I need you to understand this. This isn't about fitness today This is about total recreation. It's about the hardship and the things that come up in your life Sometimes and you think something's impossible and Aaron's gonna tell some stories today And really Aaron has a heart for for veterans for people that have served But he honestly has a heart for everybody and he's helped me totally transform my life If you guys have noticed my fitness has changed Dramatically, okay, what does that mean?

So Aaron. I love you, brother number one tell us a little about who you are and let's start I'm a Marine veteran and I Say that because it's true, right when I had Nothing in my life and had no direction. My salvation was the Marine Corps and I grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida really broken as a kid no direction pretty common with a lot of other people these days and I had to figure out where my life was going. So I chose the Marine Corps. I had a buddy who was a Varsity football player and when he went into the Marine Corps and came back after boot camp I saw a person who blew me away this hard-ass dude who reminded me a Goldberg from WWE now came back as this This man this this streamlined dude who was so focused so Intense without saying a word just looking at him what you could tell he was a completely different person I knew I wanted that so I joined the Marine Corps and it taught me everything I needed to know about myself that I never even knew existed. So I I thought I thought Marine Corps boot camp was Physical and it was more mental than anything. It was the most mental thing that I've ever done to be honest with you and Going back to teamwork understanding camaraderie loyalty brotherhood It brought me to a sense of wow I understand that now in a way that I never did before and then coming here with you guys and seeing something that I've never even seen before including being in the military is pretty mind-blowing Um and number one so obviously Aaron served okay, you're over in Iraq for what five years or yeah Yeah, I reckon Afghanistan about five years total and you know He's been through some crazy stuff And you know like Aaron's gonna tell us today what Aaron wants to tell us today because this is just a talk This is it sitting training This is us having a conversation and by the way if you really want to get close to me, right? Let me introduce you to one of my really good friends so that way you can understand the people that I roll with Okay, Aaron's a type of guy that has been through a lot of adversity, right? So let's go before 18 years old 17 years old you joined the Marine Corps I just took Aaron on a vacation to Mexico. He went to Mexico me and my team we left with about 70 of us and Aaron goes this first vacation. I've ever been on He's 43 years old. He said this is the first vacation. I've ever been on I said, what do you mean? And he goes dude. I got in the Marine Corps. I left the second I graduated high school, right? So I want you to know some right? This guy has worked hard his whole life Okay, and whether he should have or should not have taken a vacation. He spent his whole life serving This guy's a wealth of knowledge. He's a physical specimen of what it means to take care of yourself and be in great shape But but he gives his life Teaching other people how to be extremely fit, which is incredible Now he runs Elliott army the fitness division and he's getting Thousands of people across the country in incredible shape, but but I want you to know this before this guy stood here, right? Let's go back to when you said you're young yet a yet a broken family So your mom and dad gets divorced, right? And that's like in seventh grade or sixth grade or something, right? Okay, so so tell us what happened in seventh grade if anybody right now struggles struggles important when people are struggling I know you as a veteran and this is gonna be something we'll get into in a minute I know people commit suicide. I know people think they can't deal with stuff anymore Everybody needs to understand that like dude, you're gonna have hardship But to me that hardship is made to turn you into a coach to help others that go through hardship And if you can work your way through it, you can work you can help others work their way through it People sometimes discredit how valuable they are Sometimes people discredit that things that happen in their life Happen for a reason so that you can actually get through that and help someone else, right? Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help Do me a favor. I'm gonna tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now 918-210-0254 918-210-0254. I'll help you with whatever you need. I got your back for life Let's get back to the video 100% okay, so so why don't you tell us about some some ugly stuff, right? And that way as people looked at you today, and they're like man this guy's trained, you know the rock He's trained all these guys. He's you know, I think it will Smith was one of them or who is it Josh Burl and Jamie Fox Yeah, Jamie Fox I mean my point is is he goes to this list of people and I'm like a Sylvester Salone and I'm like man Let's go back to your ugly side Because everybody's always talking about their good side So if you want to know how me and my buddies roll like we like talking about talking about the dark stuff that we've been through Because sometimes that's what reminds you that man. You know what that's a cookie in the cookie jar, man I overcame that dude like I'm dangerous, right? Okay, so let's talk about some overcoming and let's try to connect with some people Maybe some hard stuff they've had in their life and about how like dude today's day one like we're gonna restart, okay? So let's go back seventh grade walk us through what life looked like and then and then maybe some maybe some hardships after you got into the Marine Corps So my life growing up as a kid through fifth grade was perfect. I say perfect. We were Porsche, but When you when your life is good, you