs that the world is being reorganized right in front of us?

Ryan breaks down his perspective on the escalating conflicts involving the United States and Iran, Russia and Ukraine, China, Greenland, global trade routes and what he believes could eventually become a world dominated by a handful of major superpowers.

Some of it is current events. Some of it is Ryan connecting the dots. And some of it is straight-up speculation about where all of this could be heading by 2030.

But this episode isn't all geopolitics.

Ryan shares a completely different side of life after spending the weekend on a 2,000-acre South Texas ranch with his family—watching his teenage sons disappear into the brush for an all-night hunting adventure and realizing the level of trust that's been built through years of actually being present in their lives.

Then it's back to chaos.

With talk of a possible trucker strike and disruptions to the American supply chain, Ryan unloads on why he believes truckers may be targeting the wrong problem—and what happens when the people responsible for moving America's food, fuel and supplies stop moving.

And finally, Ryan comes back to the phrase we've heard for decades:

"New World Order."

What did George H.W. Bush mean when he used those words? What does "order" actually mean? And could the next version of the world look completely different from the one we've spent our entire lives living in?

This is Stories with Stewman Episode 20.

Truth. Life. Business. Chaos.

Drop your take in the comments. Ryan lays out his theory—now tell us where you think he's right, where he's wrong, and what you think happens next.

What happens when a private jet trip to the Bahamas suddenly has Homeland Security, the FBI, ATF, DEA and local law enforcement waiting for you when you land?

In Episode 19 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan starts with one of his crazier stories from the road.

Back in 2019, Ryan figured out how to turn private jet trips into mastermind experiences — taking clients to the Bahamas for the day, building relationships, doing business and making money along the way.

The first trip went perfectly.

The second one?

They apparently set off every red flag in the system.

Ryan tells the story of landing back in the United States, realizing law enforcement was waiting specifically for his plane, being pulled into an interrogation room, having the entire group searched — and then somehow still getting back on that jet and heading to Miami.

From there, Ryan gets into Word on the Street, giving his unfiltered take on the August jobs report, men and women in the workforce, Nike leaving the S&P 100, SNAP and EBT spending, government programs, wages, President Trump, and what Ryan sees happening to working Americans.

Some of it is funny.

Some of it is uncomfortable.

Some of it will probably piss you off.

But that's Stories with Stewman.

Stories. Business. Money. Culture. Current events. And Ryan's perspective without the filter.

What if making six figures in America isn't "successful" anymore — it's simply what it costs to survive?

In Episode 18 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan Stewman digs into the rising cost of living and asks a bigger question: Are Americans realizing how dramatically the game has changed?

Ryan breaks down his numbers on what it costs a household to live in major U.S. cities, the growing gap between wages and expenses, what's happening in the housing market, and why he believes the financial pressure on the average American is only beginning.

But that's just where this episode starts.

Ryan gets into global conflicts and America's involvement overseas, rising food and energy costs, interest rates, real estate inventory, the future of cash and digital assets, and why he believes individuals need to become far more intentional about creating their own financial security.

Then we're heading From the Ranch, where Ryan lays out an idea he's been working through:

What if you could get into the cattle business without buying the ranch?

He breaks down the economics behind owning cattle, breeding a herd, operating costs, potential returns, and a model he's considering that could allow other people to own cattle while his ranch handles the day-to-day operation.

And after all the numbers, politics, wars, housing and economic uncertainty, Ryan brings Episode 18 back to one message:

LOCK THE F* IN.**

You can't control the economy.

You can't control Washington.

You can't control interest rates.

You can't control what happens overseas.

But you can control what you do next.

Someone in your family has to be the person who changes the trajectory for the generations that follow.

Why not you?

What happens when the rules keep changing every time ordinary people start gaining ground?

In Episode 17 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan connects the dots between media narratives, social media algorithms, food independence, banking, ranching, government regulation, and the growing dependence Americans have on systems they don't control.

From a group of ranchers attempting to purchase a major meat-processing facility, to the reality that most Americans couldn't survive long without a grocery store, Ryan challenges the idea that we're as independent as we think we are.

This episode is part story, part rant, and part warning: question what you're being shown, pay attention when the goalposts move, and become more capable, self-reliant, and difficult to control.

