We often talk about “getting out of” our comfort zone, and in Curt’s book, he describes “escaping your comfort zone of misery.”

But in some cases, “escaping” this comfort zone means expanding it.

Listen to today’s episode to learn why.

What does the word “freedom” mean to T.K. Coleman, director of entrepreneurial education at the Foundation for Economic Foundation (FEE) and the co-founder and education director at Praxis?

“Recognizing that I have the permission and the power to be the predominant creative force 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 the 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 am powerful because I choose to be an individual who has an impact on his world without asking anyone or anything for permission. I am powerful because it is a state of mind.”

In today’s episode, Curt describes his family’s “Freedom Adventure” -- selling their home and most of their possessions with an indefinite plan to travel through America (and the world).

In today’s episode, Curt Mercadante takes ownership of his past statements discussing mental and physical health as two separate things. There isn’t mental health and physical health - there’s just health. He discusses why and how we can take action starting to day to boost our health.

In today’s episode, Curt Mercadante interviews Anthony Herrera, the Founding Executive Director of Furman Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Furman University.

Curt and Anthony discuss the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in America, and how best to cultivate entrepreneurial ecosystems and thinking in our communities and businesses.

In today’s episode, Curt discusses why getting in a state of flow, rather than simply hustling and grinding, is so key to building a life of freedom and fulfillment.

Curt Mercadante is joined by Jordan Lieberman, Vice President & General Manager of Politics & Public Affairs at a4 Media and advertising, to discuss news, content, and advertising in a data-driven world.

Curt and Jordan discuss how personalized and behaviorally-targeted advertising is influencing society, buying behavior, and politics, and the future of free speech on private social media platforms.

During the past several months, the issue of free speech and censorship on social media platforms has been in the spotlight, whether in the political realm, or regarding the dissemination of information on COVID-19.

But does the first amendment right to freedom of speech apply if the “speech” in question is on a privately-owned platform, such as YouTube or Facebook?

In today’s episode, Curt Mercadante discussed this issue with Jordan Lieberman, a behavioral-advertising expert who serves as vice president and general manager of politics and public affairs at a4 Media.

The most common question Curt asks his guests is, “What does freedom mean to you?” The most important part of that question is, “mean to you.” Because your definition of freedom might be very different from those around you, and you have to be prepared for others to misunderstand and even mock your freedom lifestyle. Keep living it, anyway.
