489: When the Business No Longer Matches the Mission—What Comes Next? What Do You Do When the Mission Changes?
When your business feels like it’s crumbling, what do you do?
Some men cling harder.
Some walk away.
But the rare few — they evolve.
Today’s guest, Ryland Engelhart, is one of those rare few.
He helped build Café Gratitude into a beloved brand, co-founded the global movement Kiss the Ground, produced award-winning films about regeneration, and is now helping create Sovereignty Ranch—a living, breathing example of legacy in action.
But none of that happened without walking away from what no longer served him.
And that’s exactly what today’s conversation is about.
If you’re standing at a crossroads in business, family, or purpose, this conversation will show you how to lead through it.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
🔑 How to exit with clarity—and leave behind what no longer serves you
🧱 How to rebuild with vision, not ego
🔄 How to lead through change—at home, in business, and beyond
🧭 How to turn disruption into direction—aligning your work with your deepest mission
🌳 How to create a legacy rooted in values, not just revenue
Ryland’s story isn’t just about closing restaurants or moving to a farm.
It’s about letting go with courage, leading with integrity, and building something that truly lasts.

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men who are successful in life and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys, when you’re ready to stop just listening to content and want to JOIN the conversations, the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
