Freedom Fighter Podcast
At the Freedom Fighters Podcast, we passionately believe in freedom—not just as a concept, but as a calling. We believe that God, our forefathers, and our own choices lay the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. This podcast is our way of exploring what it really means to live free—financially, personally, and spiritually.
Each episode dives into the real stories of people who are fighting for something bigger than themselves. We believe true financial freedom comes from faithfulness, integrity, and the courage to keep going, even when life gets hard. Through honest conversations and powerful lessons, we share the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts that help others pursue freedom on their own terms.
We’re here to grow, to give, and to open doors for others. Because when one of us breaks free, it creates a ripple effect. And we believe that kind of freedom is always worth the fight.

The Mindset That Actually Builds Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The right mindset can turn a lost start into a life you’re proud to lead—and we show you how in this conversation.
We sit down with a first-gen immigrant, Marine veteran, and now independent insurance agency owner to unpack what it really takes to build freedom—personally and professionally. From a small Nebraska town to Afghanistan to launching a relationship-driven brokerage, we get specific about the habits, leadership moves, and systems that actually compound.
You’ll hear how military discipline became “life’s Adderall,” why the independent model is beating the big brands, and how to scale without losing your soul. We get honest about divorces, resets, hiring young talent, and building a team that holds each other accountable at one big sales table—no ivory towers, just real work.
We also pressure-test the future: AI’s role in service businesses, what should be automated (and what never will), and how to protect the human edge—trust, speed, and genuine relationships. Along the way we talk generational progress, immigrant grit, and the quiet power of podcasting to build real partnerships.
📌 Key Topics:
✅ From Marine Corps lessons to leading a civilian team with clarity and trust
✅ Why independent insurance is winning—and the real economics behind it
✅ Turning “big goals” into daily actions with backward planning and accountability
✅ Balancing tradition and innovation so tech speeds you up, not thins you out

✅ Relationships as a strategy: lending, real estate, podcasting, and community
