Ep 5: The Art of Persistence

I started going to the gym in January of 2025. In May I hurt my neck and that was the end of it. I didn't work out again until August. August was when I decided to get my body right for real. And that same month, I sold nothing. Twenty years in sales and I can't remember another month like it. So I'm around 300 pounds, coming off a pinched nerve, scared to lift because I thought I'd break something, sitting in a new opportunity where I had no idea what anybody was talking about. I kept showing up anyway. This episode is about persistence. I reread the persistence chapter of Think and Grow Rich so you don't have to, and I break down the eight factors Napoleon Hill points to, the symptoms that show up when persistence is missing, and the four steps he lays out for building it. Then I get into my own year. The months where nothing moved. The video where I told everybody I was a size 36 when I was nowhere near it. Deciding to focus on one thing when my attention was everywhere. Persistence is a habit you build from the inside. Nobody hands it to you. In this episode: The eight factors of persistence Procrastination, indifference, and wishing instead of willing Why fear of criticism stops more people than failure does The four steps for developing persistence Why the people closest to you often have the most fixed mindset What happened when I stopped splitting my focus The year I showed up with nothing to show for it Mentioned: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Les Brown Jim Rohn The 48 Laws of Power freedpodcast.com Instagram: @freedpodcast Art: @callcentertv Next week: building community as an introvert, and why it's okay that your friends and family don't engage with your art.

Ep 4: The Art of Mental Stability

What happens when the pressure keeps building and you start reacting instead of choosing? In this episode of The Art of Being Freed , Freed talks about the pressures that can push us toward a crash out, including stress, disappointment, uncertainty, heartbreak, and the feeling that too many things are happening at once. Freed shares how he learned that trying to fix everything around him wasn’t enough. At some point, he had to make himself the project. That meant creating protected time, building routines he could come back to, working on his body and mind, and finding constructive ways to release frustration instead of letting it control his response. This episode explores why mental stability doesn’t mean getting rid of every problem. It means building enough stability within yourself that when life gets heavy, you still have something solid to stand on. You’ll also hear Freed talk about the importance of creating anchors in your life, replacing some of the stress with calm, and making sure the ways you cope with pressure add to your character instead of taking away from it. Because crashing out doesn’t always look like completely losing control. Sometimes it starts much earlier, when the pressure begins making your decisions for you. And once you’ve learned how to stabilize yourself, the next challenge is staying with the work when you’re showing up every day and still don’t see the results. Next up: The Art of Persistence.

Ep 3: The Art of Consistency

I got so obsessed with being consistent that it burned me out. When I started this page in 2022 I was told to show up for 35 straight weeks. I did 50. Then videos started popping, I got comfortable, I started repurposing old content, and one day I just stopped. I fell off on purpose. This episode is about what you do after that. I talk about finding an accountability partner when you're an introvert and you've spent years keeping people at a distance, why self integrity is the hard part, how I build habits in two week blocks, and the question that gets me out of bed at 4:30 on my day off. Then I get into my own fall off. I gained the weight back, pinched a nerve in my neck, couldn't draw, couldn't hold a controller right, and told myself I was never working out again. And I'll be straight with you, I still fell off several times over the last twelve months. It has not been a clean run. It's not about the miss, it's about the narrative over time. In this episode: Why chasing consistency can burn you out How to find an accountability partner, even if you're private Why self integrity is where most people lose Building habits in two week blocks How bad do you want it What to do the very first day you don't show up Why your body of work matters more than any single miss freedpodcast.com Instagram: @freedpodcast Art: @callcentertv Next week we get real personal. Some people don't make it past the crash out.

Ep 2: The Art of the Early Riser

I was never a morning person. I slept until the afternoon in the summer, I stayed up late, and I took jobs that let me avoid early shifts. Then my first job in tech sales put me on East Coast hours, 5 AM to 2 PM, and I accidentally built the best routine of my life. Same breakfast every day, gym across the street, two hours to myself before my son got out of daycare. Then a better paying job took it all away, and it took me years to understand what it actually cost me. This episode is not about waking up at 4 AM. It's about finding two hours in your day that belong to you, and protecting them when something better looking comes along. If you're not a morning person but you've thought about it, or you're already doing well and you need one or two tweaks to take you over the top, this one is for you. In this episode: Why protecting your time matters more than what time you wake up What Brown University found about people who keep the weight off The routine I built by accident and lost on purpose Why personal development and professional development are not the same thing The SAVERS method from The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod A two week challenge you can start tomorrow Why the gym became my lab freedpodcast.com Instagram: @freedpodcast Art: @callcentertv Next week: what to do when you hit the wall.

Never Give Up Again: 4 Steps To Develop Persistence

Send us a text Do you find yourself on the brink of giving up on your dreams? Have you already abandoned your goals? If you're nodding in agreement, this episode is tailored just for you. The primary reason most individuals throw in the towel is a lack of persistence, and in this podcast, Freed provides a comprehensive guide on how to cultivate this essential trait. Drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Napoleon Hill as outlined in "Think and Grow Rich," Freed distills the key elements of persistence into four actionable steps. Step 1: Definite Purpose and Burning Desire Napoleon Hill emphasized the importance of having a crystal-clear objective accompanied by an unwavering desire for its realization. In simpler terms, you need a strong, well-defined goal that ignites a fierce passion within you. Many people falter at this initial step because they lack this clarity. Weak goals lead to weak results. To strengthen your persistence, you must first ignite a powerful, burning desire for your objectives. Step 2: A Concrete Plan and Continuous Action Building on the first step, you need more than just a goal; you need a concrete plan. This plan must be executed with continuous, unwavering action. Continuous action means persisting even when faced with setbacks, discouragement, and obstacles. Falling off track is normal, but continuous action is the key to overcoming these challenges. Step 3: An Impenetrable Mindset An essential aspect of persistence is maintaining a mindset that is impervious to negativity. This encompasses shielding yourself against negative influences, including discouragement from friends, family, and acquaintances. The world is filled with naysayers, but you must learn to block out their pessimism. Having a resilient mindset ensures you can persist with confidence, thereby building unwavering faith in your capabilities. Step 4: The Power of Community Step four spotlights the importance of cultivating a supportive community. Find one or more individuals who can encourage you to stick to your plan and purpose. Often, we underestimate the influence of the company we keep. A supportive alliance can make a significant difference when you're on the verge of quitting. Seek individuals who will empower you to follow through with your plans and objectives. This episode is a valuable resource for those seeking to bolster their persistence, an indispensable quality for success. Freed draws upon his personal experiences and insights to deliver a compelling guide that can reignite the fire within you. It's a must-listen for anyone who wants to achieve their goals, especially during challenging times. Tune in for a powerful session on persistence, and embark on a journey to unwavering success.
