In this compelling episode of Paradyme Shift, host Ryan Garland sits down with longtime friend, collaborator, and sponsor Ryan Busnardo — an entrepreneur whose life’s work fuses legacy, innovation, and the art of building dreams into reality.

From a multi-generational lineage of machinists and metallurgists, Busnardo's journey spans selling cars, owning dealerships, dominating off-road racing, and ultimately creating Premier Manufacturing Group (PMG) — a 110,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Lake Havasu City, AZ. His company specializes in precision steel fabrication, aerospace-grade components, architectural steel, and the world’s strongest custom doors.

The conversation dives deep into:

• Family legacy – From his grandfather’s machine shop to his father’s groundbreaking nuclear waste containment designs.
• Entrepreneurship & evolution – How off-road racing shops became a robotics-driven steel powerhouse.
• Partnership with Paradyme – Manufacturing all structural steel for the Barn Caves project and the Family Office Society HQ.
• Design and efficiency – How steel kit construction cuts build time, reduces costs, and maintains unmatched quality.
• Personal resilience – Navigating a high-risk pregnancy scare with a happy outcome.
• Vision for the future – The power of vetted networks, marketing, and private equity education to grow businesses.

This episode is a masterclass in vision, execution, and trust — a story about building not only structures, but relationships, reputations, and enduring impact.
