A Man's freedom is Earned Daily (Do Not Play By The Rules)

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:08]Man's freedom is earned daily.

[00:00:13]You know, I used to have this idea that freedom was a man's birthright. A part of me does believe that, but with the current perspective that I have now, you can sit here and choose to believe that, which is a nice way of thinking about things. You know, freedom is is a man's birthright. Freedom is a human's birthright.

[00:00:35]I like that idea.

[00:00:37]But you and I both know, brother, nobody's going to hand you [ __ ] in this life at all.

[00:00:43]You got to work for it. We're not inherently born with value. We know this by now as men.

[00:00:50]I would also hope that you knew that life is a scam.

[00:00:57]Many things are designed to keep us trapped playing in the game.

[00:01:02]Playing in a system that ultimately doesn't serve you if you're playing fair.

[00:01:09]And what I mean by that is a lot of people that you respect, that you admire, they have certain advantages that you don't. Whether this be they're connected socially and somebody gave them a connection to open up a door for them.

[00:01:27]Whether this be they were born in a first world country. Whether this be blase blase. We all have some type of talent and gift that we can exploit.

[00:01:37]But you're going to have to earn your freedom daily as a man.

[00:01:41]And what's funny, right, is we hear the we hear the saying all the time that it's harder to come across a man that is physically lean than it is to become a millionaire.

[00:01:51]That may be true.

[00:01:53]I would take a step further and say it's even more rare to come across a free modern-day Renaissance man than it is to come across a millionaire, right? Or to come across somebody who's lean.

[00:02:03]Cuz even the millionaire, how many guys are millionaires but they're stuck?

[00:02:07]Stuck at their office, believe it or not. Or stuck in a situation, or stuck mentally, or unhappy, or unfulfilled, even though they have lots of money.

[00:02:16]Even though they have lots of money.

[00:02:19]To truly be free, fellas, you're going to have to master all five pillars, what I call all five pillars of the modern-day Renaissance man lifestyle.

[00:02:28]You got to master your mind. You got to master your health [snorts] holistically. A man has to know how to heal himself.

[00:02:33]You have to figure out what your purpose is, which by the way, your purpose evolves. I don't necessarily think that we have a purpose. I think that and I've mentioned this in other videos, it's a man's job to go as far as his eye can see, and once you get there, you appreciate it, and then you move on to the next thing to keep discovering yourself and expressing more facets of yourself.

[00:02:54]I also believe that it's a man's job to do shadow work and to heal his childhood traumas so that he can move more congruently as an adult.

[00:03:04]I believe that it's our job to take care of all of these different facets, as well as intimacy.

[00:03:10]You have to be sexually confident and free in your sexuality as a man. There's so many guys who are millionaires, but sexually they still struggle with women.

[00:03:20]Or they're in a sexless marriage.

[00:03:23]Or they trick.

[00:03:26]Or whatever it is.

[00:03:27]You have to own your sexuality as a man.

[00:03:30]So, I believe that the only way to truly have freedom is by mastering all these facets of yourself. It's not just the money, obviously, but spiritually as a man, too.

[00:03:40]And this [ __ ] is earned every single day.

[00:03:43]Nobody's going to tell you how to master these five different pillars.

[00:03:49]You got to learn how to do it yourself.

[00:03:52]Even if you hire a coach, somebody's just going to give you a system, but you got to put in the effort.

[00:03:57]I'll give the analogy, right? I have a a Chinese mentor.

[00:04:03]I study Mandarin four times a week. I've got a martial arts coach as well. I study martial arts.

[00:04:10]Just cuz I pay my coach money does not mean that I'm going to nail my spinning back kick or that I'm not going to get [ __ ] up.

[00:04:18]Just cuz I'm paying my coach doesn't mean that I'm going to be able to defend myself. No, my coach is going to put me in position to succeed.

[00:04:27]He's going to fix my technique, right? He's He's going to be tough on me when I'm [ __ ] up and tell me, "Dud, keep your guard up. I don't give a [ __ ] how tired you are, right?" My Chinese professor is going to tell me, "No, dud, it's this tone. You have to say this way cuz if you're not saying it this way, you're not speaking correctly."

[00:04:46]And so, there's a certain way that you have to do things.

[00:04:51]And that's earned daily through effort and through consistency.

[00:04:55]Anything worth having is not going to be sexy.

[00:04:58]A lot of us get caught up in admiring other people online, which is a form of cucking, by the way.

[00:05:04]You're living through other men having these great experiences that they've created. And don't get me wrong, I love being inspired and watching vlogs and all all that [ __ ] But you got to get more active.

[00:05:17]I had a friend other day tell me, "Dud, enough researching AI.

[00:05:21]Go out and build shit."

