Self-Awareness is the key

It's not enough to have the insight

You have to have the context and ability to observe your patterns in order for the insight to take hold and inject itself into the far reaches of your consciousness

When you gain the upper levels of self-awareness

The normal, everyday insights and A-Ha! moments

That may seem inconsequential at first,

Will explode in your brain like a neuro-connectivity atom bomb

Filling in the gaps in your understanding of so many things

You seriously feel like SuperStar Rainbow Mario

It feels like a superpower.

I can show you how to reach the upper levels of awareness

Using the 7 Realms of Creation to open up your mind and body to the energy

And the frameworks of the 3 Avatars of Evolution

To chart your course to becoming the man you envision

Comment "WAHOO" below and I'll DM you more information...

I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated…

And it ruined my life.

It set the bar so high.

Because once I retired out of sports?

I was a nobody.

And my life?

Fell apart.

Because I lost who I was…

I didn’t have a field to storm…

I didn’t have thousands of screaming fans…

So I disappeared.

Became a nobody.

And that’s when I realized…

I’m not a soldier on the field anymore.

But the thing is?

I shouldn’t be.

Because now…

It’s time to become a king.

But in today’s world…

Masculinity is taboo.

Or is it?

Because I discovered something amazing…

And it helped me become the king I am today.

I don’t wish I was in the locker room anymore…

I don’t miss the days of playing on the field anymore…

Because now I have a bigger purpose in life.

I finally made it.

And if that resonates with you…

I might be able to help.

Because I’m thinking about putting something together…

Showing former athletes and soldier’s how to re-integrate into the new western world as KINGS.

So if you want the details…

Reply with “WARRIOR” and I’ll shoot you a message.

Also, happy b-day @bradbarnes11 - 😘😘😘😘

With the kind of work that I do in person,
...
It was hard to conceive of how I could transfer that amount of value into an online delivery method...
...
Jaqui was brave enough to be my first trial run client
...
Exclusively over zoom!
...
After two months, it's safe to say that it has been a real joy
...
Jaqui is dropping dress sizes,
- feeling more energy through the day
- much more confident in her balance and stability
- and enjoys the FREEDOM and SAFETY of working out from home with a coach that can push her to the limit safely and effectively.
...
And also safe to say that it's definitely possible to deliver a kick-ass workout experience over a virtual platform.
...
If you've ever been interested in working together to achieve whatever your health, fitness, and life-fulfilling goals might be,
...
Hit me up and let's do a quick zoomy-zoom and see if virtual coaching might work for you.
...
P.S. I'm offering discounts to the first 5 clients, and I don't think I can take on any more than that, so if you have an itch, get on it and let's get going!

Change and personal transformation is the Call.

If you feel the call for change...
Take a breath...

"There's so many ways to act"...

Choose the action that will move you forward

It doesn't matter which... There are many ways to change

There are many paths to greatness...

Feeling burnout coming? Chill, bro. Read on...

At the end of 2019, I took burnout and adrenal dysfunction to a new level.

I ended up not moving from my couch for a full week, experiencing fever and night sweats, nausea, and disabling lower back pain.

How did I get to the point of total bodily failure?

Stress. Stimulants. Lack of awareness. More stress.

Back in February of '19 I was working non-stop, building my in-person client-base, and also spending every free second developing a movement-based assessment and programming system I called the Movement Mastery Method.

From the outside things were peachy. I brought in 10k+ for the first 3-months of 2019 and was building my intellectual property that was going to launch my business to even greater heights of "success".

But by the end of the summer, most of my clients and all of that money was gone.

I was totally over-working myself, which led to resentment of success itself. I lost all passion for my work, and it certainly showed - looking back, I don't know how my clients could have missed it.

I started distracting myself with anything new or old that gave me the joy that would balance out the hate I had for my job at the time.

I felt trapped - a hamster on a wheel - grinding, hustling, grinding, day-in and day-out, with no view of any kind of end in sight.

By Christmas, my body broke and I had a complete psychological meltdown.

I spent the last $300 I had to see a NMD, and found out I had severe hypothyroidism, testosterone equal to that of an 80-year old man, and complete adrenal fatigue. I could fall immediately asleep - at any time of day - even after taking a 15mg adderall and a full Bang energy drink (300mg of caffeine per can).

I'm grateful it hit me so hard, because that week off after New Year's allowed me to ditch the caffeine, get my thyroid functioning again, and my "dark night of the soul" reinvigorated my passion for helping others move well and take back control of their health.

9 months later, and there's one tool that has had the greatest impact in avoiding that burnout trap - meditation. It's given me the greatest gift of all: awareness. Try it.

**A Day in the Life - Conversations with Chronic Pain**

Dude (D): B-Day! What's up, man? It's good to see you, how you been? Did you bust up your neck again?

Brandon (B): Ohhh, it's no big deal, I don't even know how it happened!

I've been getting nauseous and dizzy from what's called Cervicogenic Dizziness but dude, it's OK... Really!!

It's not even that bad!

D: but, B-Day, you've wrapped an ice pack around your neck with elastic hair-ties - you sure you're good?

B: Oh YEAH (pfft) I'm GREAT!

Can't you see how happy I am?

I mean, I can't turn my head so I have to turn my entire upper body - or swivel my computer chair - to look right or left...

But it's all good! You know, as long as I don't have to drive anywhere or say no to anything...

Oh, and I have a constant feeling of *pressure* in my lower cervical vertebrae like it needs to *pop* ... and there's this sneaky little pain just inside my right shoulder blade that is at the forefront of my mind at all times, but it's really more annoying than painful, ya know?

[...looks at me with one eyebrow raised...]

D: ohhhkay dude, whatever you say... are you on somethin' bro? You're fidgeting like you're at the end of a 3-week bender, like your nervous system is shortin' out or somethin'

B: No worries Bro! It's SO funny, ya know? I just have to keep moving every second because it's the only way to distract myself from the pain in my back and overwhelming desire to snap my own neck! HA!

I know, funny, right?

Well, this has been SUPER great, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!

[...goes in for the bro hug...]

[...clap hands, pull it in for the real thing, and B-Day's shoulder connects a little too hard, causing his traps and levator scapulae to spasm and light up like electrocution...]

GRREAARGGGHHG.G..G...GOOD To see you my brotha!!
