The Freedom Stack Podcast · Hosted by Ned Markey
Real conversations about
building a life
you designed.
Ned sits down with dentists, investors, entrepreneurs, and adventurers to talk honestly about what it actually takes to stop inheriting your life — and start building one layer at a time.
Freedom is not a
destination. It’s a
framework.
The Freedom Stack Podcast is Ned’s long-form conversation series exploring what it looks like to actually build the nine freedoms — not as theory, but as real decisions made by real people under real pressure.
Each episode features a guest who has confronted one of the nine layers directly: a dentist who restructured his practice to reclaim his time, an investor who converted active income into passive assets, an adventurer who refused to save experiences for retirement. Conversations are candid, practical, and specific.

Every episode
covers real ground.
No motivational platitudes. No generic success advice. Each conversation explores a specific freedom layer through a specific person’s real experience.
Money & Assets
How high-income professionals convert earned income into permanent assets. Real estate, practice ownership, and the specific decisions that moved people from income-dependent to financially free.
Time & Schedule Design
How to reduce dependence on clinical hours without reducing income. Associates, systems, ownership transitions, and the structural changes that actually create time freedom.
Adventure & Experience
Stories from the field: heli-skiing Wyoming, sailing the BVI, hiking the Teton Crest, leading mission teams across four continents. What these experiences teach about freedom and priorities.
Books & Creativity
Behind the scenes of Flip the Script and The Freedom Stack — how the ideas developed, what writing taught Ned about Layer Six, and how creating something beyond your profession changes you.
Mission & Impact
Two decades of dental mission work across four continents. What it means to use professional skills in service of people without access to care — and how this kind of giving requires freedom to sustain.
Life Design & Strategy
Practice transitions, career pivots, geographic freedom, and what it looks like to deliberately design the next 10 years instead of just reacting to them as they arrive.
Have a story
worth telling?
Let’s talk.
Ned is looking for guests who have confronted one of the nine freedom layers directly and have something concrete to say about it. Not a polished success story — a real account of what the decisions actually looked like.
