The Free Speed Podcast

We started Free Speed with two $100 mics on our bed. Now we’re sitting in a studio with 6K cameras. But the part no one sees? The hours of unpaid work, the stress, and the constant “what if this doesn't work out?”In this episode, we talk about the reality of building a self-made brand at 24: the pressure, the burnout, the toll on mental health, and why we keep showing up anyway.Free Speed was never about followers. It’s about impact, community, and proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you think.Follow Free Speed on IG: @thisisfreespeedFollow Tash & Cal on IG: @builtbytash & @calvinfoglerBUILT ON INTENT.

In this episode, we break down how we feel 6 months in after moving to Australia from Canada- what’s surprised us, what’s stretched us, and where we’re at now — from trying (and failing) to find our groove with work, training, and social circles, to navigating the uncomfortable stages of growth.
