True Conversion: Ryan's Story

Episode 16The advice that changed Ryan Flint's life was never about confidence, success, or even real estate - it was a simple plea from his grandmother: start seeing yourself the way I see you. That moment set him on a journey that reshaped how he leads, serves, builds businesses, and talks about faith in public.Ryan Flint has spent nearly two decades in real estate, entrepreneurship, and advisory leadership, but this conversation goes far deeper than career wins. Brennon Schweikart and Ryan unpack the “second mile” philosophy, the power of imperfect action, and why the real test of leadership is whether you see people for who they are, not just what they produce.You'll discover how Ryan went from chasing titles and external validation to prioritizing people, journaling through every season of life, and building a public presence that blends professional credibility with personal testimony. He shares how his grandmother’s courage, his father’s example of service, and his mission experience on the Mexico border helped him understand that influence is about being a conduit, not the center of attention.We break down why social media became a tool for one person, not a platform for applause, how the atonement informs his work, and why he believes the strongest businesses are built on trusted representation, humility, and the willingness to do more than expected. Ryan also explains the framework behind The Second Mile, his upcoming book rooted in Matthew 5 and the idea that the Savior doesn’t just tell us where to go - He walks with us.If you’ve ever felt stuck in your career identity, unsure how to share your faith, or overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect before taking action, this episode will meet you where you are. Essential listening for anyone trying to build a meaningful life, a stronger family, or a business that leaves people better than it found them.
