Hooters was started by 6 friends with no restaurant experience but somehow managed to turn an April Fool’s Day joke into a reality with an initial investment of just $140,000. Hooter’s flirts with the subtleties of being naughty but not too naughty, a type of art that sometimes gets it into trouble. The history of Hooters is filled with battles both internally and externally even with giants such as the government. Through it all it continued to experiment with several unique business ventures such as a casino hotel, airline, magazine and even a late night show. This is the insane story of how Hooters defeated all the odds to become a restaurant empire with 420 locations that spans 42 states and 29 countries.

Prologue

How does a restaurant go from one location in Clearwater, Fl to having it’s own airline, late night show, motel, casino hotel, magazine, 420 locations in 42 states and 29 countries in a span of 40 years with an initial investment of just $140,000 dollars? Well it certainly wouldn’t be rounding up 5 of your best friends to pitch in who didn’t have any restaurant experience and say to hell with it right? Well think again. This is the insane story of how Hooters defied the odds and managed to become an internationally recognizable brand.

How It All Started

Hooters was started by 6 friends Lynn Stewart, Gil DiGiannantonio, Ed Droste, Billy Ranieri, Ken Wimmer and Dennis Johnson. They were semi successful businessman who one day was playing parcheesi at “The Home for the Visually Offensive.” Desiring the finer things in life they came up with the half baked idea to open up a restaurant that they couldn’t get kicked out of and on April 1st, 1983 Hooters was officially formed. The date was an April Fools’ Day joke because even they believed that their restaurant would inevitably fail.

Everything was stacked against them. None of them had any experience running a restaurant evidenced by them attempting to sell alcohol before they received their liquor license and having to call up another friend to teach them how to light up the fryers.

They also built their first location on a site that had seen many many businesses fail. So much so that the Hooters six built a small “graveyard” at the front of the door for each that had come and gone before them.

But due to their savviness and marketing angle they attracted loyal customers and eventually Hugh Connerty’s attention.

The post The Rise & Fall of Mike Tyson | A Story of Redemption appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

You may know this man as Liver King the modern day sophisticated caveman raking in more than 100 million dollars per year. You may be quick to think he made his fortune on TikTok the platform where he first went viral and currently has 3.1 Million followers but trust me he didn’t. He’s only been active on social media for less than 2 years and his message is resonating with large amounts of men while also capturing the attention of the mainstream. To truly understand how Brian Johnson became the Liver King and learn what he is all about… we must go back to where it all began.

This production took me a while to complete therefore since the time of this video being release, a big fact has since come out. To some it was obvious to others not so much. What interested me more was his story and taking some of the good out of the message. I’ve personally incorporated some of his tenets into my personal life and feel better for it. Like anything in life take the good from people and apply it.

The good part of Liver King’s message is about helping people, mostly men tackle issues that are so prevalent today such as stats that he shared:

-85% of people have self-esteem issues

-80% struggle paycheck to paycheck

-70% of the world is overweight and half of that is obese.

-50% are on prescription meds,

-40% have or will get cancer

-20% can’t have kids.

Being primal is about living your truist, freest and healthiest life. It’s about earning the freedom to live life on your terms and find a cause worth working for. Do we all have a right to be mad that he lied and deceived people? You bet. He probably should give a massive donation to a couple charities or something but the sad reality is… this is life. Our politicians, bankers, athletes all lie for gain but one should strive to be better anyways because thats how you can look yourself in the mirror and be okay with yourself. I hope you enjoyed this mini movie/documentary about Liver King and remember always strive to be the best version of yourself.

The post The Raw Story of Liver King | Brian Johnson appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

Ownership, fulfillment, freedom and happiness are pillars to building a successful life that anyone can be proud of. It’s imperative now more than ever to commit to making progress on all of these pillars because each one cannot truly flourish without the other. You may be content with your current job but because you do not own that job it can be taken away from you. You can have a business but if you aren’t fulfilled and doing meaningful work the grind will become overbearing and lead to loss of happiness or worse depression. The quicker you see that these pillars are interconnected, the quicker you can make more meaningful moves to build a life where you wake up excited and energetic. Making progress on these 4 pillars gives me natural energy so there is no need to intake an artificial stimulant just to function. Making progress on these pillars over many years has given me the freedom of more time to do what I find valuable.

The economic conditions that are being forecasted ahead along with more and more industries potentially being disrupted from things such as technological advances and competition warrants your attention and makes these changes more urgent. Relying on a job to put food on the table puts you and the people that rely on you at great risk. I want you to accept that level of accountability and responsibility. I want you to never settle for anything less than the life you know you truly deserve. This video takes you through that thought process and I hope you find it both enlightening and motivating. To your freedom chasing success, cheers!

