Locale Lens: Olly Freedman
What’s a misconception about your position?
Some people don’t have a clue about what I do or the industry I work in, and others in the industry know exactly what I do! The biggest misconception is that it’s quite easy, when in fact it isn’t and it takes time and effort.
What's an accomplishment you're really proud of?
As a younger man, getting a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu (at 25), and as an older man, taking up Ice Hockey at 44 despite not being able to ice skate very well – I had a very steep learning curve!
How would you spend 30 minutes of free time?
I love to meditate or exercise while watching a YouTube video.
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
I’m a night owl, but I can persuade myself to be an early bird if need be!
What is your motto or personal mantra?
Always find happy thoughts. With a positive mind and outlook, challenges are much easier to overcome.
