Hardcore [c]loser Kindle Edition

This isn't some "Rah, Rah" bullshit book that's designed to make you feel good about having a fucked up life. I wrote this book to show those of you out there that are in the struggle, what's possible if you work for it. Nothing in life is free.


Everything costs money or time. Allow me to save you both by reading this book.


Some of the stories you will read in this book will be hard to believe, but they are true nonetheless. I've replayed many of these scenes and scripts in my mind a thousand times, trying to figure out how in the hell things went down the way they did.


At age seven I was adopted by my step dad; at age eight I was put to work by my step dad; at age 17 I dropped out of school; at age 21 I was in prison; at 23 divorced; at 24 I filed for bankruptcy; at 27 I was in federal prison again; at 28 I was divorced a second time; and at 35 divorced a third time.


And that's just the 50,000-foot view. This book will explain it all and how it was all part of a plan from the universe to push me out of my comfort zone and into the hands of everyday winners like you. I wrote this book to show those who are oppressed with their past that it doesn't matter if you can develop skills.


The timelines may not be exact, so just go with the flow and enjoy the story. It's about the big picture, not a timeline of when shit went down. Look at each chapter as its own individual story. When it happened is not really as important as the fact that it did happen.


Join me, as I share my journey and all of the ups and downs it took me on, with you. Oh, and for protection purposes the names of people have been changed.


Also, if you're a cop or government entity, this is all entirely fiction so chill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not too long, decently written, incredibly entertaining

This is the story of THE man - his struggles and his successes. I have followed Ryan for a couple of years now and even after him mentioning bits and pieces of his "coming up" to where he is, this book still shocked me. The best thing about Ryan is he doesn't b!$#% about the things that happened to him. He doesn't play the victim, he is the creator. Reflecting on the stories now, I can name so many people that went through nothing like Ryan but use those situations as excuses for their life. This is a good book for anyone to read. Very entertaining. Read it!

To read where Ryan started and everything he went through to end up where he is now is the true example of what NEVER giving up means!! Ryan Stewman story is so inspirational and being a entrepreneur myself this book very close to home. I have sold drugs to get by and pay the bills and also been homeless In the past with no drivers license and felt depressed, down, & sorry for myself. I can testify first hand, that I stumbled across Ryan on fb and then started listening to his podcast everyday. The day he told his story on Warrior talk radio brought tears to my eyes. Here is this guy who has been through more then me telling his story and look where he is now! If he can do it, so can I and so can anyone else if you want it bad enough. I suggest this book to anyone! If you want to change someone's life, give them this book. Thank you Ryan for sharing your story with all of us!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely must read! Best Biography I've read in years!

Alright, if you read a single biography this year it needs to be this one! Ryan has put pen to paper and put his life in this book! I stayed up way to late to read it last night and all I can is this is way better of a read than any boring book about some rich kid who dropped out of an ivy league college to launch a startup! This is real life, and Ryan's real life!

This is a story of a young man who could have ended up completely different, a statistic of the prison industrial complex and a victim of a drug war,. But it's not it's about a man who decided he had enough of stupid mistakes and got his life together!

I'm serious if you want to read a book about what it's like to screw up time and again, but come out on top because you didn't give up. Read it!

There are very few books I have read in my adult life that have resonated as much as this one. Stewman is brutally honest and come come across as a bit ego centric but he tempers that with the harsh reality that if you put yourself out there to win big it's likely you'll lose more often than hitting those home runs. The takeaway I had from Hardcore (c) Loser was the same one I heard from one of my earliest football coaches that there is no shame in getting knocked down, only in staying down. Ryan got kicked in the groin by life many times and had every reason to make excuses and quit at life. He didn't though. He persevered and is reaping the sweet rewards. Outstanding book.

Read 90 odd pages and I am not impressed. I thought I am gonna learn some stuff about life, but so far I have just got about problems he faced, be it with family, cops, girls or drugs.

**I will update this once I am done.**

EDITED - Love this book. Actually, one sentence at the very end have changed my whole perspective in life! Thank you for the book.

Core message - Dont stop taking action! Keep it separate from other parts of life. And if he can succeed despite his horrid background, most people can.

Buy this book. This mere $10 will be a invaluable investment.

My copy showed up at 1pm EST this last Tuesday and I finished it up around 2am. Great read!

Ryan doesn't pull any punches as he tells the riveting story of his past! He tells you like it is...without apology. A great story of the power of believing in yourself. If you don't ask yourself some serious questions about your own life and the perceived bulls*** that is holding you back, you must have ordered the wrong book.

I would recommend this book to any true sales professional, F&I, LO, closer, grinder or everyday hustler!!

This book has earned a place on my shelf right next to the Zig, Cardone, Kiyosaki, Hopkins and the Johnnie Walker Black!

I've been following Ryan's page for a few years now and I can honestly say that his content is raw and untainted. He's provided the social community with hilarious and inspiring videos and blogs. This book is one that I couldn't put down because it's reminiscent of a action-packed movie. It's great to see the back story of how Ryan became the man he is today. This story proves that even with the obstacles that we are faced with, you too can overcome them and become the person you are destined to be. A true rags to riches story that I will recommend to all of the folks aspiring to become great. Thanks again Ryan Stewman
