What Does Freedom Actually Mean to You?
What Does Freedom Actually Mean to You?
That is one of the questions Lily Patrascu asked me on the Awakened Titans Podcast.
It sounds simple. Most founders cannot answer it.
They say more time, more money, less stress. Those are results, not definitions. Without a clear definition of your own, any business you build will drift toward whatever version of freedom looks most impressive from the outside. Bigger revenue. More press coverage. That is how founders end up with something that looks like success from a distance and feels like a trap from the inside.
I have spent the last few years asking founders that question directly. The same pattern emerges every time. The founders who cannot define their own version of freedom are the ones stuck inside businesses that no longer serve them.
Freedom is not a feeling. It is a design decision.
You have to know what you are building for before you can build it well. That is the mindset piece Lily and I got into on the episode. Not manifestation. Not positive thinking. Just the discipline of being honest about what you actually want, before the business you accidentally build makes that answer for you.
We also got into the Sherpa Method, its nine steps and its three challenges of Grow, Sustain, and Serve. Why most founders build the wrong infrastructure at the wrong time, and how to sequence it so the business becomes stronger with every hire, not more fragile.
Grateful to Lily for the conversation and for asking the question most founders never ask themselves.
The episode is 25 minutes. It is worth the time.
