What happens when entrepreneurs strip away the highlight reels and get real? Cut The Tie Podcast finds out. Every episode, host Thomas Helfrich sits down with gritty founders who’ve battled their way to success by cutting the ties holding them back—think toxic habits, crumbling relationships, or business-killing doubts.
You’ll hear the unvarnished truth: their darkest moments, the ‘aha’ that changed everything, and how it reshaped their lives, relationships, and bottom lines. This isn’t about generic advice—it’s about the thoughts, emotions, and hard-won victories that inspire YOU to act.
From rapid-fire wisdom to shameless plugs, each story leaves you with a lesson to cut your own ties—whether they’re Monsters threatening your survival, Majors slowing your growth, or Minors draining your edge.
Thomas, who turned his own chaos into a 7-figure empire, brings his proven Cut The Tie Freedom Framework to every conversation, showing how vulnerability and courage unlock freedom in Health, Relationships, and Business. Ready to break free and 2-10x your own journey in 90 days? Start here.
