    #149 The True Freedom of Entrepreneurship: Becoming While Building
    Jul 4 2025
    In this episode of 'Chats with GiGi,' host GiGi Diaz reflects on the meaning of freedom as an entrepreneur.

    Coming from a background where freedom was scarce, she shares how living in the United States has allowed her to appreciate the liberty to speak, think, and act freely. Focusing on the 4th of July, she discusses the common entrepreneurial desire for time, financial, and creative freedom, and questions whether business owners are creating their ventures from a place of genuine freedom or merely following someone else’s success template.

    GiGi emphasizes the importance of identity evolution over outcome obsession and explores how shifting from pressure to curiosity can alleviate stress and fuel creativity. She invites listeners to reflect on what true entrepreneurial freedom means for them, offering practical advice on building a business that aligns with one’s personal values and desired lifestyle.

    Listen in for insights on crafting a business structure that supports not just financial success, but personal fulfillment as well.
