In this episode, I continue the personal journey of becoming a Freedom Runner—not just in fiction, but in real life. But something’s changed. I’m realizing that this vision—of living freely, deeply, and connected—can’t exist in isolation. It takes a community. A generation. Maybe even several.
As I begin to see the broader picture, I share the moment I realized that Freedom Runners IO isn’t just a story I’m building—it’s a blueprint for a future we may desperately need.
The second half of this episode takes a darker turn, as I unpack the direction our world may be heading in real life… and how that sobering vision is now reshaping the very storyline of Freedom Runners IO.
This isn’t just about escape anymore. It’s about what we’re building—and who we’re becoming—before it’s too late.
