So today we're going to talk about our deep desire for freedom and the incredible power you bring into your life with freedom.

So let me ask you a question. What does freedom mean to you? And I'll tell you, when I ask people why they want to get into the multifamily real estate game, the answer I get most often is freedom. Of course, time freedom, money freedom.

You know, all of the super successful people I know,

that's what they go after. Freedom. They don't just go after the money. Now, of course, the money

brings the freedom. So what is freedom? Webster says it's the power or right to act, speak,

or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Now, I'm going to add that it's the right to live as one wants or one wishes without hindrance or restraint. Now I'm going to add that it's the right to live as one

wants or one wishes without hindrance or restraint. So we live in the greatest country on earth,

often defined as the land of the free and of course the home of the brave. Now many countless

people have lost their lives in this country fighting for freedom. Now, these are the heroes that

understand that freedom comes with responsibility. And I'm going to tell you that I believe freedom

is actually a state of mind. I believe that it's actually possible to be free regardless of the

circumstances. Now, I'm not going to say it's easy, but it's absolutely doable. There's a book that

kind of proves it called a man's search for meaning written by a gentleman named Victor Frankl and he was a World War II concentration camp survivor.

And you know, how he was able to change the meaning of his experience to actually have freedom in that a horrific environment is it's extraordinary.

Now one of his quotes that I love is when we're no longer able to change a situation,

we're challenged to change ourselves. And that's it. You know, when life happens to us, it's the

meaning we place on it that affects everything. Now, we find freedom and we have the courage to let go of

who society believes we're supposed to be and really fully embrace what we really are.

It's actually a gift you should give yourself because it's something no one can take away from you.

Now, of course, don't expect everyone to understand your journey.

That's absolutely fine. It's not theirs. It's yours.

Now, let me pose a question to you. Do you remember who you were before your environment
