The Freedom Every High-Performing Man is Missing (and How to Find It)

What if the biggest obstacle to your freedom isn’t lack of success but the way you’re living right now? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Mike Kotsis to uncover why so many high-performing men feel trapped despite having thriving businesses, financial wins, and status—and how to break free.

Mike shares his own story of building business success, only to realize it came at the cost of his health, presence, and deeper purpose. Through his work with freedom coaching and the creation of “Soul School” with his family, he offers a blueprint for men who want to win in business without losing at home.

Key topics discussed:

  • Why achievement without presence leaves men feeling empty
  • Learning to let go of rigid plans and yield to God’s direction
  • How to shift from living in your head to leading from both head and heart
  • The power of intentional family experiences in restoring joy and connection
  • Integrating faith authentically in life and business without forcing it on others
