At the Freedom Fighters Podcast, we passionately believe in freedom—not just as a concept, but as a calling. We believe that God, our forefathers, and our own choices lay the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. This podcast is our way of exploring what it really means to live free—financially, personally, and spiritually. Each episode dives into the real stories of people who are fighting for something bigger than themselves. We believe true financial freedom comes from faithfulness, integrity, and the courage to keep going, even when life gets hard. Through honest conversations and powerful lessons, we share the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts that help others pursue freedom on their own terms. We’re here to grow, to give, and to open doors for others. Because when one of us breaks free, it creates a ripple effect. And we believe that kind of freedom is always worth the fight.
Chris Pomerleau built multiple companies, served in the military, passed the bar, and started stacking real estate. From the outside, he had it all figured out. But somewhere along the way, the goalpost kept moving.
In this episode, Ryan and Tanner sit down with Chris to talk about what nobody warns you about on the other side of success. The tension between building and being present. The primal drive to h...
Comfort can look like success—and still be a cage.
In this episode, we get brutally honest about what happens when we know what God is asking… and we keep negotiating anyway. We talk through a life that looked “winning” on the outside—money, freedom, options—yet felt like slow death on the inside. And we lay out the turning point: the moment pain became mercy, and obedience became the only way forward.
We also put words t...
Sitting on the fence feels safe—until it quietly steals your momentum.
In this episode, we talk about the real cost of slow decisions: missed deals, stressed teams, wasted hours, and the mental drain that makes everything feel heavier than it needs to be. Decision fatigue isn’t just a productivity issue—it’s a leadership issue.
We share what’s changed for us over the last several months: we’re making calls faster, fix...
Freedom isn’t a vibe — it’s built with responsibility, preparedness, and real relationships.
In this episode, we sit down with a firefighter-paramedic and small business owner who reminds us what “service” actually looks like when it’s not a slogan. We talk about why firefighters aren’t just “firefighters” (fires are a tiny fraction of the calls), and what it takes to stay calm when everyone else is panicking.
But th...
ChatGPT isn’t “AI.” It’s just the brand most of us started with.
In this episode, we get real about what happens when you stop treating AI like a chatbot… and start treating it like infrastructure. We share why we moved beyond ChatGPT, what surprised us about Claude, and how “scaffolding” (the 90% behind the scenes) is what turns AI from a toy into a tool that can actually run parts of your business.
We talk about bui...
In this episode, we dive into the "unknown unknowns" of entrepreneurship—the problems you don't see coming until they hit you.

We also unpack the myth of linear business growth. Why do some bu...

What if the one decision you’re avoiding is the key to your next season of freedom?
This week we sit down with our business coach and pull back the curtain—on coaching that actually changes Monday, not just your mood on Friday.

Goals don’t change us—identity does.
Most of us set big targets, get hyped, then fall off by January 20th and feel like quitters. In this episode, we get painfully honest about why that happens and how to build the kind of life that lasts. We replace “set a goal” with Be → Do → Have: become the person first, take the smallest daily action next, and let the results follow.
We talk about identity ove...
Reinvention isn’t a midlife crisis—it’s obedience on a deadline.
In this episode, we sit down with a former pastor-turned-operator who rebuilt his life, his leadership, and his livelihood—starting over in his 50s. We talk candidly about failure, forgiveness, and why walking in step with the Holy Spirit beats white-knuckle hustle every time. No polish, no platitudes—just the real story of losing a platform, keeping a ...
Rates didn’t drop, insurance exploded, and the old playbook broke—so we wrote a new one.
We unpack where our 2025 calls hit, where we missed, and the framework we’re using to invest, operate, and lead heading into 2026. No hype—just straight talk on real returns, real risk, and real decisions we’re making with our own money.
We compare single-family, multifamily, and commercial reality on the ground: tight inventory, ...
You don’t really know what you’re made of until you’re flat on your back in a roach-infested apartment… or hooked up to chemo.
In this episode, we sit down with a creative entrepreneur who went from losing every client overnight and living with cockroaches, to building multi–seven-figure businesses—while walking through an aggressive form of blood cancer. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a real conversation about id...
Freedom isn’t luck—it’s built on habits, truth, and the courage to change course.
In this episode, we get real about faith, sobriety, and the moment a “worst case” injury became God’s best redirect. We talk through how putting God first—Bible in the morning, church every week, first-fruits giving—reset our lives, our marriage, and our money. We unpack why we left the military grind, moved to a new market with a truck...
Freedom isn’t a finish line—it’s a set of daily choices backed by systems, stewardship, and courage.
In this episode, we sit down with a first-generation American who went from writing code to buying city blocks—proving you don’t need a rich uncle to build generational wealth.

Ever wondered if buying a business could be your shortcut to real financial freedom—or just a fast track to regret? We sit down with a seasoned business broker who's owned parts of 10 companies and sold countless more, pulling back the curtain on why acquisition entrepreneurship isn't the hype it's cracked up to be, but can still build lasting wealth if you're wired for it.

Freedom isn’t a destination—it’s a way we design our days.
In this episode, we get real about what freedom looks like when you’re raising kids, running a business, and choosing purpose over autopilot. Three years on the road taught us a surprising lesson: geographic freedom is great, but calendar freedom—owning when and how we work—changes everything. We share the beauty (Grand Canyon at a dog pit-stop), the grit (RV...

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
