Luca teaches us that the monsters we fear most often aren't monsters at all — they're just people we haven't understood yet. And sometimes the biggest reframe isn't about other people. It's about how we see the problems in front of us.Ryan Boswell — hedge fund general partner, serial entrepreneur, and one of the most connected young business minds in Utah — joins Ryan Gregerson to talk about building a career on perspective, not a plan. After dropping out of college, bouncing through an AI startup, a nonprofit, and a cold plunge business with three thousand dollars in the bank and payroll due Friday, Ryan has built his life by asking one simple question in every hard moment: Why is this happening for me?Using Pixar's Luca as our lens, we explore how limiting beliefs keep us on the ocean floor, what it takes to silence the Bruno in your head, and why the way you see the problem is the problem.🎯 3 Actionable TakeawaysPause and Ask "Am I Being Pulled or Pushed?" — Take 15–20 minutes to evaluate whether you're forcing yourself into your current path or being naturally drawn toward it. Why it works: Pull creates sustainable momentum. Push creates burnout.Reframe "Why Is This Happening TO Me?" to "Why Is This Happening FOR Me?" — When something goes sideways, pause before reacting. Why it works: It shifts you out of victim mentality into what Ryan calls champion mentality — where you're solving the problem instead of suffering through it.Build the Muscle of Looking at Things Differently — Practice noticing the world around you with genuine curiosity. Why it works: The same muscle that helps you read a billboard differently is what helps you reframe stuck relationships, hard conversations, and your own inner critic.#YesAndLand #DisneyAdults #DisneyPodcast #LucaPixar #Luca #PerspectiveShift #MindsetMatters #EntrepreneurPodcast #SilencioBruno #RyanHoliday #DailyStoic #ExtremeOwnership #DisneyFans #PixarFans #BusinessConnections #PersonalGrowth #ChampionMindset

National Treasure — the 2004 Disney film — gets one thing exactly right: sometimes you have to declare your intention before you have any guarantee of success. Ryan Gregerson recorded this episode from Washington D.C., standing hours away from the actual Declaration of Independence at the National Archives, 80 days before America turns 250.🎯 3 Actionable Takeaways1. Read it — Read the Declaration of Independence this week as a personal assignment. Read the names. Let it land that these were real people who risked everything.2.

What if the scariest chapter of your life is actually the one that sets you free? Beauty and the Beast shows us why.

And that's exactly what Sybrina did when she left 25 years as a stay-at-home mom to launch Kinbry Capital.🎯 3 Actionable TakeawaysBe Present and Use What You Have – You don't need to search for new tools; leverage what's already accessible. Why it works: Belle befriended the enchanted objects and used the castle's resources to build the life she wanted.Use Your Past Experiences (Good and Bad) to Learn – Draw on both your Gastons and your Beasts.

Her journey mirrors Belle in Beauty and the Beast: comfortable life → call to adventure → facing fear and imposter syndrome → choosing curiosity → building something beautiful and authentic.Using Beauty and the Beast as our lens, we explore why Belle's willingness to look deeper—past appearances and first impressions—allowed her to see the truth beneath the surface. Similarly, Sybrina's choice to trust her unexplored potential and launch her own company shows the power of curiosity over comfort.HIGHLIGHTSWhy first impressions rooted in fear keep us from courageThe hidden cost of doing what the world wants versus what's authentically youLessons from Beauty and the Beast about curiosity, authenticity, and transformationSybrina's journey from 25 years as a stay-at-home mom to business ownerOvercoming imposter syndrome when entering new industriesHow to be present, use what you have, and take that terrifying first stepWHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy analyzing whether you're acting for yourself or for others is crucial before taking actionHow to use both positive and negative past experiences as tools for growthThe power of speaking your goals out loud to create momentumABOUT SYBRINA: Sybrina is the owner of Kimber Capital and a passionate advocate for the South Valley Chamber.