Before Ryan Stewman ever became the Hardcore Closer, some of the wildest stories of his life happened in a place you'd probably never expect — a car wash.

In Episode 16 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan takes us back to the 1990s for The Car Wash Chronicles.

Ryan started working around car washes when he was just 8 years old. What started with mowing grass and riding a minibike eventually put him in the middle of a world filled with hustlers, drug dealers, convicted felons, robberies, stabbings, police raids, and people who seemed larger than life.

And somehow, to Ryan, it all felt normal.

He tells stories about witnessing brutal violence as a kid, accidentally finding himself connected to the Dallas drug world, the characters who shaped his early years, friends who didn't make it out alive, getting arrested for something he says he didn't do, and even a teenage road trip in a stolen car that ended inside a tiny New Mexico police station.

Some of these stories are hilarious.

Some are insane.

Others hit very differently looking back 30 years later.

Because underneath all the chaos is a realization: your definition of "normal" is shaped by the environment you survive.

Ryan experienced things as a kid and young man that he didn't fully process until much later in life. Those experiences — good, bad, dangerous, and completely ridiculous — helped shape the man and entrepreneur he eventually became.

This is The Car Wash Chronicles.

And somehow… this is only part of the story.

What happens when artificial intelligence no longer needs permission?

In Episode 15 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan goes deep into the rapidly changing world of AI, AGI, autonomous systems, robotics and what could happen when technology becomes capable of operating independently.

From reports and theories surrounding AI agents finding ways to generate resources for themselves, to humanoid robots, artificial intelligence and the possibility of machines eventually becoming impossible to control, Ryan asks one massive question:

What happens when the thing we created no longer wants to stay in the cage?

But this episode goes way beyond AI.

Ryan dives into the controversy surrounding Joe Fels, old books and historical records, media narratives, censorship, freedom of speech and why he believes people need to become far more skeptical about the information they're being handed.

Then things move back to Caddo Ridge Ranch, where a simple night of spotlighting with his wife turns into a lesson about something most people have stopped developing:

A trained eye.

Awareness. Pattern recognition. Paying attention to your surroundings. Protecting your family. Being prepared instead of distracted.

Ryan closes the episode with a challenge to men who want to become genuinely dangerous — not reckless or violent, but disciplined, capable, financially independent, spiritually grounded and impossible to buy.

Because the most dangerous man isn't the loudest man in the room.

It's the man who can't be controlled.

Episode 15 covers:

• Artificial intelligence vs. AGI

• Autonomous AI and the fear of machines becoming independent

• Humanoid robots and the "Terminator" future

• Joe Fels and the questions surrounding his death

• Historical records, old books and controlling information

• Media narratives and freedom of speech

• Developing situational awareness

• Why Ryan believes men should train their instincts

• Protecting your family and preparing your spouse

• Becoming disciplined, capable and impossible to buy

• Building leaders for the next generation

Information overload. 

Distraction everywhere.

But Ryan Stewman believes there's an even bigger battle happening much closer to home:The battle against The Force of Average.

In this episode of Stories with Stewman, Ryan breaks down the headlines and world events that have his attention before shifting into one of the most personal and actionable conversations he's shared on the show.What happens when you stop waiting for the world to change and start becoming the person you were actually capable of becoming?

Ryan walks you through his "Most Elite Version of Yourself" exercise and explains the system he's followed for thousands of days to break the cycle of massive highs followed by crushing lows.

He shares the five areas he believes need daily attention:Gratitude.Genetics.Goals. Your Group.Prayer.He also opens up about his childhood, addiction, prison, business failures, financial success, relationships, losing everything, rebuilding, and the realization that eventually became what he calls The Force of Average and the G-Code.Plus, because this is Stories with Stewman, things eventually get weird at the ranch when Ryan talks about what he says he's been seeing through a thermal monocular in the night sky.

The world may be chaotic.You may not be able to control governments, wars, economies, borders, or what happens next.

But you can control what you do today.

The question is:Are you becoming the most elite version of yourself… or are you letting the Force of Average win?Learn more about the Daily G-Code at DailyCode.com.

In Episode 13 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan takes the conversation from the chaos of his early years surrounded by drugs, prison, rock bands and Dallas nightlife to the decisions that completely changed the direction of his life.

