The Freddy and Friends Podcast
Freddy & Friends host | Drummer • Singer-Songwriter | Health nut | Helping people navigate life without the noise.
Freddy & Friends is a podcast about real conversations — not self-help fluff or guru talk. Hosted by drummer and singer-songwriter Freddy, each episode dives into the lives of musicians, creators, and everyday legends who are figuring things out, just like the rest of us.
With years of experience touring, recording, and living the creative grind, Freddy brings a grounded perspective to topics like discipline, health, mindset, and the behind-the-scenes of making a meaningful life.
No scripts, no hype — just honest stories, lessons learned the hard way, and a few laughs along the way.
For anyone trying to cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.
