    technically freedom?

    In this episode of Technically Free?, we crack open the idea of freedom and flip it on its head. Maybe freedom isn’t just about making choices… maybe it’s about realizing what your choices even are before you make them. This isn’t a lecture and I’m definitely not here to download information into your beautiful brain like some human USB stick. Think of this episode as me tossing a thought grenade into the group chat of existence; a conversation starter about awareness, control, and the invisible limits shaping our decisions (yes, I probably started this whole spiral, and no, most people are not casually thinking about this at 2pm on a Tuesday). If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re living deliberately or just running default settings, this one’s for you.

    The Underdog Fight

    In this episode, Trueman unpacks the raw power of being underestimated. He argues that the best time to swing hard, take risks, and break through is when you're the underdog, because when no one expects you to win, every step forward is already a victory. With his usual blend of insight and fire, Trueman draws a bold line from underdog resilience to the spirit of entrepreneurship, urging young people to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start experimenting now. Whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or just finding your voice, this episode is a rallying cry: the fight is yours to take—and there’s no better time than now.

    That one rant about entrepreneurship

    We are back babyyyy!!!! This isn’t one of those “5 tips to build your dream startup” kind of chats. It’s the unfiltered, off-the-cuff, can-we-just-be-honest-for-a-sec type of vibe. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the word “startup” or questioned why everything suddenly needs to be an app or a product made from plant fibres, this one’s for you. Let’s talk.

    50% Truth 50% What I Want

    Information will always be one of the greatest tools that people can use to get what they want. By being able to manipulate the truth, people often take advantage of people. As young people, it is important to learn to identify what's true and what's false and to also understand that the way we do everything needs to change. In this episode, I give a few thoughts on what I will call the 50-50 rule of information. Enjoy!

    It is really up to us.....or not!

    How many times have you heard that 'It is up to the younger generation......' I think for the most part every generation is just pushing the responsibility of changing our continent to the next generation. In as much as the young people in any era are or should be instrumental in changing the continent, by continuing to push down the ultimate responsibility will do no good.  In this episode, Hama calls today's generation to action!  Like Subscribe, Follow and Share the episode!  Also, give a review if you can :)
