Ryan Stewman was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is the author of the book "Hardcore Closer" in which he documented his journey through a very difficult life, then turned it all around and created several very successful businesses.

We talked about how he came up with his brand Hardcore Closer, and how difficult it is to be one of the first people to step into the social media consulting field when no one knew what it was yet.

In addition, we discussed the power of being authentic in business, and how that actually helps you attract the crowd you are meant to be with. We also discussed his Hardcore Closer blog and how he attracted such a huge following. Ryan also discusses his new venture called Clyxo which is a consolidated place for people to find all of your social media profiles at once for free.

Finally, we also discussed Break Free Academy and his online community Sales Talk For Sales Pros, which is currently one of the more popular Facebook groups going.  You can download and subscribe to Success Profiles Radio on iTunes for free.
