Wise Beyond My Years
I’m Ian Christianson, a 18-year-old entrepreneur who’s not waiting around for life to happen. I’m on a mission to build my dream lifestyle, and the best way I know how is by learning directly from the people who’ve done it—those who’ve built empires, conquered setbacks, and turned their vision into reality.
This podcast isn’t about sugarcoating success. It’s about real conversations with people who’ve faced the same struggles we all do and found a way through. It’s about taking their lessons and applying them, step by step, to our own journeys.
If you’re someone who’s ready to take control, escape the average, and start creating a life on your terms, this podcast is for you. I’m not here to inspire you; I’m here to share the playbook so we can all level up together, and build a life worth living.
Wise Beyond My Years
You Don’t Need Permission, You Just Need to Start
Welcome to the relaunch of Wise Beyond My Years, the podcast for ambitious creators, entrepreneurs, and young builders who refuse to settle for average.
In this kickoff episode, I’m sharing 17 mindset shifts that have radically changed how I approach growth, success, and building a life on my terms. These are the hard truths and reframes I wish I heard earlier—especially when I felt stuck, lost, or unsure where to start.
If you're chasing personal growth, time freedom, or creative independence, this episode is for you.
You'll learn:
- Why success has no rulebook—and how to stop waiting for permission
- How to build real relationships instead of transactional ones
- The difference between ego and confidence (and how to drop the mask)
- Why comparison and procrastination kill your momentum
- How to define success for you—so you stop chasing someone else’s dream
- What to do when motivation fades and doubt creeps in
- How to turn your schedule, energy, and habits into weapons for clarity
This episode is packed with practical advice, inner game rewiring, and the exact mental frameworks that help creators and entrepreneurs stay consistent—even when the results are slow.
Whether you're building a brand, business, or better version of yourself—these lessons will hit.
Hit play, take notes, and let’s start this next chapter strong.
