FREEDOM FRIDAY: Are you blocked by this invisible force? | Curt Mercadante
It's easy to look only to the visible — the material — when we seek to upgrade our health, our relationships, and our prosperity.

Amassing wealth in today’s crazy world | Mike Johnson
Mike Johson joins us for a discussion on how to amass wealth in our fast-changing, crazy, kooky world.
This episode taken from a longer workshop in our Freedom Circle Mens’ Community: https://www.freedommedianetwork.com/freedom-circle
Mike Johnson was one of the most entertaining, educational writers on LinkedIn until he was removed from the platform for sharing actual data about C*V*D, the economy, and the world today.
He is the most downloaded guest in the history of my podcast.
Mike was a reporter-turned-entrepreneur who made money and lost it all — then engaged in a series of entrepreneurial ventures that allowed him to retire early as a multi-millionaire.
My favorite story -- how he turned a folding chair into a half-million-dollar business in the middle of Cody, Wyoming.

FREEDOM FRIDAY: Is this as good as it gets? | Curt Mercadante
Are you a man who wakes up each morning with either a general feeling of anxiety…
Or specific anxiety related to the goings-on of the day ahead of you?
Someone who wishes your days could be in a state of effortless flow instead of feeling like you're intentionally plodding along day after day?
A dad who has either a soft or hard underlay of discontent, consistently feeling like there's "something better out there" or asking yourself, "is this as good as it gets?"
A man who simply isn't excited at the notion of "holding on" and waiting until you can tap your 401k to finally "start living"?
If your answer to any of the above is "yes" — know that what you're feeling is common. You shouldn't feel guilt or shame...
But know that you do not have to settle for feeling this way.

FREEDOM FRIDAY: Effortlessly spreading like weeds and water
Those weeds in your yard might frustrate you, but there’s a whole helluva lot you can learn from them in terms of effortless flow.
On this podcast previously, we’ve discussed the power of water and what H2O can teach us about getting in a state of Wu-Wei (effortless flow).
This week on my podcast, I interviewed marketing legend Stu Heinecke, author of the new book, Grow Your Business Like a Weed. As Stu outlined the various ways we can learn about growth from weeds, I couldn’t help but think that weeds behave an awful lot like water.

Don’t tell your dreams to the scarcity pimps | Curt Mercadante
“Don’t tell your dreams to small-minded people."
That quote from Steve Harvey is so spot-on and the reason that so many people get infected with what I call the “Scarcity Virus.”
The small-minded people he speaks of are the “Scarcity Pimps” in our lives.
Those people who tell us to “play it safe” or “be practical” at all costs.
Those people who, when they see others taste success, react with something like, “must be nice” or “some people just have too much money."
When these “pimps” are people in our family or network of friends or colleagues, it’s easy to get infected with their scarcity virus, succumbing to the doubt these people cast on our dreams, goals, and aspirations.
It’s important to remember that how the Scarcity Pimps react says so much more about their mindset than about your dreams.

Why you should choose your salt wisely | Matt Roeske - Cultivate Elevate
"I think we really need to pay attention to our salt. If you ever see the modern salt, table salt, or any of that steer clear of any type of salt like that, reason being is that salt is bleached. They use different chlorides, they use bromides, they put fluoride in it, which is just crazy. They also put talc, which is a form of asbestos." — Matt Roeske, Cultivate Elevate

It begins with an affirmation of internal reality, that I am not powerful because I happen to have the president that I want. I am not powerful because it happens to be the case that my circumstances agree with me.

Be the creative force in your own life
What does freedom mean to T.K. Coleman, director of entrepreneurial education at FEE and the host of the "Revolution of One" YouTube series?
"Recognizing that I have the permission and the power to be the predominant creative fore in my own life," he said. "It's understanding that power does not begin with a discussion of external realities. It begins with an affirmation of internal reality. That I am not powerful because I happen to have a president that I want. I am not powerful because it happens to be the case that my circumstances agree with me.
"I am powerful because I choose to be a causative force in my own experience."

I just got to stay busy, I just got to be moving.’ And that's not the point, the point is to get you the net result. What is the end game? Why are we doing this? What picture have we painted?

Love is stronger than hate
Curt Mercadante interviews Chris Singleton, former pro baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization, inspirational speaker, who helped heal a city after his mother was one of nine people gunned down at Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, SC in 2015.
“I think in situations like what happened to me, it was like, if this happens to you and your family in a church, you can think two ways: You can think there's no way there's a God if this happens, or you can say, God, I don't know how this happened, but I need you to get me through it. I put everything I had into God, and said, ‘Hey, I need help. Can you push me through this?’ And, that's when I would say the forgiveness came.”