Ever wonder if someone's being charming or manipulating you? Tangled shows us the difference. Mother Gothel kept Rapunzel locked away using fake love and manufactured urgency, while Flynn learned that real influence comes from genuine connection. That's exactly what Josh Emfield discovered as a military interrogator: manipulation breaks trust, but influence builds it.🎯 3 Actionable TakeawaysSlow Down Decisions – When pressured to sign or commit, say "I've made myself a promise not to sign anything right away." Why it works: It removes urgency and puts the power back in your hands.Replace "Yes, But" with "Yes, And" – Stop negating what others say. Why it works: "Yes, but" kills relationships; "yes, and" builds them through validation.Listen to Understand, Not Respond – Let others talk, ask what they're looking for, then confirm you heard them. Why it works: People feel heard, and you learn what they actually need.Episode OverviewIn this episode, Josh Emfield, a military interrogator and real estate broker, joins Ryan to talk about the fine line between manipulation and influence. His journey mirrors the contrast in Tangled: military training → learning interrogation psychology → realizing manipulation in wrong hands is dangerous → using influence ethically in real estate and relationships.Using Tangled as our lens, we explore how Mother Gothel uses manipulation tactics—manufactured urgency, isolation, gaslighting—while Flynn's transformation shows how genuine influence works. Similarly, Josh's expertise helps us identify red flags and build authentic connections instead.Key Topics DiscussedThe psychology behind manipulation vs. influence and how to spot the differenceBody language secrets from a military interrogator (80% of communication is nonverbal)Why Mother Gothel and Lady Tremaine are master manipulatorsHow to recognize when someone is using urgency to control youWhat You'll LearnHow to identify manipulation tactics before you fall victim to themThe specific body language cues that reveal someone isn't being truthfulWhy understanding people's motivators is the key to better relationshipsHow to slow down high-pressure situations and reclaim your powerAbout Josh EmfieldJosh Emfield is a military interrogator, cryptolinguist, and real estate broker who specializes in understanding human behavior and communication.

What if the leaders who actually change communities aren't the loudest voices in the room? The Lion King shows us why. Mufasa's strength wasn't dominance—it was genuine curiosity about every creature in the Pride Lands. And that's exactly what Mayor Lorin Palmer discovered when he stopped networking and started building real relationships.🎯 3 Actionable TakeawaysHave a Conversation with Someone You Disagree With – Seek out one difficult conversation per week. Why it works: Understanding different perspectives builds influence far beyond echo chambers.Live Outside Yourself Through Service – When facing challenges, focus on helping others instead of your own struggles.

His journey mirrors Mufasa's wisdom: sales career → divorce and depression → rebuilding through genuine relationships → becoming a mayor who listens.Using The Lion King as our lens, we examine why Mufasa's leadership worked through understanding the circle of life and how every role matters.

Toy Story and the Epidemic of Loneliness: Why Connection Keeps Us AliveWhat if loneliness is killing you—literally? Toy Story shows us why. When Woody's identity feels threatened by Buzz, he withdraws into competition and insecurity. That's exactly what happens when divorce, career pressure, or life transitions leave us feeling unchosen—and the Surgeon General confirms it's as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.In this episode, Ryan Gregerson uses Toy Story to explore the epidemic of loneliness identified by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. Just as Woody's scarcity mentality made him competitive when Buzz arrived, divorce and life transitions can trigger isolation and defensive behavior. But Woody's journey from insecurity to secure identity shows us the path forward: courageous initiative builds belonging.🎯 3 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS1. Initiate One Relationship This Week – Reach out to someone you've been meaning to connect with. Why it works: Leadership in your career doesn't replace leadership in your relationships; taking initiative interrupts isolation.2. Commit to a Consistent Shared Environment – Join something that meets weekly (church group, pickleball league, support group). Why it works: Connection is built through repeated presence, not isolated encounters.3. Go One Layer Deeper with Someone – Ask a better question, offer a more honest answer, express appreciation out loud. Why it works: Small shifts in vulnerability create large changes in belonging.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE- How social disconnection causes health risks equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes daily- Why "just being honest" can become weaponized truth that fractures relationships- How to move from fragile identity (that withdraws) to secure identity (that initiates)- The difference between proximity and genuine connection- Three specific, actionable ways to build belonging this weekEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS- Surgeon General's warning on loneliness as a public health crisis- Harvard's 80-year study: relationships at 50 predict health at 80- Woody's scarcity mentality when Buzz arrives- Buzz's identity collapse and the divorce parallel- Weaponized truth vs compassionate truth- When your ex starts dating: "Buzz entering the room" again- Two common mistakes: isolation and overcorrectionABOUT YES AND LANDYes And Land explores the leadership lessons, relationship dynamics, and hard choices hidden in the stories we love.