[00:05:23]I got a friend who just built this AI company, man. He said, "Dud, this problem that you're dealing with right now, why don't you just package it up and build it out yourself?"

[00:05:33]As men, we're builders.

[00:05:35]You're going to have to build the exact life that you want.

[00:05:38]Which we all know. Every man intuitively knows that.

[00:05:43]It's not like no disrespect to women, it's not like you can just lay on your back and take dick and ride the promised land, right?

[00:05:52]I know we have a lot of successful ladies that watch me. I'm not talking about you. The exception isn't the rule.

[00:05:58]What I'm saying is you're going to have to earn your value in the marketplace with everything. For you to be able to re- reproduce, for you to be able to have a certain level of freedom, for you to even be able to have the certain a certain level of self-expression.

[00:06:13]Guys, I'm in the middle of a [ __ ] jungle right now.

[00:06:17]I wanted to get away from the city and and get away from the chaos. And there's like wild animals, parrots.

[00:06:23]I'm in the middle of a jungle in in South America, man.

[00:06:26]I'm in a cabin.

[00:06:28]And uh it's my birthday.

[00:06:31]And I really wanted to come unwind, detach, and some tranquility.

[00:06:38]And one of the the things that I've always recognized about myself is that I need ample time to be able to ponder as a man and just process things.

[00:06:50]We cannot always be so connected or focused on what other people are doing.

[00:06:56]You have to be able to spend time with yourself and actually process how well are you doing in your life?

[00:07:04]Not just financially, but across these five pillars I told you.

[00:07:08]The intimacy sector, how are you doing?

[00:07:10]Do you feel that you're able to express yourself sexually with your current woman? Are you hiding certain parts of yourself to your woman? You You'd be amazed at how many guys are laying next to a woman they've been with for years and they're not fully being themselves.

[00:07:23]If you think for one second that's not going to carry over into how you move as a businessman, you're fooling yourself. Everything is interconnected.

[00:07:33]If you don't have a respectable physique, this is something that I struggled with for a while cuz I like cookies. I like to eat, you know, junk food on the weekends.

[00:07:44]Recently, I've been really taking my body a lot more seriously.

[00:07:48]I had a shoulder injury I was dealing with for 5 years. I decided to experiment with peptides and heal my shoulder.

[00:07:57]Right?

[00:08:00]I decided to be a little bit more strict with what I'm eating.

[00:08:05]So So, I had to tell my girl, "Look, we can't we can't do cookies every Friday. I know it's I know we have a movie night once a week, but we can't do that [ __ ] because I got goals.

[00:08:18]Right? How do you lead your woman?

[00:08:21]Do you know when to be firm? Do you know when to be fluid?

[00:08:24]Do you understand how to lead her so that not only does she grow, but you're able to leverage her sexual energy and magnify what you're doing.

[00:08:33]I made a video the other day talking a little bit about how to leverage your woman's sexual energy.

[00:08:38]These are all facets of our lives as men that it would behoove us to really understand so that you can have a rich life.

[00:08:47]Being rich is so much more than money. I can't tell you how many cornballs have money.

[00:08:53]The money is not what's going to make the man. Money gives you freedom like Like, yeah, I'm able to come to this cabin in the woods and have a great experience with my woman right now because of money.

[00:09:11]We need money. Yes.

[00:09:13]But what you need more is integration.

[00:09:16]What you need more is to figure out who you are.

[00:09:20]But figuring who you are is one thing.

[00:09:23]Doing the boring work every single day so that you can have a better life, so that the people around you can be blessed by you doing the monotonous work is what it's really about. The same way that most guys will never be lean, most guys will never be free.

[00:09:37]And so they choose to remain where they're comfortable. They choose to play life by the rules.

[00:09:46]They choose to partake in being scammed every day.

[00:09:49]You know how many guys are in a bad contract right now?

[00:09:52]Just because they they decided to sign their name on the dotted line, whether physically or emotionally or spiritually when they didn't believe in themselves.

[00:10:01]There's guys that are still with a woman right now that doesn't respect them.

[00:10:05]Because they don't think that they can do better or they fear losing their [ __ ] or they fear losing their children. I get it.

[00:10:14]But as a man you the the beauty of being a man is that you can always reinvent yourself.

[00:10:19]You can always restart.

[00:10:21]Whether you get a divorce and it's messy whether you lose everything. I've lost everything multiple times. I've been down on my ass as a grown man multiple times.

[00:10:31]You can always reinvent yourself. But you have to have that conviction. You have to have that passion. And you got to have that self-trust to know that you're going to do whatever it takes.

[00:10:39]A lot of guys don't have self-trust. A lot of grown men don't have self-trust.

[00:10:44]And how can you tell that a grown man doesn't have self-trust? Well have you been stuck in the cycle for the last 3 years?

