The Art of Being Freed is a show about transformation, told by
a man living it.
I'm Freed. Artist, creator, and 20 years in sales and
leadership. I talk about discipline, presence, focus, and
rebuilding your life from the inside out.
Every season is built like a project instead of a week to week
show. One idea, one arc, start to finish.
This is for creators and for anyone ready to change their mind,
their body, and their direction.
New episodes weekly.
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

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
