In this powerful episode of Real Stories with Jordan Silvester, we sit down with Ryan Giles, owner of RFG Plumbing, to explore his journey from a rebellious teen in Windsor to a business owner guided by faith, family, and integrity.
🎙️ Inside this episode:
Growing up in a family of plumbers but resisting the trade — and why Ryan charted his own path first.
Becoming a father at 17 and how it reshaped his outlook on work and responsibility.
Early jobs in fast food, construction, and airport security — and the lessons each role taught about adaptability and resilience.
How multiple jobs, setbacks, and clashes with management prepared him for entrepreneurship.
Building RFG Plumbing with his dad and brother, and the importance of persistence and learning by doing.
Why entry-level jobs matter: discipline, humility, and the foundation for success.
How Ryan’s faith became central to his life and business, guiding him toward peace, joy, and stronger relationships rather than chasing endless growth.
Ryan’s story is proof that success isn’t about following a straight line — it’s about resilience, adaptability, and letting your values guide the way.