The post Why You Need A Side Hustle appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

Taking the time to understand how to deal with insecurities and turning them into strengthens is a big reason why I have been able to build genuine confidence. Confidence can be gained by repetition which leads to familiarity which gives you confidence that you can do that thing again because you have done it before. The problem with that logic is that it’s surface level confidence. Real genuine confidence is being able to muster up the courage to do something that you have never done before. Stacking past experiences and skills with current habits opens the door to bravery, courage & resourcefulness which are the ingredients to genuine confidence that everyone around you will immediately be able to notice.

In this video, I start out by sharing a personal experience of mine when I was in 5th grade where my teacher made me do the chicken dance! Breaking down this experience as well as other ones that you may have experienced yourself will give you the perspective and methods necessary to build the confidence that you desire. Dealing with insecurity isn’t easy and this video isn’t meant to replace a discussion with a licensed therapist but with that said, from my experience the longer you wait to address the root cause of where your insecurities came from the more diligent and more relentless you need to be to make change happen. Staying determined to do things that scare you, while increasing your knowledge will lead to the best version of you. Thats the version that you can truly be proud of and the one deserving of a life where you make the rules.

For most people social media is the main way we interact with people outside our regular social circle. Many of us allow hours of our day to disappear by effortlessly tapping through stories or scrolling through our feed. These are surface level interactions that have the potential to make us feel a particular way about our current daily life.

Over the summer, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many new people (in person) and while most of them were awesome individuals (from all over the world, from all walks of life) many simultaneously had a feeling that was buried behind the initial smile and fun getting to know you talk. The feeling that they somehow felt behind.

In this video I share 9 rules that can serve as a guide that can assist you on your journey through the thing we call life. If any of these rules stick out to you or you have a rule or two of your own feel free to share!

The post Feeling Behind In Life | 9 Rules To Live By appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

Intro

Ever wonder how some people seem to be able to crack the code, hit another gear, accomplish something that seems so difficult or maybe even impossible. If you are aspiring to be great then you certainly have. Most people who accomplished great things have people they looked up to. People that inspired them and lit that spark in their core. But what it boils down to is that someone did it before them and because of this it made it possible.

The Proof

In sports, before Tom Brady won 7 Super Bowls he had Joe Montana who won 4 and was regarded by many as the GOAT. Gunder Hagg of Sweden held the world record for the fastest mile with a time of 4 minutes and 1.3 seconds. Everyone thought breaching the 4 minute barrier was physically impossible until Roger Bannister, a 25 year old medical student finally did it.

In business, Elon Musk has on multiple occasions said that he looks up to and draws inspiration from several people. Among those people were space legends Neil Armstrong & Gene Cernan as role models and inspirations that catapulted his fascination with space exploration.

In entertain, Sean Combs better known as P Diddy has a mentor in Ray Dalio. A man who founded Bridgewater Associates which grew to become one of the world’s largest hedge funds. This business create a net worth of 22 billion for Ray. Don’t get me wrong, Diddy is extremely successful. He’s known for being an American rapper, songwriter, record executive, and entrepreneur. Diddy’s net worth is calculated to be about 900 million as of 2022. In 2019 the year before having a meeting with Ray Dalio on Youtube for the world to watch his net worth was 740 million. That’s a gain of 160 million in just 3 years.

Family Role Models

When asked who my role model is… I would often say I didn’t really have one. I read books, watched countless interviews and I learned from them but I would quickly move on to the next one. And if someone asked well how about someone you know. I would say my parents. Both my mom and my dad had strengths I pulled from. But deep down inside I didn’t want to be like them. I didn’t aspire to be like my parents. I wanted to accomplish more. I wanted to propel the family forward. My mom did the hard thing of leaving the country of Panama where she excelled in school became a pharmacist and because America is the land of opportunity decided to further her studies here even though she did not know the language. My father was brought here by my grandma from El Salvador to escape the violence and poverty. She was a strong willed woman and is just as strong now as my earliest memory of her. My father joined the military, married my mother and together we moved to Germany, then D.C., then Newport News, VA then finally ATL, GA. None of it, including raising my little brother and me was easy. To say they aren’t role models would be a lie. But that’s not what I’m talking about here.

Powerful Role Models

Up until now I realized I have been neglecting the true power of role models. I tried to will my dreams into existence with no one to serve as a roadmap. No one who did the hard part which is to be the first to do it. But if you are trying to do something that is really hard, something that no one, you personally know has done before, you are doing things the hard way.

You want a role model or two who have accomplished the things you wish to accomplish. Who are living the life you wish to live. Your eventual goal may be to surpass them or do what they did in a different niche or industry but having that person in your mind helps make things easier because it helps make the early steps that much more clearer.

