The FasterFreedom Show Podcast

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam and Lucas have a mindset-driven conversation about the hidden cost of holding on —to habits, beliefs, strategies, and even old versions of yourself that no longer serve where you’re trying to go. They unpack why real progress and growth often come not from doing more , chasing more deals, or consuming more information—but from saying no to the wrong things and intentionally eliminating negative forces. The guys talk through how fear often disguises itself as logic, why comfort can quietly stall momentum, and what it really takes to let go of outdated identities so you can step into the next level personally and professionally. Then things get fun with a rapid-fire “Keep or Kill” game , where they debate a wide range of topics. Expect honest takes, nuance, and a few strong opinions. They wrap the episode with football talk—reacting to the College Football National Championship and previewing the NFL Conference Championship matchups, breaking down what stood out and what they’re watching as the Super Bowl picture comes into focus. From mindset and personal growth to real estate philosophy to football, this episode blends reflection, clarity, and conversation designed to help you move forward by letting go of what’s holding you back.

In this week’s Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam concludes breaking down his 2026 financial plans and long-term vision—this time diving into his newest company STL Reno, a renovation and rehab business built to support and scale his real estate operations. He walks through how the company started by handling internal rehab projects and gradually expanded to take on outside clients, bringing both new revenue and new complexity. You’ll hear the specific income goals for 2026, why overhead is a major consideration, and how streamlining systems and processes is the key to making the business run efficiently. Sam also explains why the company brought key trades in-house, how that decision creates leverage, and why renovation businesses often show strong top-line revenue while carrying significant expenses. This episode offers a clear, behind-the-scenes look at the realities of building a construction-based company—and how thoughtful planning turns a young operation into a sustainable one.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam and Lucas challenge one of the most common pieces of financial advice out there—that being debt-free is the ultimate goal . They break down why being completely debt-free isn’t the flex most people think it is, especially when it comes at the expense of long-term wealth building. The guys walk through the critical differences between good debt and bad debt , explaining how debt tied to depreciating consumer purchases can hold you back, while debt used to acquire cash-flowing assets can actually accelerate financial freedom. Using real estate as the core example, they explain how leverage works, why it’s been a foundational tool for wealthy investors for decades, and why owning assets that pay off your debt beats eliminating debt at all costs. They also talk through the mindset shift required to move from “debt avoidance” to intentional debt usage , and how this approach allows investors to scale faster, create optionality, and build income streams that outlive the loans attached to them. To wrap things up, Sam and Lucas switch gears and preview the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round , breaking down the matchups, key storylines, and which teams they trust to advance as the postseason heats up. From challenging conventional wisdom to playoff football, this episode blends real estate strategy, financial perspective, and the candid conversations you’ve come to expect from the show.
