This Man Turned This Small City Into an Activist Utopia – The Good Men Project

The life of an activist. Pick your issue. Everyone is passionate about some issue in particular. You do not necessarily need to be holding a sign outside. There aremany forms of activism. Activism is a great activity, but many people are unable to dedicate to it on a full-time basis. Ian Freeman was one of them.

A decade ago, he started a radio show with a partner, but he had still to work at K-Mart to pay the bills. His optimistic attitude kept him going, but each day felt like it was a struggle torecruit a team of dependable activists. Although, there was a beacon of hope. He learned about the Free State Project and thought it would be best to concentrate his efforts in New Hampshire.

After all, concentrating his efforts in a small New England state would be a better use of his time than a large Southern state. So, he sold his partner on the idea and made the move to New Hampshire.

Ian also remembered the trouble that he had in doing activism in a mid-size city like Sarasota. So, he did not want to experience that again. Instead, he picked a smaller city in his adopted state.

During his first few years there, he did many acts of civil disobedience as a way to challenge the government to stop punishing people for victimless crimes.

In this episode, I welcome back the Free Talk Live host and Keene activist, Ian Freeman. He was my guest on episode67.

We discuss his path to reaching the finish line through activism. He also shared some insights that were instrumental in his success. The truth is that this path is not for everyone.
