Finding Peak: Build a Life That Wins

I've waited a long time for this...

In 2012, I began publishing online to untangle my thoughts on work, success, and life.

Over 100,000 people decided to ride shotgun—not because I have every answer (spoiler: I don’t), but because we all crave the same thing: a life driven by purpose.

For a decade, I served up straight‑shooting business tactics. Then I realized the playbook is bigger. Business is only one lever. Health, relationships, mindset, and legacy matter just as much, and they all feed each other.

So I started asking louder questions:

• How do we build businesses that serve our lives instead of consuming them?

• How do we become the strongest version of ourselves—physically, mentally, spiritually?

• What does it really take to win in a marketplace where technology flattens yesterday’s advantages?

Those questions led me into private memberships and masterminds full of entrepreneurs who balance profit with purpose.

Their workshops, hot‑seat calls, and connections rewired my definition of success.

I brought those lessons into Finding Peak and The Ryan Hanley Show—and the feedback was deafening.

Thousands of emails, DMs, and comments said the same thing: I need this, too.

So I built the room I always wanted to hang out in.

Finding Peak

This is why I’ve relaunched Finding Peak on Substack — a newsletter and private membership for people stepping off the path of mediocrity.

A space for people interested in ideas that aren’t always mainstream, but may be the catalyst to exponential growth in their life and business.

A space we can be our driven, unreasonable selves. A space to go deeper than the surface. A space to discuss whatever crazy goals, dreams, and visions we have for our lives…

There are two ways to join:

• A Free Membership with one weekly essay that shares ideas, tactics, and insights to create unreasonable outcomes in life and business.

• A Paid Membership that includes member-only essays, access to the comment section of each essay, and my private Substack chat where I drop behind-the-scenes thoughts, share ideas, and host member workshops.

Here’s everything that’s inside:

One weekly essay (Free Membership)

Each week, you’ll receive one essay that will help you create unreasonable outcomes in work and life.

Meaningful discussions (Paid Membership)

At the end of every essay is a members-only comments section. I’ll be there regularly, reading and replying thoughtfully to member comments.

Private Substack Chat (Paid Membership)

Paid members also gain access to my Substack Chat, a private chat group where I’ll share behind-the-scenes content, drop new ideas, and answer member questions.

Exclusive Workshops (Paid Membership)

High-value sessions that break down in detail the core concepts behind creating exceptional outcomes in our work and life (with occasional special guests).

Why Now?

1. Front‑Row Seat to the AI Gold Rush.

   1. As co‑founder and Chief Growth Officer at Linqura, I’m knee‑deep in fundraising rounds, product sprints, and enterprise pilots that weaponize AI in the real world. Every lesson I share is ripped straight from today’s battle log.

2. The Window to Exponential Growth is Wide Open.

   1. We’re living through the cheapest, fastest distribution of intelligence in human history. Those who master GPT‑level tools, data pipelines, and autonomous workflows now will compound an advantage for the next decade. Hesitate, and you’ll be stuck competing on price.

3. I’ve Already Run the Miles You’re About to Start.

   1. From launching and exiting Rogue Risk, to producing a Top‑150 podcast, to coaching dozens of founders, I’ve worn every operator hat—seller, fundraiser, builder. The scars and shortcuts come bundled with your membership.

4. Founding‑Member Leverage.

   1. The first paid‑only essay drops Monday, June 9. Early members shape the curriculum, vote on workshop topics, and lock in the launch price forever.

Pick your lane—free or paid—and let’s build lives that crush mediocrity.

If you choose free, do nothing, you’re all good.