FROZEN 2 AND BREAKING INTO MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRIES | WITH ASHLEY LUKEWhat if the safe path everyone expects you to take is actually keeping you from your best life? Frozen 2 shows us why. Anna's willingness to step into the unknown—without magic, without certainty—was her real strength. And that's exactly what Ashley Luke discovered when she left corporate America, sold everything to move to France, and eventually built a thriving business in a male-dominated industry.🎯 3 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYSDefine Success for Yourself – Take 10 minutes to write what success actually looks like to you, not what others expect. Why it works: You can't pursue the right path if you're following someone else's definition of success.Do One Scary Thing This Week – Speak up when you normally wouldn't, send that email, or try something new. Why it works: Small acts of courage build the muscle you need for bigger leaps.Reflect on When You Felt Most Yourself – Notice what you were doing in those moments. Why it works: Your most authentic moments point you toward your true path.In this episode, Ashley Luke, franchise owner of Pink's Window Cleaning, joins Courtney Pearl to talk about what happens when you stop following the conventional path and start creating your own. Her journey mirrors Anna in Frozen 2: stable jobs → selling everything to move to France with a one-year-old → returning to find her unconventional edge → building success in window cleaning by being authentically herself.Using Frozen 2 as our lens, we explore why Anna's lack of magical powers lets her see clearly and lead with courage. Similarly, Ashley's choice to not follow the traditional career path is what made her successful in an unexpected industry.HIGHLIGHTSThe hidden cost of following the "safe" conventional pathWhy living in France changed Ashley's perspective on successLessons from Frozen 2 and what Anna teaches about courage without certaintyOvercoming doubt and building success in a male-dominated industryHow to show up authentically when others expect you to fit a moldWHAT YOU WILL LEARNHow to define success on your own terms instead of society's expectationsWhy taking unconventional paths builds confidence and resilienceThe power of doing small scary things to prepare for big challengesWhy you'll always have doubters no matter what—so choose the life you wantABOUT ASHLEY LUKE: Ashley Luke is the franchise owner of Pink's Window Cleaning.

Mulan didn't quit when the army sent her home. She came back anyway — and saved all of China. What if that kind of grit is less about toughness, and more about knowing why you won't stop?In this episode, Jacob Davis — tech entrepreneur, startup veteran, and CEO of WellTrio — joins Ryan Gregerson to talk about what success through not quitting actually looks like. His journey mirrors Mulan's: never quite fitting the expected mold, facing real adversity, and discovering that the refusal to quit — aimed in the right direction — is what separates people who find their purpose from those who don't.🎯 3 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYSReframe the Obstacle — Ask "how do I get around it?" not "how do I bash through it?" The obstacle usually isn't the real problem.Point Your Compass at Magnetic North — Define what you actually want, then check whether your actions are aligned. Stress is what happens when your values and actions stop aligning.Talk About Your Problem — No one of us is as smart as all of us. In Mulan, the avalanche only happens because Shang listens.

What happens when a company known for magic starts losing its creative spark?In this episode of Yes And Land with Ryan Gregerson, we explore Bob Iger’s leadership journey through one of the most turbulent chapters in Disney’s modern history. Drawing from The Ride of a Lifetime, Ryan reflects on the breakdown of trust, the dangers of centralized control, and how psychological safety shapes innovation.This conversation dives into succession planning, corporate culture, executive decision-making, and the power of future-focused leadership. Rather than tearing down what came before, Iger chose to frame his leadership around possibility and renewal. That decision reshaped Disney’s trajectory and offers powerful lessons for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating transition.If you’re facing change in your organization or personal life, this episode will challenge you to say yes to what is and and to what could be.Subscribe to Yes And Land with Ryan Gregerson for more leadership insights.

