Drawing on both his professional experience and his own journey through addiction and recovery, Ron identified a major gap in how addiction is understood and treated. That insight led him to build The Truth About Addiction, a program grounded in lived experience, compassion, and a strong belief in transformation. Ron also hosts The Truth About Addiction Podcast, continuing the conversation and sharing real stories that help people find a better way forward.In the podcast, Ron shares his story; heroin addiction, prison time, recovery, and the mindset shift that changed everything:“You’re not a bad person trying to get good. You’re a sick person trying to get well.”They unpack why cocaine has become a silent epidemic in the trades, how “functional” addiction hides in plain sight, and why the opposite of addiction isn’t willpower… it’s connection.

    In this episode of Transformation Unlocked, Adrian sits down with Jordan Ryan, from Koda Capital, to unpack how trade business owners can turn today’s profit into tomorrow’s freedom and make work optional.

    If you’re building a plumbing, electrical, HVAC or other trades business and you’re asking, “How do I actually use this money so I don’t have to work forever?”... this one is for you.

    Jordan breaks down wealth creation in simple language: how much you really need, why “65” is a made-up finish line, how to think about super, and what to do before and after a liquidity event when you sell your business.

    In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    -“Work optional” vs retirement

    -How much is enough?

    -The “retirement smile” why your spending is higher at the start of retirement, drops, then rises again with health costs.

    -Superannuation basics for business owners

    -Simple tax-win mindset

    -All-Weather Portfolio 101

    -From accumulation to drawdown

    -Self-managed super funds (SMSFs)

    -The power of money conversations at home

    Episode Highlights

    “Stop thinking about retirement. Start thinking, When do I want work to be optional?”

    How wealthy people tend to talk more about money – and why your friendship circle might be holding back your financial growth.

    The danger of locking 60% of your net worth into a single asset (one property, one fund, one deal) after you sell your business.

    In this episode:

    00:00 Work optional vs retirement

    05:10 How much is enough and finding your freedom number

    16:05 Super and tax for trade business owners

    23:10 All weather investing and diversification

    27:00 Shifting from growing wealth to living off it

    30:45 When an SMSF actually makes sense

    38:15 Money conversations, concentration risk, and avoiding hype
