The Unplug Podcast

Are women better at business than men, or do both bring different strengths to the table?In Episode 94 of The Unplug Podcast, Freeman and John explore what it really takes to succeed in business, from risk-taking and emotional intelligence to communication, patience, and resilience.Drawing from their experiences with managers, business partners, and employees, they discuss gender differences in leadership, why women remain underrepresented in business ownership, and how different strengths can contribute to business growth.Ultimately, is one gender better at business, or does success depend on the individual, their mindset, and how they use their strengths?🎙️ Welcome to The Unplug Podcast.

On this episode of The Unplug Podcast, Freeman and JP have a conversation about what happens when you achieve the things you spent years chasing… and somehow, you still don't feel different. You don't feel happier. You don't feel more successful. And eventually, you have to ask yourself: what next? We talk about success beyond money, finding purpose, imposter syndrome, helping people change their lives, giving back, and the kind of legacy that goes beyond what sits in your bank account. Because maybe the goal was never just to become successful. Maybe the real question is what you intend to do with that success once you get there. Episode 90 is streaming now on YouTube and Spotify.

On this episode of The Unplugged Podcast, Freeman and JP have an uncomfortable conversation about time, ambition, sacrifice and the life we're actually building.If you knew you only had five years left, what would you stop doing? What would you finally start? And would you genuinely be happy if your life looked exactly the same five years from now?From chasing success and constantly trying to level up, to saying yes too often, putting off personal dreams, making time for family and learning when to choose yourself, this episode gets brutally honest about the things that can quietly steal your life while you're busy trying to improve it.Sometimes the biggest question isn't whether you're successful.It's whether the life you're working so hard to build is actually a life you want to live.Episode 89 is out now.Watch the full episode on YouTube via the link in our bio and listen on Spotify.🎙️ The Unplugged Podcast 🎙 Follow The Unplug Podcast & Our Hosts:Instagram:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.instagram.com/freeman_richardsJP: https://www.instagram.com/johnjppatrickTikTok:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.tiktok.com/@freeman_richardsJP: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejohnjppatrick#theunplugpodcast #yourphoneisstealingyourlife #digitaladdiction #attentioneconomy #selfawareness #mindsetshift #mentalclarity #focus #personaldevelopment #podcast #motivation #phoneaddiction #selfimprovement #dothingsyoudontwanttodo #masteringdiscipline #WhyYouKeepLosing #entrepreneurship #Mindset #successIf You Had 5 Years Left to Live, What Would You Change? EP #089

On this episode of The Unplug Podcast, Freeman and JP get brutally honest about some of the worst business ideas they’ve ever had.

From side hustles that went completely wrong to businesses that lost money, got one of them fired, and taught them lessons they still carry today.

Because entrepreneurship isn’t about having the perfect idea.

It’s about testing, learning, adapting and being willing to admit when something isn’t working.

Sometimes your worst business idea becomes your best business lesson.

On this episode of The Unplug Podcast, Freeman and JP unpack why so many people give up before they ever get the chance to succeed.From unrealistic expectations and the pressure to see results quickly, to learning how to handle failure, stress, uncertainty and setbacks, this episode is about one thing: **staying in the game.**Success rarely happens as quickly as we want it to. Sometimes the answer isn't to quit. Sometimes you need to pivot, learn, adapt and keep moving.We talk about resilience, persistence, business, failure, mentorship and the mindset required to keep going when nothing seems to be working.Because you can't win a game you've already walked away from.🎙️ The Unplug Podcast — Episode 87: Why You Keep Losing🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.If this episode speaks to you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and stay in the game.Time Stamps:00:00 - Persistance and examples of success2:23 - Why Unrealistic expectations cause quitting4:08 - Planning for failure in business5:04 - Pivoting instead of giving up7:52 - building resilience through hardship9:25 - practical advice for staying consistent11:58 - why stopping makes restarting harder13:04 Mindset: stay in the game🎙 Follow The Unplug Podcast & Our Hosts:Instagram:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.instagram.com/freeman_richardsJP: https://www.instagram.com/johnjppatrickTikTok:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.tiktok.com/@freeman_richardsJP: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejohnjppatrick#theunplugpodcast #yourphoneisstealingyourlife #digitaladdiction #attentioneconomy #selfawareness #mindsetshift #mentalclarity #focus #personaldevelopment #podcast #motivation #phoneaddiction #selfimprovement #dothingsyoudontwanttodo #masteringdiscipline #WhyYouKeepLosing #entrepreneurship #Mindset #success
