Welcome To The Jungle! Are You a Sheep or Cheetah? Personal Growth & Entrepreneurship Podcast

Send us Fan Mail

What comes first—action or motivation? In the first episode of Run with the Cheetahs, host Russell Anderson sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Jerry Freishtat to break down the mindset shifts that separate high achievers from people who feel stuck.

Jerry introduces his powerful animal hierarchy of human behavior—from snakes and sloths to sheep, cheetahs, falcons, and alpha lions—and explains why 90% of people stay trapped in the “sheep mentality.” Discover why discipline leads to motivation, how “micro wins” create momentum, and why your childhood labels don’t define your future success.

If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or anyone looking to break through limiting beliefs, this episode offers practical tools to take action, think bigger, and start climbing your own path to an extraordinary life.
