073 Interview: Callum Webber

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast. In this episode I talk to Callum Webber from Freedom Lifestyle. Throughout this insightful conversation, Callum invites young people to really think about what will bring them happiness in life. He explains how to break away from societal norms and the benefits of doing so. Having spent most of his school life watching the clock, Callum wondered whether there is more to life. Instead of following the traditional route that his family, like many others, put on a pedestal, he decided to travel and invest in himself with training. Rather than taking a traditional 9-5 job and taking on a mortgage, Callum put his money into building what he calls the Freedom Lifestyle. "Society is set up to create employees not entrepreneurs." Callum explains that by investing in personal development and taking risks, you bring yourself out of your comfort zone and open a door to new relationships and opportunities. Like many of us, lockdown provided a moment of realisation for Callum. He had come back from Menorca to live with his nan and was despatate to continue living his life. Instead of joining his friends in drinking and playing quizzes on Zoom, he made the decision to become sober and to focus on personal development. Whether you're a young person just starting out in your career or have years' of experience, I'm confident this episode will leave you wondering, 'How can I bring more freedom into my life?'. One aspect of freedom that Callum speaks about is not caring about what other people think. He explained that he's consistent with putting himself in uncomfortable situations and said that while some people may talk negatively about you, there will be people talking positively. He highlights that it helps you reach out to the right people and to start building your tribe. Full of energy and thought provoking, this episode will leave you in no doubt that there are things you can do to improve your mindset and bring freedom to your life.
