My guest made the bold decision to emerge from post-Covid Northern California on a two-year quest to both experience true freedom and capture it both on film and in print. After talking first-hand to hundreds of people, the end result is his new book When Do You Feel Free?: Voices Across America.
Ryland Hormel joins me on this episode for a man-to-man discussion on how we as men tend to define freedom. But wait…is that how we should define freedom? How have men’s views on freedom changed within the last generation or so?
Truth be told, many men haven’t just simply lost their sense of freedom, they’ve begun to wonder if freedom is even what they really want. So how about it, then…when DO you feel free? What exactly is Ryland’s ‘freedom equation’?
What does Ryland mean when he claims ‘freedom as a feeling’? How is freedom integrally related to choice? Why is overcoming fear so important to feeling free?
If we as men tell ourselves we’re not allowed to experience emotions, or even have any fun, doesn’t that constrain us rather than free us up? What is the importance of letting go of attachments and constraints?
How did so many of us become so detached from our very purpose, instead living vicariously through TV and social media? How has the ‘easy button’ subtly robbed us of freedom?
And most of all, how does genuine connection and community with others enhance our freedom…or is that only for developing countries anymore?
