On this episode of 360 Success Podcast, Dr. Ryan Knight dives into a hard truth—problems are unavoidable, but how we handle them defines our success. Drawing inspiration from Netflix co-founder Mark Randolph’s quote, “I never fall in love with ideas; I always fall in love with the problem,” this episode challenges the way entrepreneurs, business leaders, and high achievers think about problem-solving.
Too often, people get trapped in an endless cycle of ideas without ever executing. Fear of failure, resistance to confrontation, and the comfort of inaction keep many from taking bold steps forward. But as Dr. Knight emphasizes, faith without works is dead—action is the key to turning problems into opportunities.
With compelling real-world insights, this episode explores why avoiding problems only leads to stagnation and how embracing challenges can open doors to growth, innovation, and success. Whether in business, leadership, or personal development, the ones who step forward and confront their problems are the ones who win.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Ideas don’t create success—execution does.
✔ Fear of failure and confrontation hold people back from taking action.
✔ Avoiding problems leads to stagnation; solving them fuels growth.
✔ Success comes from consistently testing and refining ideas.
✔ Leaders step up when others step aside—action separates doers from dreamers.
🔥 Stop waiting. Start doing. What’s one idea you’ve been sitting on? Take action today—because success is on the other side of the problems you refuse to face.
Listen now, and don’t forget to share this episode with someone who needs it!
“Faith without action is dead—so is a business built on ideas without execution.” - Dr. Ryan Knight