know, like being poor doesn't really matter if you're happy you're happy and sixth grade my parents started to go through a divorce and it just really affected me in a way that I Got depressed I really turned inward and I went to a school that was Low low class I would say your typical public school which full of bullies and so I Got bullied I had that you know, I had that That you hear about in the movies about people stealing your lunch money and kicking your ass and that was me And I at some point now here's what's crazy though I'm gonna say something because this crazy cuz now, you know, how tall are you? I'm 6 3 right now He's 6 3 the guy runs around lean at you know, 230 240 now when you're your What exactly did you do in the Marines where you were telling me you guys carried those heavy caskets? What's that called body bears world famous body bears Paul bears for the Marine Corps? Yeah, you know You were what at that point time 280 to 70 guys How could this guy get bullied and picked on do listen to me what that proves is that nobody knows who you're gonna be yet Okay, so today marks a new day at that point They didn't know you were gonna be a freaking killer right like that that did that one there But they know now they they were the catalyst for it. They uh, they they They showed me something that I Don't know if I needed to see it, but it brought me into a place where I Was on rock bottom rights. I hung I started fighting back. I hung out with the wrong crowd I got into drugs seventh grade I Overdosed on cocaine and speed and almost died I was in intensive care you know, no one really know what to do with me so Coming coming out of that. Do you remember who saved your life? There's a paramedic. I my mom keeps in touch with him and I've not talked to him because I don't really I'm not been home as much as I should have been home Yeah, but but your family for your family still remembers and you know my family still knows this guy My mom keeps in touch with him He drops a note every now and then to check on me to see how I'm doing guys that was that was that was you know 35 years ago, you know, and that was like, you know, 30 years ago So I want you to think about something. All right There's the day you born the day you die and the day your life changes forever as we talk about like struggles and dark stuff And I want you to share some stuff with this that people can be like damn man, you know what? Like did you pull through that? Like like that's it like today our goal today is to help you number one understand like conversations that we have that help us grow And number two to welcome you into the brotherhood Right like so like you need to know that a lot of you out there have been looking for your tribe You've been looking for your team. Okay notice. It says Elliot army, which is an army, which you're invited into it Okay, my whole life. I want to feel accepted. I want to find my people right and you know I was broken. I was lost and he was broken. He was lost, you know And isn't it crazy man how we all end up coming together and we do kick-ass shit because the powers in the team and the story Yeah, and in the story and by the way all the shit you've been through. I don't judge. He could tell me anything I don't judge him. I'm like bam man. That's awesome, dude Everything that happened that was horrible. That was bad. That was sad all that stuff It's developed him into this awesome person today. That's qualified you as a coach It really has because anybody you talk to you understand what they're going through you've suffered They've been through so much pain. It actually makes you qualified to understand where someone's at so you could understand I See so many people that haven't been through darkness and they're trying to coach people like they've been through it They don't understand. You know I'm saying the kids today are Lost and I was in that same position a long time ago lost no direction and I just turned into a Fucking asshole like I turn into the kid that you didn't want your kid hanging out with and looking back on it I can't believe that was me but it it brought me through a whole Litany of Issues that my parents had a face and I created hardship on my whole family I created hardship on so many other people who didn't even know me because or just because I was an asshole I created trauma in their life and Looking back on it. I became a bully so It's it's ironic now when I go back home And I remember some of these these people who used to beat my ass and and take my money and chase me and all this And they're the ones now who are you know standing on the the 7-Eleven steps begging for money or you know Working some mindless job that's going nowhere because they have no ambition no purpose so all through my my school years I Just thought I knew what was best for me and I did what I wanted I could give two shits about what my mom said what what the law said didn't matter and That that that epiphany that that light bulb moment when I realized that I had to do something with my life That was that was the turning point I knew that I needed to change and the Marine Corps was my salvation and literally when I stepped on those yellow footprints at Paris Island, South Carolina I knew I was in a different world. I knew it and I felt it I have the chills right now talking about it because I remember it so vividly and I knew I was in for a world of shit When those drill instructors came marching up yelling in my face can spit on me, you know I'm looking at them in the eye, which is something you don't do anyone who's a Marine when you go To boot camp you don't look at a drill instructor in the face. I don't know how it is now But I know back then it was pretty bad. So That was where my first transformation officially started That's where I learned how to really with my mind in a way that I could be hard as nails And if I wanted to do something I would do it. I don't care what you say I don't care what you say. I'll fucking make it happen and that's been my life I I felt like