Nobody’s perfect. Matter of fact, if you really dig deep and think about it, we are all pretty messed up. We’ve all had a series of events in our life affect us to feel like damaged goods. These days, thanks to therapists and drug companies, if you don’t feel broken in one way or another, you don’t feel.
Because of this, most men go through life carrying a huge amount of weight on their shoulders. We feel responsible for loss brothers, dead homeboys, tough times we put our spouses through and all that. The thing about us men, is that we don’t really talk much. most of us are carrying huge burdens around but our pride won’t let us ask for help.
I know, I used to be that way. I carried huge secrets around with me. I was ashamed that I had got in trouble with the law. I was ashamed that I once had a drug addiction. I didn’t want anyone to know, so I lived in secret. I walked around feeling like I was lying to the world and not who they thought I was. It was heavy man…
But in 2014, I met this dude outside of Las Vegas named Garrett J White. I call him GJW for short. I’ll never forget the day we met. It was at my pal Kevin Nation’s home. We were both there for a very exclusive, high end mastermind thing. It cost a small fortune to belong to this mastermind and about two hours into it, GJW gets up and announces he’s leaving.
He stands up and says “My wife just texted me and I’m going to go home and have sex with her”
WTF? What was this crazy ass dude doing? He paid thousands of dollars to be here and he’s headed back home to make love to the woman he’s married to? This guy is a nut job, I thought to myself. But there was something about him that made me want to find out more about him.
I reached out to him a week or so later and he started telling me that I was not playing at full speed. He proceeded to tell me I was playing safe and being scary with my life. After a short exchange of ideas, I agreed to come out to Laguna Beach, California to attend what he calls “Warrior Week”
I can’t really explain what happened at Warrior Week. It’s transformational. I can tell you that we had rigorous early morning workouts on the beach. We were dropped in the freezing Pacific. After I attended, they added fighting, jumping out of helicopters and their own HQ. I can only imagine.
The reason I tell you that story, is when you flash forward to where we are now GJW has helped 100s of men just like me. He’s helped guy save their marriage, become better fathers, be better business leaders, and stop playing small. It takes a special type of person, a Warrior, to lead us alpha males. We don’t like to admit anything is wrong, that would signal weakness. Which we can’t have.
Garret J White has been there and he’s helping men overcome their issues, through his experiences. GJW has been through a lot. From college and semi-pro athlete, to cancer ridden and hospitalized. His story is one like many of us, that includes many ups and downs. He went from being on top of the world in the mortgage business to losing it all in the crash. When he says “lose it all” he means sanity, masculinity, his wife, his kids, his money, his employees and his self respect.
Garret bounced back and now leads a revolution called Wake Up Warrior. As a part of the Warrior Brotherhood, I get to see GJW change people’s lives on the daily. He’s inspiring men to be better in the core four areas of their lives. Their bodies, their businesses, their families and their spiritual connections.
Jon Paramore says Warrior has been the most realistic wake up call he has ever experienced. Ryan D Lee says it’s the most eye opening experience he’s ever been through. These men had no idea they could see such dramatic changes in their lives in such a short amount of time.
Most of us dudes come from humble beginnings. We’ve suffered on this planet more than most. GJW understands that and helps alpha male types break through the mental barrier that’s holding them back. Turns out, you can run a lot faster through life, when you’re not carrying a ton of unnecessary weight on your shoulders.
