Friedberg's coaching philosophy is move on from the past to focus on the present to create the future.

Friedberg argues humans have incredible undefined potential that most people never realize due to social and economic barriers.

Friedberg argues no human has ever lived up to their true capacity and human agency is limitless.
“One thing I believe to be 100% true is that no human being that's ever been alive has ever lived up to their true capacity as a human. Like human agency is limitless. Limitless. Limitless.”
