The little guy can't win. The system is built for the rich to get richer.All of it is true. None of it matters.Because you can't run in the Victim Olympics and take home a gold medal in wealth. The two activities cancel each other out.In this episode of Finding Peak, I sit down with Chris Sain — self-made multi-millionaire trader, retired at 35, bestselling author, and the leader of one of the largest financial communities in the country. Chris is the millionaire next door. He wears a hat. He drives a used car. He talks plain. And he's spent the last decade teaching everyday people how to actually win in a market designed to shake them out.Inside this conversation:Why your friends might be the single biggest tax on your wealthThe "trick, trap, and frustrate" pattern Wall Street uses on retail investors — and how to spot itWhy you should invest in leaders, not logos (and the two CEOs Chris is betting on right now)The psychology of holding when everyone around you is panic-sellingHow Chris built an empire of 1M+ followers by showing up 7 days a week — wins and lossesIf you're a leader, founder, or operator who's tired of the victim narrative and ready to actually build, this is your playbook.Play it anyway.

Ryan Hanley hosts a conversation that lives at the intersection of ambition and practical reality. Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley is built on the idea that meaningful progress-in business, in personal development, in life-often requires a slightly unreasonable perspective. Each episode delves into the mechanics of power, not as an abstract concept, but as a tangible tool for building something worthwhile. The discussions explore leverage, examining how individuals can amplify their efforts and influence to create disproportionate results. You’ll hear from guests who have applied these principles in diverse fields, dissecting their journeys, their strategic decisions, and the mindsets that allowed them to push beyond conventional limits. This isn't about quick fixes or superficial success stories; it's a deep, often challenging, look at the frameworks that enable exceptional outcomes. The podcast provides a space for nuanced dialogue where ideas from education, self-improvement, and raw business strategy collide. Listeners will find themselves equipped with new ways of thinking about their own goals and the paths to achieve them, all through conversations that are as substantive as they are engaging. Tune in for a regular dose of actionable insight from those who operate at the edge of what's possible.
