Who is Cole Freeman and what inspired his journey?
Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. Today we have a tremendous conversation for you with Cole Freeman. Cole is a former LSU baseball star turned professional player who made it all the way to AAA before COVID derailed his career. Unlike many who would become bitter, regretful, Maybe shame, doubt associated with having their dream torn away from them because of an external force that they couldn't control. Cole refocused his energy on a not-for-profit called Heart Has No Limit. It is the Heart Has No Limit Foundation where he is going into youth communities and and helping them understand what it takes to be successful, how to overcome the challenges that we're presented with as young individuals, young adults in this world, and how we can put ourselves on a path to success regardless of where we start. This is an awesome conversation.
And Cole really digs into some details about his life and how he sets and resets his mindset to be positive, be focused, be energized, be determined, and ultimately reach some incredible goals.

In a crude laboratory in the basement of his home.
Cole, it's great to have you on the show, man. Appreciate you taking the time.
I appreciate you working with me, too. Sorry about last week, too, having to reschedule like that.
Oh, it's all good. Well, you know, for the audience, I mean, I realize this, but for two guys that probably at face value look like they should know what they're doing with recording a podcast, it took us about 10 minutes to get everything working. I can see why, you know, there's like a trend in podcasting where everyone's moving to these in-studio formats, right? And, you know, I think there's a lot of value in them, and you know especially for all these uh you know these people that live like in austin texas or new york city or la where people are just dropping by all the time that's very convenient but i live in albany new york People don't even wish their enemies come to Albany, New York. So, like, no one visits. No one visits.
Like, there's no pop-ins for guests here.
That's what you called me. It popped up as Albany. And I was like, damn, Albany?
All right. So, we have to use technology, which most of the time works good, but today decided not to. And all of that. really horrible podcast banter guys is to share with you that we have a tremendous guest and um Cole I'd love maybe just break down a little bit of you know I guess when I was when I was researching you and your story one of the things that popped out to me that I that I couldn't get my head around was um and I want to get into your sports career and that transition I want to talk a little bit about that but I'd love to start kind of right in the right in the heart of it which is you have this not for profit. It focuses on mental health. It focuses on, um, overcoming adversity, et cetera. Like what was the, what was the catalyst? What was the moment? What was the event that maybe stuck in you from when you were a kid or, or even when you were older that said, you know, this is kind of what I want to do. These are the, this is, this is the problem I want to help solve.
These are the people that I want to help support.
Yeah. Um, I really think that started happening once I got to LSU, once I was able to achieve my dream and really have that opportunity. And especially after I got drafted and looking back at those two years that, you know, I was fortunate enough to have, I think I just kind of started reminiscing on like, I always said the question, why not me? for me to get that position.
