EP101: Ryan Stewman: Becoming the “Hardcore Closer”

Podcast available on

Sales is a long game. More than a salesperson’s silver tongue and their creative offers, it’s their tenacity and patience that could really make or break their career. Hard work still remains to be the key to success, but this is not without challenges and distractions.

Ryan Stewman is the author of G Code and the leader of the Apex Movement. He’s also known as the Hardcore Closer. Ryan is on a mission to help as many people as possible become the most elite version of themselves and he has coached and helped over 20,000 clients. 

The full-time investor has ownership in 30+ companies with more than a hundred employees. He’s also a top contributor to Forbes and has published 13 books, 4 of which have gone on to become bestsellers.

On this episode of the Perfectly Mentored Podcast, Ryan and Jason discuss what is important when it comes to sales, how mindset affects everyone, and what to do when faced with the “force of average.”