The post How to Crack The Code to Success | Elon Musk, Tom Brady, Patrick Bet David appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

So you’re looking to quit your job. For some extra motivation or someone you can relate to. Maybe you’re even looking for someone to convince you not to do it. But by the end of this video you will leave with 3 lessons, 2 examples and with the answer to an underlying problem most people don’t think they have. My whole working career I’ve been split in two. Having a business on one hand and having a full time job on the other. Even when I didn’t have a business I was going to school full time and working full time. The truth is I was a part of hustle culture through and through. Hours didn’t matter. Even at times my health took a back seat. And I’m sure in future videos I’ll share some of those experiences with the lessons I learned along the way but I want you to know. I want you look at me dead in my eyes and listen to me… this is not the way to do it.

Lesson 1: Success isn’t achieved by hard work alone.

Success isn’t achieved by hard work alone. There will be times when you need to put your head down, turn off distractions and pull all nighters to speed up or blast through something but this shouldn’t be the norm. You won’t be as successful as you could be by doing this. You need to be able to slow down, reflect and adjust your strategy from time to time. Slowing down makes sure that you didn’t jump from one hamster wheel to another.

When it became painfully apparent to me that I was working hard on the wrong things everything changed.

The post Why I Quit My Job With No Other Job Lined Up | Lessons I Learned That Changed My Life Forever appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

Passion, the thing we are looking for but few of us ever find. The older we get the busier we become and the thing we had so much of when we were younger starts to fade. But lately it seems like everyone has been on a mission to rediscover it. This is my take on passion. 

I’m like you watching right now thinking about what I want the next chapter of my life to look like. 

I’ve recently, over the past 2 years begun to day dream like I used to when I was in school. 

Then it hit me.

I’m back in school. 

I’m an adult now but I spend a large amount of my day inside an office under fluorescent light. 

It might as well be a classroom with me sitting in a plastic chair that’s attached to a 3×2 piece of artificial wood. 

Sure I’m no longer wearing god knows what i was thinking and I traded whatever that was for a suit, fancy shoes, and a steady paycheck. 

But I’m basically an adult kid. 

Who has rules that are designed for me to follow and prevent me from drawing outside the lines. 

If I break a rule no matter how stupid it is no matter how much common sense it lacks the result is displinary action or a coaching session. 

But I was such a good adult kid that I barely ever had to deal with that. 

Instead early in my career before I saw clearly, I would work no matter the hour to get the job done. 

What’s worse is I was the one handing out the disciplinary actions and the one on one coaching sessions to anyone who drew outside of those lines and have been for most of my career.  

It didn’t matter if I thought the system or policy was stupid or even the person or group that created the policy was really at fault. 

Behind closed doors, of course I would express my opinion. Did it make its way through the system to make a difference? Sometimes. Years later. Maybe.

But the one thing that was for sure was the frontline employee was getting held accountable if not the same day by the end of the week. 

So all of this brings me here to the question we have today. 

Should you go 100% in on your passion? And May I add design the life you want to live. 

Now that you kind of know me and you can feel the passion and the energy I have around my experiences with this topic and my desire to control what really matters to me. 

In order to make sure this video keeps it moving delivering fact after fact, mind blowing thought provoking words every minute after minute like all my other videos do… yes, that was a subtle plug… yes, to my passion seeking people if you want to make it possible faster to live the life you want watch the other videos, subscribe and like the video so that you can do your part in building our community of action taking passionate people. 

Okay. So here it is. 

I’m going to take a sip of this cocktail… right here. 

Every 60 secs and I got to get all my thoughts out before I finish this glass. 

Alright let’s go. 

Before we go all in on anything it helps to know what the hell it is we’re going all in on. 

I mean we don’t blindly walk through a dark room and expect to find what we are looking for… right?

So if we are looking for passion we need to know what the hell passion is?

 I found myself up. Late at night. Wrestling with the idea… What is Passion? 

Passion is a strong barely controllable emotion. A state or burst of emotion. An intense desire or enthusiasm for something. 

Finding myself increasingly frustrated I typed in “true meaning of passion.” A strong feeling or emotion. 

What the fuck man. I just want to understand. 

More frustrated and with the lack of actionable clarity I thought to myself… let’s go on more layer deeper. (Root word of Passion). 

So it turns out the word ‘passion’ is one of those words that we use differently today than the way people in the past originally used it. The word itself comes from the Latin root word, patior, 

So patior means to suffer. 

Umm to suffer?!

After researching all these definitions here is what I came up with.

The post (WATCH THIS) Before quitting your job and chasing your passion. appeared first on Freedom Chasing Media.

Gamifying your life could be the key to your success. 

Could it be that there is something more going on hacking the very psyche that gets people addicted and even obsessed when playing video games that we can learn from? 