I've never needed a vacation, but at the same time all I've done is just work This work ethic that was instilled in me Good and bad not taking vacations like you talk about going every 90 days resetting you go you go hard for 90 days You take you give yourself a reset. I didn't do that. I never knew how to do that. All I knew was work Um, I was never really close with family. I never I never had the structure that a lot of people Have these days. So the only thing I knew was The gym and work and that's that's literally been my whole life The foundation of my life is anchored in fitness Which is why I'm so passionate about what I do when I get up on stage and talk when I'm when I'm talking to a person who's So sick, they're probably gonna die like I take the shit so seriously But uh like in this day and age right now we need strong leaders and we need health more than we ever have And uh being here with you and doing what we're doing right now is freaking like priceless Above all the hollywood superficiality because it means nothing at the end of the day Yeah, no, I want to say something dude By the way, if anybody right now watching this is Resignating with Aaron right and you're like man, you know what dude like like I need a brotherhood With a guy like that Um number one Aaron trains me he trains my wife. My wife is in phenomenal shape. Okay, and this guy's done it Okay, um, I've taken it 43 years old. I've taken my life I'm at seven and a half percent body fat. This guy like tells me what to eat. How to do it, dude I was drinking energy drinks I was doing a lot of that, you know, I shouldn't have been doing and I'm just saying like because I like run really hard and he's like you don't need that, dude He started telling me how to do certain things He gave me a blueprint basically and he goes look if I can trust you as a client and you'll do what I say Dude, you'll have more energy than you know what to do with I drink literally two cups of coffee a day And I just listen to what he says. I work out my business is exploding. My family's on fire. I love who I am If if you're watching this and you're like, dude, I want to train with this guy number one He will train you. Okay. Like he will train you he has a 90 day total recreation program You see the number on the screen. You see that you just text that number You text that number say Aaron. I want to do your 90 day total recreation program. Write this down Dude, literally in three months, this dude will totally recreate your body. He's done it to mine He took me from like 12 percent to seven half percent to my wife from like 16 percent, which he was lean Now she's 11 percent, but but just the way I look the way I feel I'm healthy internally and externally Dude, it's totally crazy my mindset But if you text that number dude 90 day total recreation $597 Dude like you can wipe your ass with that. So I just want to say if you're watching this Come into the brotherhood. You'll be on zoom calls wiki with him. He'll write out your diet He'll write out your nutrition nutrition. He'll write out how you're going to work out Dude, I've watched this guy and I want to I want to talk about a couple things But number one, I do want to talk about like like what are some things that you went through in the military? That's one number two. Tell us about like the hollywood Deal for a minute and then number three. I want to know how when somebody's like I'm not going to say facts. I'm not fat shaming anybody but I'm saying like they're fat They're out of shape. They don't like who they are. They haven't been take care of their health Like dude, like how you can turn someone around like that. I've watched your transformations, dude And it's insane and you do it like really really fast. You get people off medication Like like so let's talk about three other things. Okay. Um, so so number one, let's let's go to um Let's go to the military for a minute, right? So you get in And let's kind of run through some things good and bad that you went through Yeah, I uh, so I on my first deployment to okinawa japan camp Schwab I fell in love with fitness. That's where this whole journey began for me So this is what I say is where my second transformation began When you're deployed you either fall in love with weights you pt or you turn into an alcoholic I don't drink so I dove into to fitness in the gym. This is when muscle tech was big j cutler, you know all the You know all the the massive bodybuilders and that that was my goal. I wanted to be a pro bodybuilder um, but I say god and and marine corps had other plans so When most people Would go out on the weekends I went to the vitamin shop I lay on the couch and I'd read books about exercise and nutrition supplementation food and I was just constantly on this this journey to evolve into something That I never knew I could I could be right so My kneecap used to be bigger than my quad. That's how that's how skinny I was And to see where I'm at now It's pretty incredible, but along the journey. There's been uh some highs and some lows My marine corps career was very different than most other marines just in the fact that I had some special duties Um, like Andy was talking about I was uh the section leader for the marine corps body bearers based out of aith and I in washington dc It's a very special unit. I say it's my most humble duty because When you're laying someone to rest That's the last image a family's gonna have their loved one and I took that As seriously as you can take anything so my marines I instilled that same discipline in them And you know, this is where The little twisted side of me comes into play, right? So I want to keep things With with a lot of perspective because if you're doing something every day funerals that you can become complacent So we'd go to the funeral homes every now and then and we'd we'd go to the You know into the freezers and we we'd look at the bodies. We'd watch the cremations. We'd we'd see people Being embalmed Just to remember what's going into the casket There's a