12 Questions That Will Transform Your Career & Routine with Ryan Yockey – Part I
In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca sits down with Ryan Yockey, founder of Growth Code and repeat VP of Engineering, who helped scale multiple companies past $1 billion. Ryan has over 125,000 LinkedIn followers and a unique approach to building an audience, income, and impact while being a present father to three kids.
Ryan discusses his approach to developing routines and the root cause framework that transformed his career, explaining why most professionals get stuck optimizing the wrong metrics instead of asking deeper questions about what they're really trying to solve. He breaks down his "12 questions that changed my career," including game-changers like "Is this role helping me grow or just keeping me busy?" and "What am I tolerating right now that I shouldn't be?"
The conversation explores how Ryan applies first-principles thinking to business strategy, using examples from The Farmer's Dog, where the real goal isn't customer acquisition, it's making dogs healthier. This shift from vanity metrics to core mission creates both better outcomes and sustainable growth.
Ryan also opens up about his personal framework for being present with his family while maintaining high performance at work. He shares his routine that includes workouts, journaling, and reflection time, explaining how intentional scheduling allows him to be fully present during school drop-offs and family time without work stress looming overhead.
