S4E20: Harnessing Willpower: Lessons from Commando Training to Business Mastery

In this episode of The Freedom Project, I dive into the two types of willpower essential for business success. Drawing from my experience in Royal Marines Commando training, I share the story of a pivotal moment where I learned the limits of forceful willpower and how that lesson carried over into running my own business. Tune in to hear how shifting from brute force to a gentler, more mindful approach to willpower transformed not only my work but also my entire life. If you want to learn how to train both types of willpower, I’ve written a full article on the subject at:  https://www.tomfoxley.me/post/how-to-train-the-2-types-of-willpower-essential-for-your-business-success 

S4E19: The Moment I Chose Craft Over Empire

In this episode of The Freedom Project, I share the story of a pivotal moment with a mentor who told me, “It’s not the best who win, it’s the best known.” On the surface, his philosophy made sense – generate money, work less – but something about it didn’t sit right with me. This realisation led me to abandon the empire-building mindset and focus on what truly matters: the craft. Tune in to hear how this shift brought more clarity, deeper work, and ultimately, more freedom. If you’re curious about the craftsman vs. empire builder path, I’ve written a full article on it at:

Today I am interviewing Mitch Hutchcraft.

An  Adventurer and Wildlife Enthusiast who grew up in Cambridgeshire, and soon developed a passion for the mountains.

At 16, he climbed Kilimanjaro alone,  and at 18 he visited Everest Base Camp.
Mitch studied Zoology joined the Royal Marines and later rode 3000 miles across the Atlantic and cycled 5,000 kilometers across the USA. 

Now, he's on a mission to swim the British Channel, cycle to India, run to Everest, then clime it, all the while supporting veterans and wildlife conservation through SAVSIM.

There's a piece in this podcast, which I cannot wait for you to listen to. It's all about building a catalog of 'Why's'. 

It's really powerful. It's something I've used myself, since.
The way Mitch phrases this concept is incredibly useful.

So, enjoy this conversation with Mitch Hutchcraft.

S4E15: How To Meditate w/ Henry Shukman (The 4 Zones of Meditation)

Welcome back to The Freedom Project Podcast. And after a little bit of a hiatus, we are back and we're off with a bang!
Today, I'm joined by Henry Shukman who is a Poet, Author, and Zen master in the sand Buddhas and lineage. 

 

He is co-founder of the single path meditation app, 'The Way', founder of the Original Love meditation program and Spiritual Director Emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Centre. 

 His most recent books are Original love:The four ins on the path of awakening' and the Zen memoir, 'One Blade of Grass'.

He has taught at Google and Harvard business school, The Institute of American Indian Arts and Oxford Brookes University, and is the author of several award-winning books of poetry and fiction.
His poems have appeared in the New Yorker, Sunday times and Financial Times.
Henry has an MA from Cambridge and an MLitt from St. Andrews. 

Today we discuss a framework you can apply to meditation. I think this makes meditation so much more intentional, so much more deliberate, and from that, so much more effective.

I personally am really looking forward to using this framework to help me become a better meditator and ultimately, a better person too. 

So, enjoy this podcast with the wonderful Henry Shukman.

S4E14: 7 Lessons from 6000 Metres: Extreme Personal Development

Welcome back to the freedom project podcast.

 

Thanks for putting up with the two week absence of podcasts. Things have been a little crazy since I got back from Pakistan.

 

Fair to say, life is full steam ahead. My wife is 17 weeks pregnant, we’re due to move into our first house purchase in 6 days’ time, and during all of that, I went to an uncontactable region of the world & experienced the most incredible times.

 

I said in a podcast a few months back, that at some point, you have to just say “fuck it” and book the trip.

 

The months between then and now, have been crazy. I’ve been forced to grow more than I expected, and in a completely different direction from normal.

 

I’ve learned far more than I bargained for, and I want to pass as much of that on to you as possible. So, in light of that, I am giving you access to a training I put together for my clients in the Adventurepreneur Collective.

 

It’s called 7 lessons from 6000 metres: a guide to personal development. It’s a summary of the most essential lessons I learned.

 

Now, because I want to protect the privacy of the members of the collective, there are some pieces that are edited out. So there may be some pieces you feel are non sequiturs.

 

That being said, you guys are all intelligent and you’ll be able to piece together what is missing.

 

So, here are 7 lessons from 6000 metres.

 

Enjoy