there's a there's a human being in there who was alive at one time who had a family So there's a morbid side of that, but there's a very honorable side of it. So But that's where I got even bigger like when you're carrying caskets around all day and you go out to our international cemetery You got to march over tombstones and you got to do it flawlessly because They're marines and you want to you want to you want to pay that final respect um and then moving over to uh To to work at the pentagon doing security for general pace was something that was Pretty surreal to me here. I was this fucking asshole kid Who was getting in trouble who almost died who was beating people up? And then here I am now with a top secret sci clearance the highest clearance you can get at the pentagon protecting the second highest ranking officer in the united states military at the white house every week My own parking spot at the pentagon like crazy Hey guys, what's going on? It's andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help Do me a favor and tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now 918-210-0254 918-210-0254 I'll help you with whatever you need. I got your back for life. Let's get back to the video Hey, so just somebody right now Maybe maybe today Remember the day you die the day you were born the day your life changes forever. Maybe that's that day Right. I think it is Okay, so no matter what you've been through. Okay Everybody is an overcomer. Would you agree? You just got to make the decision and um, maybe you need a team to run with Okay So make sure you text us if you need a team to run with okay, and by the way Everybody knows my cell phone number the 918-210-0254 918-210-0254 if you're looking for a brotherhood Let's go If you're looking to get in great shape and fitness And I want to say this when you are struggling when you were going through hardship Um, you come out of the military, right? You said you had a plan you were going to do all this stuff And you ended up homeless. Am I right? Like the plan didn't work right the plan backfired in my face in the worst possible way So I want everybody think about this if your plan backfires in your face. You're homeless Let's go to where Aaron was right? I'm skipping through some stuff because me and Aaron are going to be talking weekly Okay, we're talking about a lot of different stuff um But but today I kind of want you guys to get to know Aaron and this guy I run with everywhere Travels the world with me goes everywhere with me me and my wife. I mean, it's here with my team We're at Scottsdale, Arizona and our compound. We're all we're all here rather if you're in Arizona You're welcome to come by Okay, but I need you to know this that when you were broke and broken spirit soul heart Plans don't work What did you lean into you said when you went to okinawa? Is that right? You decided is either alcoholic or fitness you found fitness you found your love for it You started understanding that it made you feel a certain way It was like your superpower, right made you feel valuable even when there was no value You felt value out of that when you take it when you're taking care of yourself when you're broken Tell us how how did you rebound? Right, how did you come back? Tell us how you came back alive through fitness because maybe somebody's like well fitness is to get in shape They have no idea it is not about getting in shape. It is about way more than that. Am I right? Fitness fitness is a mindset so I ended up spending a long time overseas in a in a theater of operations that was very hostile and When you spend that much time away in that environment, you're going to come back inevitably a little bit different You're going to have to deal with things that are just literally seared in your mind that will never go away So coming back with this plan I had so much hope that I was going to finally be able to reintegrate into society Not even reintegrate just integrate because this was the first time As an adult that I would be a student because because you don't know anything because you left high school and went to boot camp Military has been my whole life up to this point. So when I came back, you thought you were just going to jump right in Boom. Yeah In my mind everything was easy. It was it was just going to happen And then as life throws curveballs here was my first massive one because I was I was already twisted in the head and I needed to ground myself So when I when I when I moved to new Orleans, I had this plan that You know, I this job was lined up. I was going to Really work on grounding myself making money and just learning about how to be a civilian In that plan that job that I was supposed to have Literally fell through almost immediately when I got there So I didn't know really what to do. I Tried like hell to find work But in many cases it as a veteran Um in the civilian world Human resources don't know how to look at a veteran's resume Therefore when you're trying to get hired You have a specific skill set that most companies Most organizations don't understand when they look at it on paper. It's written differently It's in different language. So they just brush it off and they go to the language they can understand So I was and I was trying like hell to to find work with With no luck Meeting bad people along the way that made this whole situation even worse So long story short of the whole thing I lost everything I had. I had a file for bankruptcy. I was living out of this Toyota Corolla and uh My mind was broken. My soul was broken. I was struggling to find purpose Um, I was ready to go back overseas because I'm like there's no way I'm gonna go through all this and then now I'm gonna be a bum um But I had some people who were close to me who you know recommended or not recommended They fucking told me like don't you you better not go back Like you're good at one thing. Everyone knows you're good at one thing and that's fitness. So out of desperation I turned to My anchor and it's something I never wanted