From Tragedy to Triumph: The Journey of Writing 'Wounds'


In this week's episode of the podcast "Self Funded" with Spencer, hosted by Spencer Smith, performance coach Ryan Miller shares his unique coaching approach that combines psychology, self-perception, and personal branding. Ryan's coaching journey began with a focus on sales, but it quickly evolved to encompass a deeper understanding of human behavior and the importance of self-perception in achieving success. Ryan believes that influence, relationship building, and understanding oneself are crucial for success. His coaching aims to help individuals uncover their potential and overcome self-destructive behaviors. He emphasizes the importance of personal branding and authenticity in achieving both professional and personal fulfillment. One of the key aspects of his coaching approach is his focus on psychology and human behavior. He believes that understanding how individuals see themselves and their true potential is essential for unlocking their success. Ryan states, "My coaching today is about seeing inside of other people what they can't see inside of themselves, bringing those things to the surface, and then helping them leverage those tools to go get whatever they want." This coaching approach goes beyond traditional sales techniques and methodologies. While he acknowledges the importance of process and execution, he believes that human behavior and self-perception are the driving forces behind success. He explains, "Sales is a fraction of a percent of what I do to help people be successful as it relates to generating revenue or achieving a goal. Human behavior and psychology, rooted in how we see ourselves and who we really are, is what drives us to be able to execute, to achieve, to be successful." In his upcoming memoir, 'Wounds', Miller shares his personal experiences and challenges, including surviving the Vegas mass shooting in 2017. He believes that healing past wounds and understanding one's own story is crucial for personal growth and success. He says, "I had all these unhealed wounds in my life... all of these were just compounding on top of each other, and they were creating a version of me that I didn't love." Personal branding is another important aspect of Miller's coaching approach. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and self-discovery in building a unique personal brand. He explains, "There is no worse position in life to be than living as somebody other than yourself." He believes that understanding one's true identity and communicating it effectively is essential for standing out in a competitive market. However, Miller acknowledges that balancing different factors in coaching can be challenging. He states, "But what does that do? That hinders your ability to uniquely identify yourself in a market. And so therefore, the customers that you're trying to pursue don't see you as any different than anybody else." In conclusion, Ryan Miller's coaching approach combines psychology, self-perception, and personal branding to help individuals uncover their potential and achieve success. By understanding human behavior, healing past wounds, and embracing authenticity, he believes that individuals can overcome self-destructive behaviors and achieve both professional and personal fulfillment.
