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.

Chances are, your daily work consists of 85-90% tasks that you can fulfill, but are mediocre at. And don’t much enjoy, other than the ease, comfort and routine of easy busy work. The other 10-15% is work that you are really good at (possibly as low as 5%). Yet name any expert, authority, celebrity or [...]
This blog post got a lot of attention, so I reviewed it and expounded so our podcast/audio listeners could get the message. The gist is a list of highlight failures I partook of in my initial free agent pursuit, that were the keys to wrecking my marriage as well. Listen, so you can avoid the [...]

Here is the question I posted on Facebook: “Do you think it’s somewhat self-serving, selfish, narcissistic…a luxury, to have work you are passionate about, care about, enjoy and are inspired in?” Please hear me on this, as I see it played out every day…your feeling and belief on the answer will forever seal your fate [...]
Earlier this week, my father, Dan Miller, posted a blog titled “God keeps closing the doors on my calling”. The responses were…depressing. Disheartening. Demoralizing. It blatantly showcased some significant misunderstanding and misperceptions with what Calling is and how it applies to your life. I brought Gary Barkalow of The Noble Heart and Justin Lukasavige of [...]
We make change for two reasons, pain or desire. Pain holds the #1 spot, as we are more prone to be reactive than proactive. But there is more collateral damage when we wait for the pain to move us… But pain is hard to take action on in our culture today, as we’ve deemed pain [...]
If this isn’t the big question…then what is, eh? And the answer IS…nobody can say but you. But today Gary Barkalow and I unpacked quite a few of the primary issues surrounding the question. Such as: When all your ducks are in a row. You have everything you need! So there is no need for [...]
I posted this on the Free Agent Academy Facebook discussion page and received some incredible replies. You can see them below. If you want to hear the live show, the audio is at the bottom.

Today we talked with Joshua & Sarah Gordon of The NonConformist Family. They have just celebrated their 1-year anniversary of full-time free agency. How did they get there…from traditional employment and doing the grind, to self-employment and living out their convictions for their family? How did their marriage fare along the way? I’ll give you [...]
I’m not talking Swahili or Chinese. I mean a certain demographic of people who you know well. You know their lingo and the secret handshake and have understanding that only those who are kindred spirits would know. I shared this on Facebook and got a lot of great comments. Some people shared areas of interest [...]

But wait…where does that business come from? It comes from people who are listening to you. Who care about what you have to [...]

Today I posted an offer on the Facebook discussion page to answer a few free agent questions. My bride Teri joined me and 40 folks in the live chatroom and video and we covered a lot of ground. Here are some of the questions: “We are essentially running two businesses in one. A consignment clothing [...]
Some people get the perspective that I think the reality of self-employment is some kind of spiritual mecca. Those that are self-employed are ‘better’ or more worthy and righteous, or get closer to the right-hand of God himself! And that those who are working jobs and traditionally employed are lessor. That would be similar to [...]
That’s it, no punchline. Though I’ll say that pretty much anything of great value that you commit to will require you to be culturally unreasonable. Even…gasp…irresponsible (by society’s standards). So my primary point is that you just accept this reality. Your charge is to find what you feel is right and true and best for [...]