to share with anybody but out of out of desperation I did I I got certified as a personal trainer And uh, this is the destiny piece, right? So this is where all of a sudden now I Staying true to who I am with fitness I just landed right in the middle of the film industry the gym that I the gym that I started training people out of Was the gym that zack effron walked into doing a movie about a marina iraq veteran called the lucky one I'll laugh about it because it's a nicola sparks film, but Still it's it that was my entrance into film and tv He came in we talked They brought me on set. I met the director and producer I was his technical advisor That's where him and I created this really strong relationship that would last for several years after but what I realized was There were more films and tv shows being shot in louisiana during this time than anywhere else in the world So I going back to the destiny piece of of everything happening the next transformation was now taking place um but still my mind my mind was Was not where it needed to be because I was from a combat environment to homeless to now into hollywood And I was oscillating into all these different areas But I think it just goes to show if you can find one thing That you can always turn to no matter what and you can stay true to it Chances are whatever that is at some point is going to massively come into your life and save you Save you or give you life or help you navigate through different obstacles that Without it you wouldn't be able to go through anchor and purpose means so much and and I would not be here right now if I didn't have that So fitness was your anchor. Yeah, and then obviously your purpose your purpose is to transform people Right and guys, I want to tell you as being around erin what I learned is that the Transformation he got paid a lot of money to do in hollywood. They'd say hey, we got a movie coming up in 90 days We need this person to look like this. If not, it's going to cost us hundreds of millions of dollars We're counting on you to make it happen That was a transformation that erin loved the competitiveness of and he got paid well But his heart wasn't fulfilled and what's cool is when I met erin I told him about all of you, right? Um, and that's if you're listening this still at this point, you know, well, you're the one percenter I told him about dude. We train hundreds of thousands of people entrepreneurs business people salespeople moms dads I mean young people old people whether you're 14 or you're 75 it doesn't matter And I said every one of these people want to find their best self And obviously we talk about like mindset all the time, right? Like in business talk about mindset I learned this is what I learned is it goes it goes it goes physical Mental business once you physically get fit and love who you are and you feel healthy Your mindset goes through the roof and then you kill it in business And I realized when I met erin, I was like, dude, I need you for me, but also I need you for them I was like, dude, these these people these amazing people men and women I'm like if they study and train and they become great at business, but they don't get healthy They always revert back to where they were I've watched people and I'm just giving an example who are making 100 grand Join me in training go to make an 800 grand, right? Because they're training with me But then within one year go back to 100 grand And the aspect that they were missing is that they chose money before health And I made a decision to choose health before money health over money Dude, it was the craziest thing I started making more money than I know what to do with because I was healthier And then dude, you're not a flash in the pan and at last so I was like, dude, erin I need you like I need you to continue to make sure that I'm putting my health first My wife's putting her health first the elliot army team's putting their health first And then also the people that I serve and I love and I care about I don't want them to have short-term success I want them to have long-term success So erin comes in totally recreates y'all's life now The craziest things have been happened. So now erin has heaven on earth He loves what he does He gets to watch people transform and the greatest feeling in the world is like watching somebody change Like truly right well think think about when you walk it if you walk into a room For a meeting or For whatever And you're in shape You automatically You're automatically viewed differently because in today's world When you're in shape you're an anomaly We're constantly chasing comfort and uh We chase discomfort because that's where you grow You join us when you walk in and you're in in your lane and You got your meal with you. I don't know whatever the case may be that makes you different because we're different The game changes on every level And people love that man because in a world full of uncommitted and undisciplined people You'll be one and everybody will do business with you. So um, I love that and by the way, there's a number on the screen You see that number you just texted erin will train you. He's happy to train you. He loves it Welcome to the brotherhood. Um But but let's talk about this. So that's the military deal We talked about like and by the way, who are some of the people that you trained in hollywood like just name a couple names Uh the rock jk simmons josh brolin Amelia clark. There's a there's a long list. I was very fortunate to to have created the the business and and the uh the reputation that I did because I I became one of the The popular celebrity trainers for for quite a few years in hollywood and hollywood south So when productions came in they just knew to look for me and I fell more in the action genre because And you did something you did movies, right? Yeah, and give us a couple lists of some movies you're in um bright uh The purge movie purge tv show um Was you in terminator terminator genesis? Yeah, I play the refugee terminator Just a lot of cool. Did