Freedom Entrepreneur Podcast | Online Business Tips, Business System Strategy, Marketing Training, Entrepreneur Mindset

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come disguised as detours. A year ago, Lindsay was all-in on a solar company—building a membership, launching a YouTube channel, hiring team members, managing inventory. The podcast sat on the back burner. Her personal coaching business was paused. She was intensely focused on what seemed like the right path forward. Then May happened. Her business partner's fat...

Sometimes the posts you're most embarrassed about are the ones that blow up.

Most entrepreneurs start their business for one reason: Freedom. Freedom to spend more time with their kids. Freedom to build wealth. Freedom to design a life they actually want to live. But somewhere along the way, the business becomes a mistress. It sits in the corner, quietly demanding attention while your family waits for scraps of your time and energy. Chaz Wolfe refused to let that happen. R...

Here's the truth most people don't realize: The skill you're doing at your job for $20-30/hour? Other businesses will pay you 2-3X that as a freelancer. I learned this the hard way.

But after surviving the 1993 World Trade Center bombing—and then watching 9/11 unfold while on maternity leave—she knew she couldn't go back.

Today, Scrub Daddy has done over $670 MILLION in sales—making it the most successful Shar...

In this episode, I'm breaking down how to build a SYSTEM that consistently drives traffic to your community—without th...

Jerry Brazie grew up in abject poverty. Six kids under five years old. No washer. No dryer. A mother who slept every other day for a decade. By 14, Jerry was stealing food with his little brother—secret pockets in their coats, stashing Snickers bars just to survive. At 17, he was living with hookers and heroin addicts in a $25-a-week flophouse. Most people would've stayed stuck. But at 14 years ol...

You built the group. Maybe you even have members. But no one's engaging. And it's exhausting.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned from the BEST groups I've ever been part of—and what made them work. Her...

Kalen Cotto lost everything. Her marriage ended. Her clients disappeared. Her business name didn't make sense anymore. She was a single mom with a 3-year-old, waiting tables in the morning and doing client work at night—just trying to keep the lights on. Most people would've quit. But Kalen didn't. She rebuilt. Twice. Today, she's a fractional CMO, founder of KMC Digital, and author of  The R...
