Today, we get to address the complex notion of freedom across its multifaceted spectrum. Drawing from my background in military discipline and entrepreneurial spirit, I'll guide you through the five pivotal levers of freedom: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. We'll explore the foundations laid by physical autonomy, the clarity that comes with mental control, the power of mastering our emotional landscapes, and the transcendent realizations of spiritual enlightenment. Together, we'll dissect the interplay of these elements and how they collectively forge a life unfettered by limitation.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
What does freedom mean to you In an age where that
term gets tossed aroundpolitically often?
Let's boil it down, because youguys know that I'm all about
something that you've heardprinciples that transcend
paradigms.
And there's five principleshere with freedom that transcend
any paradigm.
And for those of you thathaven't been around that don't

(00:56):
know me, my name's ChaseTallison.
I've been an entrepreneur forthe last 10 years.
I've been in the coaching spacesince 2008.
I served four years in theUnited States military and now
my partners and I are rolling upand acquiring home services
businesses.
I have done a lot and I'vefound that there's five levers
to pull to truly affect freedomas we know it.

(01:19):
Those five levers that we'regoing to break open here are
physical, mental, emotional,spiritual and financial.
That last one we're going toleave hanging till we get there
Now.
Physical this is where I started.

(01:40):
This was my bread and butter.
In 2008, I was a gym rat whodecided to get his personal
trainer certification.
After I got out of the Navy,where I was an assistant command
fitness leader, I opened my gymin 2014.
Physical freedom having ahealthy body is great.

(02:02):
That's the internal, that's theus side of it.
Right?
The being able to move our ownbody, having a level of health
that gives us energy throughoutthe day.
And there's the external sideof it, the physical freedom to
go where we please when weplease.
There's other pieces requiredthere if you want to do that in

(02:22):
certain ways.
And having freedom of ourphysical body is likely what a
lot of people think when theythink freedom.
You know, I'm not wearinghandcuffs, I'm not stuck to this
thing that I don't want to bestuck to, and I've seen people
who, oh, I was too tired aftershoveling my driveway so I

(02:46):
couldn't shovel the sidewalk.
That's not freedom, y'all.
That's being tied to the chainsof your own unwellness.
It is absolutely paramount that, if we're going to focus on
levers of freedom, we focus onphysical freedom Because, as
we're going to see, withoutphysical freedom, as without any
of these levers, we don't havetrue freedom.

(03:08):
True freedom only comes when wehone each of these five levers,
and that's physical freedom.
We'll keep this one short, as Ido with these solo shows Mental
freedom.
The easiest way to describe thisis that when we go to sleep at
night, there's not that thingrunning around the back of our

(03:30):
head, because we've cleared that, we've thought about our
thinking and we know what leversare pulling those thoughts.
We know that we're in controlof where we aim our mind, and we
get to aim it wherever we soplease.
That's mental freedom is, byand large, internal.

(03:51):
The external side of mentalfreedom, though, is what we let
in, it's what we see out in theworld and what we choose to
consciously filter into ourawareness, because without that
awareness of what our externalmental state is, well, anything
could come in, and then we'renot in control anymore.

(04:12):
That's not freedom If we'reconstantly ingesting other
people's stories, other people'snarratives, other people's
thoughts, and we haven't trulythought about ours or taken
control of ours.
That's change.
Emotional freedom this one's funOn one level.

(04:35):
Emotional freedom is being ableto put space between your
reaction and your response.
What does that mean?
Well, something comes up and itmakes you oh, but instead of
diving in and giving that kneejerk response, you notice it,
you check it.
You know that feeling in yourgut or that tightness in your

(04:56):
chest or that lump in yourthroat.
You know that emotion ofanxiousness that's actually tied
to a story from way back when,and anybody that's worked with
me has unwound that to the pointthat they have this level of
emotional freedom, which tiesinto giving themselves a higher
level of mental freedom, which,oh, mental emotional freedom now

(05:17):
we can do with as our body, aswe please.
It's almost like these thingsstack on top of each other, guys
.
And that emotional freedom?
Well, when we realize that weare the creator of our emotions,
that we choose whether or notto take offense to something
because, well, you were the onethat decided to pick it up and
take it.
But that's freedom and theseven hermetic principles.

(05:46):
They talk about transcendingthe law of rhythm, that, yeah,
you will still see that youremotions go left to right,
forward and back.
You'll still have good and bad,and you'll be able to
acknowledge it, notice it, checkin with yourself and move on.
And that's a really, reallypowerful way to explain what

(06:09):
we're talking about right here.
You'll still have these thingscome up.
You won't not ever get angry.
However, instead of sitting init because it's like, oh, I got
angry, so now I'm supposed to beangry, I'm practicing being
angry and repetitively puttingthat into your tissues.

(06:30):
No like, oh, wow, that made meangry.
How'd that make me angry?
Not why?
How?
How did that make me angry?
Oh, oh, okay, cool.
Maybe I'm gonna work on that inmy next session, which is
spiritual freedom, says Ipromised I'm going quick here.

