A short YouTube podcast clip where Josh Trent and a guest discuss what freedom means—distinguishing financial, personal, and philosophical freedom—and argue that financial intelligence and physical health (the body) are foundational drivers that enable other freedoms (wealth, relationships, energy, social network).

There's the financial freedom, there's the personal freedom, and then there's also the philosophical freedom in order for somebody to truly be free, and you've spoken about this quite a bit like there has to be this base layer of financial intelligence, because one could say that they're a free thinker, but if they're in a job they hate, if they're in a relationship they hate, they don't like their body, how free are they? How much of a free thinker are they really, when they haven't addressed, really what we all signed up for here, and that is finance?
Yeah, I think you're right. Surprisingly, the number one thing that usually changes everything else, in my opinion, is your body. If you start working out every single day and lifting heavy things and eating a little bit better, you're going to miraculously get richer, have more fun, have better energy, have better friends, have a better network. It's a total tragedy to me that we have so many people who struggle with health overall, because I think that is the biggest limiter on wealth. Because when you don't feel good, yeah, it's really hard to go out and do the things you need to.
Go close a deal, go have a financial conversation when you're feeling horrible.