Remember the Titans and the Character Ethic | Shea Owens on Stephen Covey's 7 HabitsWhat if the behaviors everyone tells you to fix aren't actually the problem? Remember the Titans shows us why. Coach Boone didn't win with a new playbook — he changed who his players were becoming. And that's exactly what divorce attorney and current part-time judge Shea Owens has witnessed across football fields, rural courtrooms, and a decade of navigating some of Utah's most complex legal terrain.🎯 3 Actionable TakeawaysChange Your Paradigm First – Before trying to fix any conflict, try viewing it from a completely new angle. Why it works: Behavior change without a shifted perspective rarely sticks.Identify What's at Your Center – Ask why you're really making the decisions you're making. Is it fear, money, or genuine values? Why it works: You can't align your actions with your values until you know what's actually driving you.Write Your Personal Mission Statement – Define who you want to become, not just what you want to achieve. Why it works: It gives you a ladder — and makes sure it's leaning against the right building.Using Remember the Titans as our lens, Shea and Ryan explore Stephen Covey's first three habits — Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, and Put First Things First — and why Covey called these the "private victories." Featuring the iconic "attitude reflects leadership, captain" scene, the story of Coach Yost's character-driven decision to stay as assistant, the real-world story of the Cliven Bundy standoff, and what keeping commitments to yourself actually requires.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy behavior change without character change almost always failsHow Covey's first three habits mirror the story of T.C. Williams' integration seasonWhat "beginning with the end in mind" looks like in divorce, football, and a nonlinear careerABOUT SHEA OWENS: Shea Owens is a family law attorney at RCG Law Group and a current part-time judge in Kane County, Utah.

What if the thing standing between you and your creative life isn't talent, but the story you've told yourself about who gets to be an artist? Ratatouille knows. Remy wasn't blocked by ability. He was blocked by a world that said a rat had no business in the kitchen. And that's exactly what Kirsten Hirst discovered when she stopped trying to recreate someone else's picture and finally started making her own. Kirsten Hirst is the Director of Revenue Operations at RCG Law Group, a practicing collage artist, and the daughter of an architect and a writer. She has spent years sitting at the intersection of analytical thinking and creative identity, and in this conversation she unpacks why insecurity, not lack of talent, is the real block that keeps most people from ever owning the creative side of who they already are. Using Pixar's Ratatouille as a powerful metaphor, Ryan and Kirsten dive into the belief that "not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." Together they unpack how creativity shows up in unexpected places like business strategy, architecture, marketing, and personal growth. 3 Actionable Takeaways 1. Buy a mixed media journal for $8 to $10, grab some old books from the thrift store, and make one collage a day for a month. What you learn about your creative blocks will be more valuable than any class. 2. List your childhood favorites — food, movie, TV show, favorite outing — then start doing those things again. Stop outsourcing joy to some future version of your life and let yourself be a kid. 3. Try on the identity of an artist before it feels like it fits. It's not something you aren't. It's something you've been afraid to admit you already are. Yes And Land explores the leadership lessons, relationship dynamics, and hard choices hidden in the stories we love.

What if the pressure to look perfect online is the exact thing holding you back? Encanto shows us why. Mirabel's "lack" of a gift was actually her superpower. And that's exactly what Jana Oman discovered when she stopped copying other real estate agents and started being herself on TikTok.🎯 3 Actionable Takeaways1. List What Comes Naturally – Focus on what feels easy, not what you “should.” Why it works: Authentic strengths attract the right people; performed ones attract everyone else.2. Post Stories, Not Reels – Share your day, food, or adventures. Why it works: Low-stakes practice helps you get comfortable on camera.3.

Why it works: You can’t improve what you don’t see, and people already like you.In this episode, Jana Oman, a real estate agent who built her business on TikTok, joins me to talk about what happens when you stop trying to fit in and start showing up as yourself. Her journey mirrors Mirabel in Encanto: tech career → pressured to cold call and door knock → realizing her “lack” of traditional skills was her edge → TikTok success by being authentically herself.Using Encanto as our lens, we explore why Mirabel’s lack of a visible gift lets her truly see and hold her family together.