(06:55):
Spiritual freedom thistranscends again principles,
transcend paradigms.
You guys believe in God andJesus Christ being the Savior
cool.
You guys believe in any of thebig three Abrahamic religions
Christianity, judaism, islam.

(07:16):
Cool If you're a Buddhist.
Cool If you're a New Age.
Cool If you're a Luciferian.
Sweet, find something, though Iforget right now who the quote
is by, because I'm doing thisepisode all off the cuff, and

(07:36):
there's a quote out there that,whatever you believe in, pick
something and believe, becauseit helps as human beings.
This has proven that to have abelief in something bigger than
us, it helps to squash thatexistential crisis of what am I
doing here?
What is my purpose?
We're still in control, forsure, and we get full spiritual

(08:02):
freedom.
Wow, there's the internal sideof it that we can reach a state
of peace and bliss, even if youwill.
I myself all my personalbeliefs around what's going on
in the universe and God or Godforce aside.

(08:22):
I'm a big fan of meditation.
When you meditate, you canachieve a spot of bliss if you
will, regardless of whatemotions or thoughts are coming
up, just zanned out and sittingthere.
Spiritual freedom ties intoemotional and mental freedom and

(08:46):
then back all the way tophysical freedom, because my
favorite definition ofenlightenment is to see the
world as it actually is.
Now, when we can see the worldas it actually is, enlightenment
is a bit of a spiritual term,right?
Well then we can see ourselvesas we actually are, we can see

(09:09):
our emotions as they actuallyare, we can see our thoughts as
they actually are, without acognitive dissonance in there,
without this preconceived notion, this story of oh wait, but
it's actually this way.
You get angry and you try andfight and make sure that it
stays that way, because that'swhere it needs to be to protect

(09:32):
my own ego.
No, when we can let go of thatego, that's spiritual freedom.
When we can realize that ourshadow or the devil or whatever
dark forces at play, the victimmentality embodied in a
spiritual and energetic way,when we can recognize that and

(09:56):
realize that when we laugh at itit will run away, and even to
another level, that darknessthat lives inside of us.
We get acquainted with it.
And then we take a look at itand we realize that it's not all
dark.
Depends on how we use it andthen we integrate it.

(10:18):
Because that's where a lot ofpeople go wrong with the
spiritual side of things is theytry to cut out the dark.
They try to cut out theirshadow, cut out, kill their ego,
integrate your ego, integrateyour shadow, bring it all back
into you.
The amount of people I'veworked with that have either

(10:38):
worked with me in the past orworked with another coach who
we're like well, yeah, that'sthe past me.
I don't like that version of meanymore.
And then we get into it.
It's like oh wait, there'sactually pieces of me that I
want to go pick up and use,moving forward.
That's what we're talking abouthere.
Spiritual freedom allows us toreassemble ourselves as our most

(10:59):
authentic self.
And if we are all a puzzlepiece in this grand puzzle, if
we are all a pinhole throughwhich the universe sees itself,
if we are all an embodiment ofGod, well, my friend, then when
you are your most authentic self, there's literally more

(11:21):
divinity in the world.
Set another way, that's freedom, spiritual chains.
On the other hand, if you failto be your most authentic self,
there is less divinity in theworld.
I think that encapsulatesspiritual chains and freedom
right there.
And we're on to financialfreedom.

(11:47):
Now see, this one often getschopped off and removed from the
other four.
And you see these guys likeAlex Hormozzi or these other big
entrepreneurs Gary Vaynerchuk,who just had a chip on their
shoulder and they need to makeas much money as possible, and
then the money becomes theirchains or the tech entrepreneurs

(12:10):
in the 90s and the 2000s whowould walk into restaurants with
big stacks of cash and justthrow them everywhere.
And the guys that went.
They ended up going brokebecause they identify with that
money.
The money was chains, it wasn'tsetting them free.
And you've got the other side ofit, the people who want the

(12:32):
spiritual freedom, the mental,emotional freedom, the physical
freedom, and they shit on money.
They say, ah, money's not it,money's not important.
I mean, hey, man, if you'reself-sustaining and you want to
go live in the woods somewhereand you can hunt for yourself,
you can provide for yourself,you can create clean water, yeah

(12:55):
, you don't need money.
However, if you want toparticipate in today's society
in any meaningful way, youlikely need a way to create that
money, that energy exchange.
That is currency and in theoverly spiritual New Age

(13:15):
community, all currency, it'llflow to me, it's all flowing to
me.
No, guys, we get to go outthere and create it.
The opportunities may beflowing to you, they might be,
and when are you going to getout there and create it?
This is something that I see ina lot of people who have buried
in personal development orburying themselves in the gym

(13:39):
because they're scared of money.
They're scared of the paradigmshift that would happen if they
were one of those people thatactually made a lot of money it
was actually truly financiallyfree and then say, no, I'm free
from the stress of money.
They're actually puttingthemselves in chains because
they can't be truly physicallyfree.
Even if they're in the gym,they can't have the physical

(14:01):
freedom to go out and do as theyplease.
They're not mentally freebecause they're constantly
thinking of how they're going toafford the next thing they want
.
They're definitely notemotionally free because that
thinking about affording thenext thing well, what's that do?
Create stress, create a littledissonance, a little ugh.

