Motivational Moments with Maria

Marketing, Vision and Veterans with the Wizard of Ads

Maria Bradfield

Meet Ryan Chute, the Wizard of Ads and the Frictionless CEO.  Ryan teaches us that you need be distinctive, not just different.  

Ryan leads an 8-figure creative consulting agency within the Wizard of Ads®, helping ambitious Residential Home Service Contractors and Professional Service Companies 4-10X their revenue profitably with brand-forward sales and marketing solutions.

It wasn’t always that way, though. He grew up on a retail pirate ship, a disturbingly transactional world. Wheeling, dealing, offers, and gimmicks. His early career in retail and automotive was filled with deception, skullduggery, and friction;

🚫 Bad bosses,
🚫 Questionable practices,
🚫 Toxic work environments, and
🚫 Weaponize fear, shame, and guilt.

And he mirrored that behavior because he thought it was the right thing to do. You don't know what you don't know. 

After getting summarily fired for generally bad behavior, I had an existential crisis.

If this was bad, what was good? Did everything have to be such a grind?

Ryan said:  "It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was the one causing all the friction, not them. When you feel like you're in a room full of imbeciles, you're almost certainly the actual fool. If you don't feel that way today, you've likely already turned the corner on being an exceptional leader."

Listen in for his insights. 

Stay focused, stay positive and always have fun.