[00:10:50]Has you Have you had a a cap financially for any period of time?

[00:10:57]Are you unfulfilled sexually?

[00:10:59]Spiritually, do you feel like something is lacking? Do you feel like you're not fully expressing who you are as a man?

[00:11:04]Do you feel like you're not really living the rich life, the fulfilled life that you could?

[00:11:11]You don't trust yourself.

[00:11:12]That's why most of you guys don't take risk. Cuz you don't trust yourself.

[00:11:17]You're too worried about failing.

[00:11:18]Bro, nobody's getting out of this [ __ ] alive.

[00:11:22]You might as well fail forward. What's the difference between somebody who's successful and somebody who's objectively not successful?

[00:11:30]The successful person has just failed more.

[00:11:32]They failed their way to success.

[00:11:35]I have a long way to go myself just in terms of the standards that I have for my life.

[00:11:43]But when I look at my life, I've objectively gotten better over the years, so I can respect myself. When I When I lay my head at night, I can say, "Dad, good job. Tomorrow, we're going to go harder." But I also know when to take a step back and relax because I've earned it.

[00:12:00]Are you able to manage your energy as a man?

[00:12:05]Do you know how to get the best performance out of yourself?

[00:12:08]When to kind of take the gas off the pedal a little bit to recover, and then when to go full throttle?

[00:12:13]How to truly lead all facets of your life as a man?

[00:12:17]This [ __ ] is earned, not given.

[00:12:20]It's earned.

[00:12:22]And these are inputs that you're going to have to do forever.

[00:12:26]The work never ends, which you can learn how to enjoy the work.

[00:12:32]And enjoy having fun.

[00:12:34]Because most of you guys, you have the ambition.

[00:12:38]Just like me, I have a lot of ambition.

[00:12:40]I've never lacked drive.

[00:12:41]But the worst thing a man can do is to be rigid with his ambition.

[00:12:46]Being stuck in one way thinking that this is the only way to get to where I want to get to. Man, you know how many detours I've took? How many things I've tried?

[00:12:56]There's more than one way to get what you want out of this life, fellas. You got to stop playing by the rules. You're going to have to put in these daily inputs and keep yourself dynamic, keep yourself versatile, keep yourself living as a Renaissance man. You got to keep learning skills.

[00:13:15]Because the second that you put yourself in a box and you think that there's only one way, you've lost the game.

[00:13:23]Never think that there's only one way to get what you want.

[00:13:27]You can admire people and see what they're doing, but you have to make it applicable to your life.

[00:13:33]Whatever that looks like for you.

[00:13:36]For me, I like certain freedoms that most people don't care about.

[00:13:41]I like freedom of mobility.

[00:13:44]Some people care don't care about that.

[00:13:45]Some people just want to stay in the same country, the same city. Some people just want to be on a farm with their family and and that's fantastic. For me, I like my goal has always been multiple passports, multiple visas, learning multiple languages, being able to connect with different people, and seeing how far I can grow myself.

[00:14:06]How much can I grow as a man? What's possible for me?

[00:14:10]That requires a [ __ ] ton of work cuz that's not the norm.

[00:14:13]Well, I would argue everybody watching this video right now, you want something that's not considered the norm.

[00:14:20]So, what do you think that's going to require? It's going to require you to do things that's not normal every single day.

[00:14:28]One of the things that I will speak about is how to manipulate yourself to get the best performance.

[00:14:33]You know, I don't always want to work hard. Work hard like working hard sucks. There's days where like the best you can do is give 60%.

[00:14:43]There's days where the best you can do is give 20% because you're so drained.

[00:14:47]But like I was telling them one of my clients who who I had a call with yesterday, as long as you can take an action to get you towards your life script that you've written for yourself, my brother, you're winning.

[00:15:01]Chill the [ __ ] out. Get that daily input, and enjoy your life.

[00:15:12]So fellas, that's the video, man. I'm not sure who who needed to hear this, but um a man's freedom is it's earned.

[00:15:23]Yes, as as human beings freedom is our birthright, right?

[00:15:29]On a on a energetic level, but to be honest, if that were to be fully true, we would be able to just cross into any border without having to having to need a visa or passport. We'd be able to do whatever the [ __ ] that we want to do.

[00:15:46]You're not able to do whatever the [ __ ] you want to do in this life until you have money.

[00:15:52]But besides the money, it's the person who you have to become to get the money.

[00:15:56]Until you become a true freeman in your mind, in your spirit, a righteous person, it's not until you are able to transcend yourself continuously that you really become free. This [ __ ] is deeper than money, is deeper than sex, is deeper than any primitive desire that we have.

[00:16:16]This [ __ ] is about true self-actualization, true transcendence.

[00:16:21]And when you think about that, it's easy to understand why your freedom is earned daily. Salute.