(14:22):
I'm not providing for myself,I'm not providing for my family.
What does that mean about who Iam?
And then what does that do?
They start writing a story.
They start writing a story thatI'm not a person with a lot of
money, but I have these otherthings, so it's cool.
So how does that affect theiroverall freedom?

(14:45):
If we have all the other piecesbut not money, we'll really
open this one up.
What does that do?
This one chain is always goingto drag us back down.
It's going to take everythingback down.
Think about this like a bargraph of freedom, if you need to
, with physical, mental,emotional, spiritual and

(15:08):
financial, and each bar can onlyget so high before the lowest.
One needs to catch up and eventranscend that level so the rest
of them can come back up.
I say all of this because I haveoperated in spaces on both
sides of this line.
I've worked with individualswho have multiple seven-figure

(15:31):
net worths, eight-figure networths that run businesses that
do eight figures a year, andtheir physical health is in the
shitter.
Their self-talk is absolutelyhorrible, they're still wearing
chains and their money is theirchains because they've tied
themselves to it.

(15:52):
And on the flip side of that, Iworked with a lot of people.
I have a lot of peers who havebeen through this.
I have clients who have helpedthrough this.
They understand everything,they're phenomenal coaches, but
they've got this thing aboutmoney.

(16:12):
They don't have any and theycan't get past the fact that to
create it it takes money, skills.
It doesn't take like, yes.
The mental, emotional,spiritual freedom will help and
until you develop the financialskills it's going to stay low.

(16:35):
That financial chain will stillbe there.
And once we get all thesepillars together and we shed the
chains of each and everyone, wehave that true physical freedom
within ourselves and theability, because of career
choice and family, to go wherewe want.
Once we have that mentalfreedom, that we are truly in

(17:00):
control of our story, that wewrite which anybody that has
worked with me, anybody thatunderstands the work that I do
they have that Emotional freedom.
This ties into the work I do aswell, because that mental chain
is often creating an emotionalchain and vice versa.
They're tangled up in eachother.

(17:21):
The spiritual freedom becauseonce you take back control of
your own story, once you unlearnthe shit programming that was
fed to you by often well-meaningpeople, they didn't know any
better.
Guys, we're in a new age, theage of information.
We have access to so much more.
We've got to give the pastgenerations credit that they

(17:44):
often did the best that theycould do, even if it was the
best they could think theythought they could do.
Well then it was the best theycould do and they get back to it
.
You get that spiritual freedom.
Then your soul is light, youcan operate in a state of peace.

(18:06):
What's left from there, guys,it's the financial freedom.
It's creating monetaryresources that allow you to take
vacations with your family whenyou want and where you want.
It's creating monetary banks ofliterally your own bank, your
own storage of wealth that givesyou a sense of mental ease.

(18:30):
It's creating currency thatflows and gives you that
emotional I'm fucking proud ofmyself, man, look what I did and
it's creating that money thatyou can go out and do good

(18:53):
things in the world with andcreate more spiritual freedom.
Because, whatever you want tocall it, the karmic cycle is
real.
I knew this one was going toopen up big on the backside once
we started tying in finances tothe other lovers.
I thoroughly appreciate youguys sticking here through this.

(19:14):
If you're new here, please likethis one.
If you're here on YouTube, rate, follow, subscribe.
And if you're wondering, chase,how do I pull these levers?
It all starts with a story.
Yes, we can get way too woundup in healing work and until we

(19:38):
look at the stories that operateeach of these levers, it's
going to be difficult to pullthem.
So we look at the story that'skeeping that lever stuck, we
unlearn it, we rewrite it as apowerful one, and then we take
action.

(19:59):
Guys, this episode was off thecuff.
It came to me this morning aslike we need to do this.
These five levers are somethingthat everybody needs to be able
to pull, and this is, truth betold, where my coaching is going
.
This is why I have businesscoaching clients now.
I've been in theentrepreneurial space for 10
years Less legitimateentrepreneur when I was a kid,

(20:21):
so take with that what you willand I've been a legitimate brick
and mortar business owner since2014.
I've been online since 2018.
I am acquiring and runningmultimillion dollar businesses,
and I know that there are a lotof coaches and aspiring coaches
that listen to this and that arewatching this channel, and I'm

(20:47):
here to tell you that, once youlearn the skills, each of those
levers starts to pull itself.
Thank you for being here.
Much love, guys.
It's time for Family Dinner.
I played a huge role in guidingme to that discovery.

(21:26):
Get after it.
