Not "I figured it out." Not "I've arrived." Not "here are my 7 steps to success." Just… still going.
I'm Ryan Sanderson. Father of two. Entrepreneur. Co-founder and CEO of Knowledge Perk. Chair of the Gravity Center Foundation. Member of EO Charlotte. And the guy behind Not Quite There Yet Guy — a community built for people who are still climbing their respective mountains and honest enough to admit they're not "there" yet.
I started NQTYG during one of the hardest seasons of my life — when I looked successful on paper but was quietly unraveling behind the scenes. When I started being truly honest about the mess, other people showed up and said "me too," or "I thought I was alone in this." That's what this whole thing is built on.
What you'll get here
Some weeks it's entrepreneurship — the raw truth about raising capital, the $120 bet that turned into $900K+, the parts of running a business nobody warns you about. Some weeks it's fatherhood and the impossible balancing act nobody talks about honestly. Some weeks it's just something I saw or felt that I think you need to hear.
No highlight reel. No performance. Just the climb, in real time.
Why subscribe?
Because if you're building something — a business, a family, a life — and you're tired of everyone pretending they have it all together, you'll fit right in here. I read every reply. I write about what you send me. This is a conversation, not a broadcast.
Still going. Always will be.
— Ryan
