Freedom Fighters Podcast: The Illusion of Success – Are You Chasing the Wrong Finish Line?

We’ve all been there: You hit a milestone—graduation, a promotion, a revenue record—only to feel empty instead of exhilarated. Why? Because society’s definition of success is a moving target, and the trophies we chase often leave us trapped in cycles of "never enough." In this raw conversation, we dissect:

📌 Key Topics:

✅ The difference between achievement and fulfillment—why hitting goals can feel hollow

✅ How Elon Musk’s relentless pursuit of Mars exposes the trap of "infinite striving"
✅ Why measuring progress (not just results) keeps you motivated in the long game
✅ The school test that forced us to confront our own biases about success—and how we recalibrated
✅ Practical tools to escape "the gap" between expectations and reality

Here’s the truth: Success isn’t a podium moment—it’s the daily choice to align your metrics with what actually fuels your freedom.

So ask yourself: What am I clinging to because it looks like success, but deep down, it’s holding me back?
