What happens when a coach who has spent 17 years connecting with people one-on-one suddenly has to speak into a camera and trust that somebody is listening?

Ryan Weiss joins Adam Montiel for a deeply personal conversation about the creation of Waking Up with Ryan, his new weekday podcast from iHeartPodcasts and The Lighthouse. Each concise episode offers one idea, music, and a guided practice designed to help listeners pause before the demands of the day begin. Rather than giving people more inspiration to consume, Ryan wants to create a daily ritual they can actually feel, practice, and carry with them.

Ryan shares why his confidence disappeared the first time he sat alone in the recording studio, how picturing one person on the other side of the camera helped him find his voice, and why speaking directly to one human being can ultimately reach everyone. He and Adam explore the contradiction of building a demanding daily media operation while teaching people to slow down, release control, and stop outrunning themselves.

Adam also opens up about feeling stuck in his own body while preparing for his wedding. Ryan responds with a powerful reminder that self-improvement does not have to begin with self-rejection. His invitation is simple: acknowledge reality, remember that you are already worthy of love and belonging, and become willing to be shown the next step instead of believing you must solve everything alone.

Ryan’s path has included performing in Wicked, working behind the scenes in entertainment, and building a coaching practice centered on emotional intelligence, relationships, spirituality, and personal transformation. Now, with Waking Up with Ryan, he is turning years of private work into an accessible public practice, one morning and one listener at a time.
