In part 1 of this two part series, Ryan sits down with JB for a grounded… funny… and real conversation about what it means to live on purpose in a world that rewards negativity. JB shares how his show started in his living room. Why he cares so deeply about the next generation and how “moments that define you” are less about the event and more about how you show up inside it.

Key topics

• Putting good into the world when outrage gets more attention
• Why stories and testimony help people survive hard seasons
• The idea that life decisions stack over time… one small choice at a time
• Regret… ownership… and mining wisdom from the road not taken
• Self awareness… humility… and leadership that thinks about others
• Parenting and shaping character early… without a perfect playbook

Notable moments to listen for

JB’s “three stages of life” framing… in a problem… coming out… or heading in
The “unsolicited compliment” parenting idea… rewarding character when no one is watching
Ryan’s reflection on music… quitting right before the breakthrough… and taking ownership without self punishment
