Fred Stutzman is the founder and CEO of Freedom, an app that helps people stay focused by temporarily blocking apps from their devices. His first startup was called Claim ID, which was an online identity management service for the social web.
Fred built Freedom to help him focus on essential tasks in college and to avoid unnecessary distractions such as browsing on Social Media. Although Freedom was started as a side gig, Fred soon realized it could be scaled into a legitimate business. Today, Freedom has over 1 million users and is still growing.
In this episode, Fred Stutzman and Grant Ingersoll discuss transitioning a side gig into a full-time scalable business. You will also hear:
1. How academics can impact your entrepreneurial path.
2. Why process management is critical to building a business.
3. How a positive mindset can help scale a business fast.
4. Why forming routines and habits help with business and personal growth
5. Mistakes made when growing a startup and how to rectify them.
6. How customer feedback impacts a business.
