Always in Pursuit
Brave Enough to Make Life-Changing Decisions with Freddie Bennett
Freddie came from humble beginnings in the United Kingdom, he described his upbringing as not terrible but a difficult one. So naturally as he envisioned his life as an adult, money was the central theme to that vision.
After he graduated college, he sought out employment in the corporate world and immediately felt like an imposter. Regardless, he put his head down and got to work, losing himself in the fast paced and rock-star lifestyle where he finally owned the nice house, BMW, and was able to take lavish trips around the world. A theme emerged though, his secret talent was drinking to excess and people loved him for it. However, he slowly learned people appreciated him for the wrong reasons and he was miserable.
After a series of life changing events; death of his father, loss of his job, and a multi-day bender, he knew something needed to change. His life wasn’t the way he wanted it to be and he knew there wasn’t a good outcome for his life if he continued this way.
After a struggle of kicking his drinking habit, Freddie found himself finishing the world's toughest footrace, The Marathon Des Sables. He also started co-hosting a podcast titled Over the Influence which was in the top 25 podcasts in the world and began writing his book Start at Zero.
In this podcast, Freddie talks about his journey, battles with depression, suicide, and how his decision to stop drinking has changed his life. Freddie believes that what prevents most people from making the needed changes is fear.
This episode is fast paced and Freddie is incredibly transparent in it. It’s a message that only Freddie Bennett can deliver and to quote him: “Be Fucking Bold and go on the Offense.”
