What do you really need to be happy? Another startup? Another spiritual method? A list of 15 books you won’t finish?
Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly building something that challenges those assumptions, a podcast that doesn’t give you answers, but creates space for your own.
In the end, we are all seeking the same, and I postulate that this is not ‘happiness’, but ‘freedom’ and ‘love’. Corny, I know, but bear with me.
Every fiber of my being wants to define ‘love’ and to define ‘freedom’. But the moment we start labeling, it all falls apart. When we say “Freedom is… this or that” - then what we are admitting is that anything that falls outside of that definition is not freedom, and not love, which simply can’t be true, as they are all encompassing.
Most importantly, definitions put these concepts into words, but they are not here to be read, but to be felt, lived, and experienced. This is what led me to start “Dmitri’s Door To Freedom”.
It is not a self-help show. It’s a slow, introspective dialogue, a place for poetic inquiry, not productivity hacks.
It is a place for us to explore together what it feels like to reach the state of “Freedom” and stay there.
It will not be a place for answers, but a place for shared introspection. We will have a dialogue together, and at the end of each episode, we will briefly meditate and decide on which actions to take in our lives.
Freedom takes many shapes and can be explored from many angles. Contemplating freedom, meditating on freedom, thinking of freedom from the point of view of leadership, team-building, excellence - all help us move in that direction.
As a ‘launch gift’, I would like to present you with a podcast that I recorded with JerAx, a two-time e-sports world champion (Dota 2), while we walked in the forests of Helsinki. Together, we explored what it takes to get to the top, how to operate with teams, and most importantly, how to find and trust your inner compass.
Please have a listen below, but before you do, I recommend taking a look at

As I am starting out, every comment, every subscriber, every opinion, every interaction - matters. Not because of the need for validation, but because for me, your reaction is a sign from the universe to either go in this direction, to modify it, or to change my approach entirely.
You are a reflection of the world for me. Your response, your interaction, allows me to play "jazz” with life itself. When you do not respond in any way, it is like playing jazz with the audience who has no instruments, and although that can be fun, I find that creating a jazz orchestra together is that much more fun.
So, please, let me know what you think, subscribe to the podcast, share it, or tell me that it is the stupidest thing you have ever heard and experienced - everything goes. Just don’t be a silent observer to live.
