People From Diverse Industries Endorse Don Freda and Aspire
"As a trainer and speaker myself, I can wholeheartedly endorse the Aspire Program. Corporate training and employee development is expensive and takes a lot of valuable time. The Aspire Program video format is inexpensive and NOT time consuming. Don had a major impact on me in my early development as a business leader and I still draw value from my interactions with him today. At Internet Mastery we teach online success principles. Through Aspire Don will expose your people to wonderful powerful ideas to help your company reach it's full potential."

I really love the Aspire Program. I worked directly with Mr. Freda several years ago and I still utilize many of the skills and knowledge I learned from him.

I've had the opportunity to work with Don on various projects. Don is a great communicator with natural story telling abilities. His method of using everyday examples that everyone can relate to will hold your interest, guaranteed! Don is a very well rounded intellectual, that does not seem detached but rather has the ability to connect with everyone. As part of a high school mentoring program that I facilitate, I had young men and women listen to Don's Aspire trainings and they were captivated. I encourage everyone to subscribe to Aspire, it will definitely help your Team to succeed."

"Don was the single reason I took a job with a company called CareerTV, where he was doing some consulting work for the CEO at the time. I didn’t have as much experience as the other applicants but Mr. Freda saw something in me and gave me a shot. With Don's training as my foundation, I became the top earning Sales Rep for the company. Also, Don is well rounded and a dedicated family man who’s been married for over 50 years and has a close family orientation – he’s been able to accomplish both and he can help you do the same. Don is the first person I would reach out to, not only for Professional but personal advice as the guy is extremely attentive and insightful. Plus, since I do acting on the side I think it's way cool that he is an independent film producer. All I can tell you is that through Aspire your team will undoubtedly see IMPROVED RESULTS."

“Mr. Freda introduced us to the Aspire concept in late 2023. At Princeton we make every effort to bring in outside speakers especially for our MBA candidates. During a discussion on Continuing Education he covered the idea of short high powered video “training” once a week. Unlike many business owners that get a little tongue-tied, Don is an accomplished speaker and several of us here are happy Aspire subscribers. It’s so inexpensive, it's hard to imagine a better value for your employees.

"Having played football with Don in High School I know him to be a tenacious and determined individual. Many years later my colleague Eleanor Pomante and I were searching for an opportunity. Don suggested we start our own company and with his help and guidance we did, and we have never looked back. It was not something we would have considered but Don and his son Don III helped us every step of the way, forming the company, developing the business plan. Their ideas and our hard work set us up for success and it has been wonderful working for ourselves and we have Don to thank for all our accomplishments. Don never wanted any compensation or credit for helping us launch our own company and it gives me great pleasure to be able to endorse his Aspire Program now. I can honestly say that I never met anyone that knows as much about business and about success as Don Freda and you can tap into that reservoir now for your people through Aspire."

"Don Freda is an excellent teacher and trainer and he can help anyone achieve excellence. I strongly recommend his Aspire Personal Development Program. If you go by results, he is among the most accomplished I have ever met- not because of billions in sales that his businesses have racked up nor by the 100’s of millionaires that credit their growth directly or indirectly to his training and inspiration - but - by the many lives of both men and women that are making a huge impact in their families and their communities that will be influenced positively for generations. I can heartily endorse the Aspire program for anyone who wants to achieve more in their business. Don has a way of helping people see their potential and he offers many specific ideas for improved Team performance.”

"I have had the blessing of a couple key mentors in my business career. I am happy to say that I got to work with Mr. Freda very closely for many years. During that time, I learned a great deal from Don in many facets of business and in life. I know that Don has had a permanent and lasting impact on thousands of people in his career. One of his key skills is the ability to boil things down to what really matters. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone who engages with the "Freda Philosophy" through Aspire will benefit and it will help your Team to excel."

"I have known Don Freda since we were 10 years old (over 60 years!). Don hired me in 1975 as he was launching Commercial Utility Consultants and he gave me a piece of the business. We worked directly and closely for many years and laid the foundation for our company to become the success that it is today. Among other things, Don taught me how to sell (which I had never done before) which has led to our company serving over 10,000 corporate clients. We have remained close friends (including many basketball games at the Freda Arena in years past) and colleagues and CUC has used Mr. Freda as a consultant on many occasions. Now you can get exposure to Don's thinking, philosophy and training for your entire Team by subscribing to Aspire. It will not only be enjoyable for everyone; it will be tremendously beneficial."

And I always find value there when I do. My Team loves it and we've had some of our best meeting discussing the Aspire modules. Your people will get a lot out of it.

"Don Freda and I worked together during the early days of the Internet in a Company I started called College Club. Almost instantly Don built a nationwide organization that get us millions of users and thousands of merchant partners. Don't ability to communicate goals and then fortify them with specific actionable plans and training was acutely evident. He's also a man of character and deep family ties. His business accomplishments were achieved while being an active engaged father and loving husband. Learning from Don will go a long way for your people and through Aspire they'll have that opportunity."
