Freedom Is A Choice: So choose wisely…
Welcome to the Freedom By Choice Podcast with your one and only hoste Martin. This podcast is reserved for freedom aficionados and entrepreneurs looking to create the lifestyle of their dreams.
In this podcast you will find all the support and answers you need to start, grow and scale a business that gives you the freedom you deserve.
I have compressed years of trials and errors, into easy to consume episodes, to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be.
I finished watching a documentary that I started yesterday. And this documentary is about a former NBA player, called Penny Hardaway, and he used to play for the Orlando Magic.
So throughout his career, because he was that big, he was able to sign a huge contract and stuff. So the guy made like more than 100 million dollars, something like that. OK, so he was set for life. Well, you never know with athletes, but I think he was careful enough.
One of his childhood friends with whom he used to play basketball when he was, I don't know, 15 or something like that, called him one day. The guy was in the hospital. So he goes there and he realizes that his buddy is in the hospital undergoing chemo. He was really sick and stuff. And he at his lowest.
And he said, look, I'm coaching this basketball team with these kids from the town where we used to play together, where we're from. I'm in charge of these kids, they're life and making sure that they go home safely, that they don't end up in gangs.
I'm teaching them the kind of like discipline and all the values that you can get through basketball and stuff and playing together, sticking up for one another and all that kind of stuff. And these kids were everything to him, right?
And so, yes, he said, look, do you mind, you know, because I'll be a little bit weak and stuff. Do you mind coming like tomorrow and helping me out with the training and stuff?
So he went there, you know, Penny went there and met the kids and stuff, and he knew that his friend didn't have much time to live and he really wanted to do this. And so, you know, Penny, who actually I mean, the guy made more like one hundred million dollars, right. He left everything else and he focused on these kids.
So he was the assistant coach and, you know, they were coaching together for a middle school. Can you imagine this? And then his friend, I think in 2015 or something like that, his friend died. He passed away because he had colon cancer or something and he passed away.
So he was he was never able to see the end of his dream, which was getting these kids to the national to win the championships in high school. And I mean, Penny was obviously devastated that he died. But he was dedicated to honour his friend and his memory.
He stuck around as the coach of the team just by himself. And he promised that he will fulfil the vision and the dream of his friend.
He made 120 Million dollars and then did THIS.
So long story short, he was able to do it. But, you know, understand, this is someone who didn't need the money. He wasn't doing that for the money. He was doing that for the passion and because of his friend. And then you get attached to the kids and everything.
It's a beautiful story, honestly.
But the real commitment and where you see people's character is how much time they actually invest and give to the cause. And it teaches you something, you know, it teaches you something about that person, but it teaches you something about you as well, you know, because I mean, time is you know, it's one of those things that it's gone.
You can't have it back. All right. And this is something that you keep it for yourself, you reserved for yourself, and you can't even imagine how grateful people are and how much good you can do when you devote your time to other people.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do most entrepreneurs do after a big exit?
Roughly half take a long break, lose direction, and return to building within two years. The other half angel invest, write, or start a second company immediately. The smartest move is a forced ninety day pause to redefine what you actually want before money makes the decision for you.
How do successful founders avoid losing motivation after a windfall?
They tie purpose to mastery, mission, or impact rather than money, because money loses urgency once survival is solved. Setting a non financial goal, like teaching, building a community, or solving a public problem, replaces the early hustle drive with a longer term engine.
What separates one hit wonders from serial winners?
Serial winners systematize what worked, document the playbook, and apply the same model to a new market. One hit wonders rely on luck and a single context. After a big win, write a fifty page internal manual covering positioning, sales, and ops, then test the model on a different niche.
How do you keep building after you already have enough money?
Switch the metric from money to leverage, learning, or legacy. Pick a problem that feels worth ten years of effort, even with no payoff. The post wealth founders who stay sharp are the ones who set artificial constraints, like new niche, new geography, or zero use of past brand equity.
Money Does Not Change You, It Reveals You
The story of someone who made a fortune and then did something surprising with it always pulls people in, because everyone secretly wonders who they would become with that much money. I used to think a big number would fix me. It does not. Money is an amplifier, it takes whatever you already are and makes it louder. The generous get more generous, the anxious get more anxious, and the person with no plan just finds bigger ways to be lost. What someone does after the windfall tells you who they were before it.
So stop waiting for the money to make you into the person you want to be, and start becoming that person now, while the stakes are small and the habits are cheap to build. The number magnifies your character, it does not write it. I talk about who I had to become long before the results showed up on the Freedom by Choice podcast and in my own story. For the research, Harvard Business Review has covered how sudden wealth changes behavior, and McKinsey has studied how people and organizations handle sudden scale.