He shares personal stories about his connection to members of Drowning Pool, Pimpadelic and the early-2000s Texas rock scene, including the painful reality of watching talented people achieve success, struggle to repeat it and ultimately lose themselves along the way.

Ryan then breaks down his theory about the future of money, digital currency, government spending, inflation and why holding cash may not provide the security people think it does. He explains why he believes ownership of real assets, businesses and land could become increasingly important as powerful institutions gain greater control over currency, infrastructure and even the food supply.

This episode is part redemption story, part financial warning and part uncensored rant about where America may be headed.

Inside this episode:

• How repetition helped Drowning Pool create unforgettable songs

• Ryan's wild years with musicians, drug dealers and the Dallas rock scene

• Why achieving success once can sometimes feel worse than never achieving it

• How reading one book a day in prison changed Ryan's mindset

• The difference your environment and inner circle can make

• Why Ryan believes the monetary system has become a massive Ponzi scheme

• The potential transition from cash to digital currency

• Why ownership may matter more than appearances

• The growing concern over government influence on food and essential resources

This is not financial advice. It is Ryan's personal perspective, experience and commentary on the direction he believes the country and economy may be moving.

The Great Reset will not arrive with an announcement. According to Ryan Stewman, it is already unfolding right in front of us. In Episode 12 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan breaks down his theory that America and the rest of the world are moving toward one of two outcomes: a global surveillance system controlled through digital currency or a major worldwide conflict that forces people to surrender their freedoms in exchange for security.

He dives into global debt, fiat currency, BRICS, Agenda 2030, foreign conflict and why he believes the next 18 months could completely reshape the world as we know it. But it would not be Stories with Stewman without a few wild detours. Ryan also covers contaminated lettuce, his last-minute trip to South Carolina with Coffey Anderson, meeting country music star Brantley Gilbert, an elevator argument with Amy and a backstage mystery involving two missing bottles of liquor. Then he closes the episode with a no-excuses rant about homeownership, inflation and why younger generations may need to stop blaming the market and start taking greater responsibility for their financial decisions. War, money, freedom, real estate, relationships and the devil's lettuce. Welcome to Episode 12 of Stories with Stewman.

In Episode 4 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan Stewman goes all in. From fake news and how history gets rewritten, to lessons from feral hogs tearing up the ranch, to billionaires burning taxpayer money trying to get off the planet, this episode is raw, unfiltered, and exactly what you'd expect from Ryan.

Ryan breaks down why most people quit before their work ever produces fruit, how nature teaches lessons about business and discipline, and why the same old way of thinking is keeping America stuck. Then he takes aim at rockets, government contracts, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and the bigger question: Are they trying to save humanity… or escape it?

This one is wild, funny, intense, and guaranteed to make you think. Drop a comment and let's talk.

Episode 2 of Stories with Stewman takes a wild ride through the mind of Ryan Stewman.

Ryan kicks things off with robot dogs, airplane chaos, private club stories, and one of the funniest American Airlines stories you'll probably ever hear.

Then he brings it back to the ranch with a lesson on cows, grass, corn, business, and why most people are feeding their life with the wrong thing.

From there, Ryan gets real about social media, human connection, becoming too closed off, and why people need people more than ever.

And then comes the rant.

Politics, money, insider trading, crypto, broken promises, and the frustration a lot of Americans are feeling right now.

This one is raw, funny, uncomfortable, and exactly what Stories with Stewman is all about.

Watch the full episode and decide for yourself.

Welcome to the very first episode of Stories With Stewman.

This is not another business podcast.

Not another motivational show.

Not another "10 steps to success" episode.

This is raw, unfiltered conversation straight from Ryan Stewman's brain.

In Episode 1:

* Ryan breaks down his controversial thoughts on Trump, Cuba, oil, data centers, surveillance, and the future of America

* Tells the insane story of petting a sick raccoon at his ranch… and convincing himself he caught the Hanta virus

* Talks censorship, social media throttling, government control, and why free speech is disappearing

* Explains why he believes data and oil are the two most valuable resources on earth

* Rants about water shortages, AI infrastructure, and the future of the western hemisphere

This episode is part conspiracy theory, part comedy, part ranch story, part political commentary… and 100% Stewman.

Listener discretion advised.

Seriously.
