    How To HACK Your Network For Success - Peter Freeth

    In this engaging podcast episode, host Carl interviews Peter Freeth, a seasoned professional with a diverse career that includes capturing iconic moments at major music events. The conversation delves into the profound impact of social media on personal and professional growth, exploring how it can both connect and isolate individuals. Peter shares insights on the importance of self-permission in pursuing one's dreams, the challenges of societal expectations, and the psychological barriers that often hold people back from realizing their potential. Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking analogies, including the metaphor of zebras and their survival instincts, the episode highlights the complexities of human behavior, the power of communication, and the necessity of stepping outside one's comfort zone to embrace new opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Power of Social Media : Social media has transformed how we connect with others, allowing us to build networks beyond our immediate physical surroundings. This can lead to opportunities for collaboration and growth, but it also risks creating echo chambers where differing opinions are excluded. Permission and Self-Doubt : Many individuals struggle with giving themselves permission to pursue their dreams due to practical concerns and societal expectations. This often leads to a cycle of self-doubt, where people prioritize the opinions of others over their own aspirations. Influence of Environment : The environment and upbringing significantly shape an individual's worldview and opportunities. People often compare themselves to others within their social circles, which can lead to feelings of resentment or inspiration, depending on their perspective. BEST MOMENTS Peter Freeth: "I think there's great potential to be very selective in finding like-minded people... but one of the hidden dangers of social media is that selectivity, that we're going to surround ourselves with people who are like us." Carl: "If I don't agree with any opinion that you have... I'm going to get you fired from your job." HOST BIO Meet Carl Mannion, the warts-and-all host of the "Lazy Wealth Creation Podcast."

Beware of Scams in Digital Marketing : Many entrepreneurs fall victim to scams when starting their businesses, especially in digital marketing. It's important to educate oneself on SEO and online marketing strategies to avoid wasting money on ineffective services. BEST MOMENTS "An entrepreneur is a very lonely individual because very often an entrepreneur sees things that a lot of other people don't." "When you're an entrepreneur and you're working for yourself, there is no basic life support. There is just, you make money or you starve." "You either have resilience or you don't really. And for me, when the business financially fails, I remember even now today... that absolutely crucified me." HOST BIO Meet Carl Mannion, the warts-and-all host of the "Lazy Wealth Creation Podcast."