Come on… let’s go for a walk

I’m sure we have all witnessed or maybe we… ourselves whether when we were younger or older have spent countless hours glued to the screen obsessing over beating a video game. 

Well what if we can take something that we learned from video games and bring it to our real everyday lives? 

Micro mini voice: Hell Naw. In video games you die motherfucker and in real life there ain’t no take backs or redos. 

Okay. Okay, obviously we can’t live our real life like it’s some sort of grand theft auto. Or spend our afternoon chasing pikachu or something. But there are definitely things that make video games addictive and fun that we can bring into our real life to spice it up and achieve more success. 

In video games people get addicted to acquiring points that unlock prizes which make our character more of a bad ass then they were when we started the game. As we continue to acquire these badges of achievement we unlock new levels. Each new level brings with it excitement because it’s new. We kind of know what to expect but not really. We know it will be more difficult but we like it. It may take us longer to win the next level than it did the first but we look forward to the challenge. If only we can tap into this momentum and motivation in real life 🤔. Today we are going to discuss how. Let’s head back home.

Welcome to the Freedom Chasing Blog where we help people just like you think, learn & live freely.

Okay so I know you can begin to see why and how games are addictive but with all the badges, levels, skins and bragging rights we accumulate throughout the game. The time you spent working on your craft and building the video game character up to an unstoppable beast was all made possible because of your efforts. So if we can, then we should look at our life through a gamified lens. 

We need to shake off looking for the easy way out. We need to shake off the laziness and the habit of complaining about our starting point. In gaming we know we are starting from level 1 and we are okay with this because we know everyone is starting from the same place so it makes us feel better. But step back for a second and ask yourself, is everyone really starting from the same place? Some people are gifted gamers. Some have gained experience from other games that will help them in this game. Some people are surrounded by gifted hardcore gamer friends. In real life we all are born and that’s more or less where the level playing field ends. We are born to random parents, in a random hospital or home, in a random place on the globe.

So one could reasonably say that our starting point is more or less the same. You may say well in games we know the end goal so we are motivated to finish the game. In real life, the goal of the game is unclear and therefore unwinable. In games, we usually know the end but that in itself isn’t what keeps you going, especially on longer more complex games. So we must ask ourselves what keeps the gamer perceiving through the levels? I think there are several things that are at play that keep a gamer not only motivated but interested. There are tons of small tasks that lead to unlocking small items or unlocking different features that add to the player’s accolades and skill level. These accomplishments and progress build onto the player’s character in the game but also add to the gamer’s commitment to winning and beating the level they are on to take on the next. Think skins, clothing, weapons, and skill level improvements for both the character and gamer that are accomplished along the journey. Again all these things, skills, both tangible and intangible items are getting the gamer more and more committed to seeing it through until the next level. They begin to think… How good can I get? How far can I go? 

To replicate these same feelings in real life one must be committed and willing to self reflect and not take their life so seriously. Without a process for self reflecting your incremental achievements that are preparing you for the next level may go unnoticed leaving you with the feeling that you aren’t making progress. In real life you may very well be one idea away from massive success. You may be one person away from finding true love. You may be one decision away from unlocking the next phase of your life. 

Phew, I got chills going through my body. Something that I don’t hear many gamers talk about is the feeling they sometimes have after a long session of gaming. It’s the feeling that you just wasted a lot of time. It’s a feeling of emptiness and loss. Loss knowing you can never get that time back no matter how often or how hard you hit the undo button. You don’t even need to be a gamer to be familiar with that feeling. 

In real life all the little things you accomplished, all the little lessons you learned, all the pain and struggles become badges and achievement awards. The trick is how can we see these things for what they are in the real world? 

A good place to start is to stop taking life so seriously. We all are born and we all die, so live. But I bet you want a step by step guide so here is mine. The first step is to start off by defining the game. What does winning look like? You don’t necessarily need one sentence that covers every single faucet of your life but you should know about the ones you really, really care about. You can break it up like I do into these categories: Lifestyle, Wealth, Traveling & Community. Lifestyle means to me Health, Habits & Mindset. Wealth to me means living a life with no Bad Debt hanging over my head & increasing my standard of living by only living off of the investment income. Traveling opens my eyes and mind which feeds my curiosity and creativity. Finally, community. Community to me means that I’m growing my social circle with quality people who make me better in one or more of the areas I just shared.

In games, they break down goals into small tasks. They do this in creative ways that lead you down a path to accomplish the game. In real life, you have to do this for yourself. Don’t feel like you have to create your master plan right now. Or draw out every single step. Life is much too exciting filled with obstacles and curve balls that will challenge you that you will have to overcome. It took me time to get to where I’m at. But you better believe this Freedom Chasing movement is your cheat code.