You don't need authority to be a mentor. You just need experience and the willingness to share it. The Intern shows exactly how—and so does the attorney who went from pharmacy to patents to divorce law.3 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:Put Down Distractions and Observe - Stop scrolling. Look around. Someone near you needs guidance but won't ask. Why it works: Mentorship opportunities are everywhere, but you'll miss them if you're distracted.Look for Struggle (Not Just Failure) - Find someone working on something hard. Approach gently: "I've done this before. Want to know what worked for me?" Why it works: People are more open to "here's my experience" than "here's what you should do."Lead with "Here's My Experience..." - Never: "You're doing it wrong." Always: "When I faced this, here's what I did and what happened." Why it works: Sharing experience gives people agency. Telling them what to do takes it away.Try one this week and comment which you're starting with!In this episode, Kenton Walker, attorney who took the road less traveled (pharmacist → patent litigator at AmLaw 100 firm → family law attorney) joins me to explore what real mentorship looks like when you don't have a title, program, or formal authority. Using The Intern as our framework, we discuss how Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) becomes invaluable not through his tech knowledge (he has none) but through his experience, presence, and willingness to guide without taking over. Kenton's known at RCG Law Group as "the paralegal whisperer" and his approach mirrors Ben's: mistakes are expected, trust is earned through consistency, and the best mentors are guides, not commanders.We discuss:- Why Kenton left a successful patent litigation career to start over in family law- How mentorship works when you're not anyone's manager or supervisor- The power of "here's my experience" vs. "here's what you should do"- Why letting people make mistakes (and fixing them together) builds trust- How The Intern's Ben Whittaker mentors through principles, not technology- Why explaining the "why" behind what you do is mentorship anyone can practiceWhether you're early in your career wondering how to add value, mid-career feeling like you should be mentoring but don't know how, or experienced but lacking a formal leadership title, this conversation shows you exactly how to start.ABOUT KENTON WALKER: Kenton Walker is an attorney at RCG Law Group with one of the most unconventional paths to family law you'll hear. After working as a pharmacist at Johns Hopkins Hospital System and in the pharmaceutical industry, he went to law school and spent 22 years litigating patents for pharmaceutical companies—both in-house and at an AmLaw 100 firm. When he was ready for a new chapter, he chose family law and discovered his passion for mentoring others without needing a formal leadership role. Known affectionately as "the paralegal whisperer," Kenton's approach to mentorship centers on sharing experience, building trust through mistakes, and guiding without commanding.💬 Continue the conversation:Who in your life could use a "here's my experience" conversation this week?What's one mentorship opportunity you're missing because you're distracted?Have you ever been mentored by someone without a title?

Episode SummaryWhat happens when we stop responding to life, conflict, and pain with “but” and start responding with “yes, and”?In this opening episode of Yes And Land with Ryan Gregerson, Ryan introduces the core philosophy behind the podcast: validation as the starting point for growth. Drawing from personal experience, relationships, leadership, and lessons borrowed from improv comedy, Ryan explores how acknowledging someone’s lived experience creates space for empathy, connection, and meaningful conversation. This episode unpacks why even well-intentioned responses can feel dismissive, how curiosity outperforms judgment, and why being a peacemaker doesn’t mean avoiding disagreement.Inspired by storytelling, pop culture, and the creativity of shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway, Ryan reframes “yes, and” as both a communication skill and a life practice. From marriage and parenting to leadership and navigating hard seasons, this conversation invites listeners to honor what they’ve been through without staying stuck there. The goal isn’t fixing people or winning arguments, but creating space for hope, growth, and kindness.If you’re craving deeper conversations, better communication, and a mindset for moving forward without erasing the past, Yes And Land is your new landing place.Resources & ReferencesWhose Line Is It Anyway (improv comedy inspiration)Storytelling through Disney filmsFantasy novels by Brandon SandersonListen, Subscribe & Connect📺 YouTube 👉 https://YouTube.com/@yesandland🌊 Visit Ride The Wave Media 👉 https://www.ridethewave.media💛 Subscribe, follow, and share if this episode resonated with you.
