What if your self-worth wasn’t tied to your work, your grades, or your business success? In this empowering talk, Madison Paige challenges the hustle-at-all-costs narrative and introduces the Freepreneur Lifestyle—a mindset that values balance, identity, and joy as fuel for sustainable success. It’s not about doing less, it’s about doing life better. Madison Paige is a business growth strategist and host of a top 2% globally ranked podcast. With over eight years of experience, she has guided more than 500 entrepreneurs in transforming their product-based businesses into standout brands. Madison is the founder of Madison Paige & Co., where she champions the "Freepreneur" lifestyle—emphasizing sustainable growth, community-driven marketing, and personal freedom over relentless hustle.
Her entrepreneurial journey began early, managing her family's adventure resort by age 17. After facing the unexpected loss of that business, Madison redefined success on her own terms. Today, she empowers founders to build scalable, freedom-filled businesses through strategic advisory, digital programs, and her widely acclaimed podcast. When she's not advising clients, Madison travels the country in a converted mini school bus, embodying the freedom-focused lifestyle she advocates. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
