Success Freaks #106 – “Freedom To Be Yourself” w/Special Guest Judah Swilley

by

An important part of freedom is the freedom to be yourself and change yourself for the better.  To do this, you must first discover what you can do to “Be Free to Be You.”

In Success Freaks Episode #106, Mordant & McFall are joined by Judah Swilley as they discuss how we are all free to be ourselves and how, through this freedom, we have all changed through the years.  Listen as they discuss, dissect, and entertain you with personal stories of their failures and what it took to grow from them.  The changes they have gone through since their high school days have a familiar ring to them as you find your own story in their collective and individual journeys.

Take a break from your normal routine of just letting things happen and begin rewriting the story of your life.  With a just a little focused attention, you’ll be amazed at how success-freaky seeds already planted take root and begin to grow and grow and grow until you become the person you were always free to be.

Success Freaks #105 – What Is Freedom?

by

What is freedom? Is it possible that we have too much freedom and is it a bad thing? In this episode, Mordant & McFall chat about what the true meaning of freedom is. Whether it’s the political aspect or your own personal freedoms, what does this word mean? Is it the right to make your own decisions? Is it a lack of restraint? Or is it being able to walk down the street with whomever you want, wearing and saying whatever you want?

So say “I CAN” and take advantage of your freedom. Use that freedom and make the choice to listen to Mordant & McFall discuss the many freedoms we didn’t realize we had. Listen to their personal stories of freedom and decide whether you agree or disagree with what they think freedom is. Go ahead – it’s a free country.

You experience the life you give to others.

As I promised I am writing this article to dig deeper into what I shared in my Youtube video. As I shared, I recently achieved a new level of enjoying life’s experiences. For my wife’s birthday, her mother took us to Medieval Times. It is a castle-shaped restaurant that features an awesome show of jousting, fighting, and general kightly stuff. Google it. This is one of the times I was fortunate to have had a close-minded experience to compare to.

When my wife and I were engaged her family took us to Medieval Times. It is a bit pricey and I felt bad that I could “never afford to do this for us.” So instead of enjoying the show, I saw people sitting in better seats and wanted what they had. I saw many shiny things in the sword shop that I couldn’t afford and had to have them. Side note – I bought my first sword on credit there and regretted it. I totally missed the experience of everything, showed myself to, in the best of terms, make bad decisions, and took away from my wife’s experience.
