Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things but staying in the exact same spot? In this episode of Profit Made Simple, Dan Henderson sits down with mindset and high-performance legend Kylie Ryan to unpack why so many high achievers end up "successfully stuck." Kylie shares her 22-year journey from an anxious, overweight waitress to becoming the coach behind the world’s biggest coaches.
They dive deep into the "unconscious scripts" that run our lives, exploring how inherited beliefs can act as a handbrake on your health and wealth. Kylie explains the concept of emotional constipation—the high cost of numbing your feelings to get ahead—and why "pushing through" eventually leads to a success you can't even feel.
As we move into 2026, Kylie challenges fitness and business leaders to shift from being "prescription-based" consultants to transformational facilitators. You’ll learn why the best answer is usually a better question, how to develop true magnetic leadership, and the simple "three-minute rule" for processing emotions. If you’re ready to stop being a "business machine" and start being a multi-dimensional human, this episode is your roadmap.
