Free Agent Underground
Summary: The Free Agent Underground show is hosted by Kevin Miller, along with co-hosts Chuck Bowen and Justin Lukasavige as they profile the realities and real life characters of the free agent world. Free agency is not about work...but about a lifestyle. A lifestyle where you are living a life of purpose, passion and meaning. Where you set the priorities of your day, week, month, year and life. Where you wrap your work...around your life. Self-employment is the foundational tool. The only problem with self-employment is merely...self. The point is to own your work, not do it all yourself. You can't. Here we talk about the realities, payoffs, challenges and above all...the responsibility to know and live your calling. To be inspired so you can inspire others. Join the revolution.

Subtitle: Are you “Burdened with glorious purpose”? OK, the professed no-media, anti-TV guy watched ‘The Avengers’. I admit it. But I can gratefully blame it on Christine Lukasavige, Justin‘s wife (check out her ‘couch to 5k’ journey here). She mentioned buying it to my wife Teri and I was told to take it home for [...]
Two days ago I was listening to my Dad, Dan Miller, on a live radio show. The topic was the newly released book he wrote with my brother Jared, “Wisdom Meets Passion.” In discussing wisdom, my Dad quipped that the way he found wisdom was by…doing unwise things. People become famous for their successes. Most [...]
In today’s show I shared insights from my time at the Ziglar headquarters last week. To be enmeshed amidst the life of people who have devoted their lives to serving and inspiring others to better themselves was…profound. Then we had a long discussion around my Storyeurism post, which I ended by confessing a revelation I [...]

Today I had lunch with a dear friend who is at the end of his rope. He’s got a high profile job with a top Fortune 500 company. Nice house. Beautiful, supporting wife. Three great boys. They have everything money can buy. And his soul is dying. “If I stay here another 15 years, I’ll [...]
In looking at trying to sell a product or service, the ultimate question is…”Why would anyone buy it from you?” And it is THE QUESTION. It’s mind blowing how many people go after a business idea and don’t nail down this top priority. And thus…fail. But not you! Here are the top eight reasons why [...]
We had a good sized live audience today and covered: Working out 36 days straight Why Free Agent Academy focuses so much on personal development Why I don’t do a lot of ‘self-employment Q&A’ on the show, even though it would be popular Why the elite Kenyan runners that stay with us every week are [...]

Sounds like a movie or book intro…”She came from poverty, worked her way up into the corporate world, then on into her heart and freedom.” And you’d expect some hard charging, aggressive, authoritative person… But I know Brenda Dunagun up close and personal. She’s an introvert. She’s humble. She doesn’t like to take credit for [...]
Read below, or watch this quick video: 1. You’re on your way to work, your car dies. It’s an alternator, fuel pump or any number of basic things. You gotta get a tow to a mechanics, diagnose the problem and wait to get it fixed or get a ride back home. Cost: $1,000 and a [...]
The focus of all Free Agent shows, blogs, podcasts and events is ultimately personal development. At face-value the main topic of course is work and self-employment, but we only want work to be better because we want our lives to be better. And changing our lives is about changing ourselves. I didn’t really set out [...]
I met Richard a couple years ago when he had a longterm, successful construction business in Boulder, CO doing high-end finish carpentry in upscale homes. It paid his bills but he was unsatisfied, longing for work that filled his wallet and his purpose. He wanted to help people in a significant way that went further [...]

This is relevant for anyone, but our focus today was teens. We gave them a personality profile and this exercise was to help them understand how to utilize it in real life. Today I’m joined by a handful of the teens here at the Manuelito Navajo Children’s Home. Deb Ingino of ‘MyWiredStyle.com’ and ‘StrengthLeader.com’ provided them [...]
