From Special Forces to Politics: Nick Freitas on Liberty, Leadership, & Grassroots Change | TRS 022

Today on The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux sits down with Nick Freitas, a Green Beret combat veteran, and a pro-liberty member of the Virginia House of Delegates. He is also a proud husband and father.

Nick discusses his journey from serving in the military to transitioning into politics. He highlighted the importance of individual liberty and personal responsibility in the United States, emphasizing that real change starts at the grassroots level in communities, homes, and states, rather than relying solely on Washington, D.C. Nick also discussed his experiences in Iraq, the challenges faced by service members transitioning out of the military, and the need for men to take leadership roles in their communities.
