Hey, Reader
It’s Adam… and YES we’re alive.
How are you? Truly great I hope. Fyi, you’re in our regular prayers, so you flourishing is something Nikki & I root for.
If you’ve been supporting us for a while or just sending good vibes from a distance, I really appreciate you.
COVID ripped through the house recently, leaving no permanent damage, thank God. Just a few sleepy taste buds, which works out well for cutting calories 😉
Community Update
I hope you’re as excited as I am about the Freakin Blessed™ Community and the difference we’re making, together. Relationships, wellness & mindset essentially affect every other thing in our lives.
Our LIVE conversations are never scripted, as you probably know by the way they feel when you watch. We insist on honest, down-to-earth interactions because that’s where the real value is delivered to you.
For an example of the realness check out Pauly & Alicia, with Nikki and myself..

Where are we?
[first name] people are being blessed from the ripple effect of Freakin Blessed.
[graphic] Amanda, a 26 year old newlywed told me, “You’ve given my husband a more positive outlook on life… Tuesday he brought me flowers. He has never gotten me flowers ‘just because’.”
[graphic] Tammy said,
Spotlight stories are coming. 2021 is already a breakthrough year for Freakin Blessed and it starts with a long-awaited announcement.
First, I want to say that while we were accepting memberships for a short bit (less than 3 months), we are not currently. The reason for this is because I wasn’t properly ready with our offering and I shouldn’t have started accepting registrations when I did. It was early and I jumped the gun.
Big mistake.
I had conversations with most members and the ones I couldn’t speak to, I messaged privately. I explained that when we continue the membership offering the right way, they will have 6 months to a year, complimentary depending on their initial sign-up, both as an apology and a thank you for their trust.
Everyone was gracious and understanding… just like the culture we’re building here.
Overwhelm and lack of preparedness was a theme last year, but…
[graphic for michael] I am beyond excited to officially announce the arrival of our first ever Team member, Michael Nelli. Michael will fill two major gaps in our system, Digital Media Lead and Producer/Editor of Freakin Blessed LIVE & The Freakin Blessed™ Podcast.
Michael, or Mike as I sometimes call him since no one else does, has a Bachelor’s in Broadcast Journalism. He’s also led logistics departments up to around 30 people.
Most importantly, Michael is excited to be a leader in the initial effort that will cultivate the entire Freakin Blessed brand for decades to come.
A mentor told me a while back, “Hire character, train skills”. Who cares about your skills if you’re a dirtbag. I don’t. I take it a step further with those I choose to have around and focus on the heart of the individual. If you don’t have a soft heart for lifting others and a fierce heart to fight for them & an honorable heart to do the right thing no matter what… you don’t fit here.
I believe Michael has that heart. Not to mention an incredibly steady temperament that compliments the circus in mine quite nicely 😉
His current projects:
Compiling, producing & publishing… All previous LIVE shows All unpublished podcasts & video interviews All the above – full length and shorts clips (under 5 minutes) Producer: Freakin Blessed LIVE & The Freakin Blessed™ Podcast
Mike’’s currently studying: YouTube Strategy by Sean Cannell, out of the Freakin Blessed library. (and that just means it’s my book)
It’s been almost a year that I have prayed for and visualized getting a team member just like Michael. Disclaimer: I never visualized the beard though, that’s just a bonus.
The time he is allowing me to get back will let me strengthen our communication with people like you through email and other channels. Our communication has been essentially non-existent and I apologize for that, big time.
Growth is well underway, as our team expands.
We have new podcast conversations [LINK] in the works with awesome people who refuse to “settle in” for a life that’s less than freakin blessed, plain & simple. To see our current YouTube collection, stop by the channel, watch a video that catches your eye & leave a comment letting us know anything on your mind. We’ll respond and connect with you.

Where are we going?
It’s a new day. And our faith drives us to rage against the darkness. So we’re bringing light, attitude and permission to people who want to share in the kind of kickass, fulfilled life we stand for around here.
We will continue to form the structure & strategy of Freakin Blessed as we keep producing media to inspire, equip and entertain you toward the life you want deeply in your heart. That’s life your creator has shown you previews of. It’s the life you’re supposed to be living.
Other News [put a line across???]
We believe in our world today that relationship, community & support of like-minded friends is more important than ever.
We’re completely committed to leading the charge so we can all have that place.
The environment of safe connection that the Freakin Blessed community is producing will inspire millions of stories of transformation. The question I ask is will yours be one?
We’ve already reset.
We are strategizing (trying to stay away from Big Social Media) and formulating strategy. And we will deliver real value when we know that what we’re bringing you is something to be proud of.
For these reasons, a membership community is in the works.
It’s too valuable not to. Besides, I’m following the calling of my life, not a career path or some side hustle – been there, moved on. The thing I wonder is… whose faces will be there with us. Who will we become friends with that we don’t know yet? Who has the guts to be happy?
We haven’t even begun yet but I am honored you’re reading this still, so keep a look out… there’s some serious badassery on the way.
Talk soon Adam