a lot of stunt work. I mean it was this all this all he's the big crazy guy This all turned into I was never I had never anticipated in my life some some people They they dream about being a celebrity trainer. They dream about being an actor. They dream about being a stunt performer I was able to do them all and and even doing all that there was still an empty feeling in me because of the superficiality of hollywood and how You're Only used when you're needed and then outside of that you're discarded And that's something that just plagued me for my entire career um when when 2020 hit And the industry shut down I did a lot of self-reflection because what I realized was The work that I was doing was completely reliant on hollywood. I I had no depth outside of the industry Uh and it was time for me to implement something on my own that gave me purpose back in my life where I I could I could go to sleep at night knowing that I was actually doing something because I made it back like I'm here right now. I'm I'm healthy. I've got all my limbs There's a lot of people Who didn't come back and a lot of those people are are friends of mine and people I'm close with so Every time I I get in a busy moment or I I get in a dark, you know Mindset I go back to the fact that I have a responsibility to do something with my life And that means that I have to have purpose. I'm a marine marines Like they live and strive off purpose without it. We don't do well But we're very mission-oriented people say we're fucking brainwashed or whatever. I don't I don't care I just know that when I go to bed at night. I know for every day that I'm alive I'm changing people's lives and being with you. I get to do it on a much bigger scale So this is where purpose comes into me and I like to think about health and fitness With human biology and I like to mesh those two together and do something that no one else is doing to change your life To get you on off all those meds and to make you feel alive again And really just to help you meet your true self because Right now I guarantee most people watching this don't even know who they are That's the truth, man. And you know what? You know these I'm going to do a million, you know sit-downs. We'll call these sit-downs podcasts whatever, right? This is real life. This is this is an elite army. This is the way we run Okay, there's lots of different sectors of our lives Aaron travels everywhere with me. We go everywhere together. We we crush every day We work out. We train as a family. We're a brotherhood. We do all kinds of stuff but you know what super cool is You can be a savage and still have an amazing heart, you know I'm saying like be super loving, right? And I think you got to find um, and I will kind of end this with this and then we'll do a bunch more together But I want to say this that um, you got to find a circle of people to do life with That's extremely important. Notice when you in seventh grade, you you know overdose of cocaine and all this Dude, that's because you were with the wrong people Okay, and then when you became a marine in eight 18 when you changed your life you were around different people And then when you came back from hollywood or by the way when you were in iraq with all your brothers over there You were who you were because you were with those people notice everything that's happened has been a journey with people Okay, your goal isn't to do life alone The times you do life alone are the times you want to give up I was I was doing life alone when I got back from iraq. I was doing life alone When I was in hollywood because there is no tribe in hollywood There's no there's no camaraderie in hollywood with it except I would say within the stunt community, which Anyway, and then for From 2020 until I met andi. I was doing life alone So coming into this this space with you and the family and the team I've never seen anything like it before and I and I truly mean that when when you see these videos and the energy And the loyalty and the love it's a real thing and in the short time that we've been together. It's changed my life You're helping me understand things about myself right now that I hadn't tapped into since I was a marine and uh Now because you're you're you're helping me with all these new things I get to help all you In what you're doing and this is what means everything to me So when you get on a program with us and you join the brotherhood and you join the tribe We're going to show you some amazing things that will literally change your life forever 30 days 60 days 90 days you name it every 30 days There's going to be a new level up of some type because we're all about throwing stimulus We're all about throwing discomfort We're all about doing things that push you outside your comfort zone because if you stay sitting on the couch eating Food you're going to go nowhere. You're going to look worse. You're going to shave decades off your life I mean I could just keep going on and on Yeah, and I and I think let's talk about as a total recreation factor, right? Like you've seen it happen How many people right are literally just a decision away from just changing their whole life? And to me The proximity deal you said hey, I got around the right people Everything that you've said since we started has always gone back to the people that you were around And the times you were by yourself are the times that you drove yourself in the ground Dude, what I've learned is that when you're alone you replay the same highlight reel Not of all the good you've been through but of all the bad you've been through I don't think it's good for people who aren't who they want to be to be alone Because all we do is be really bad to us We literally replay all the negativity that we've ever been through in our life in our head And we have 72,000 thoughts or something what they're saying 60 to 72,000 thoughts a day that run through our head And they say unless you interrupt that thinking with a new way of thinking or new information Then literally you're replaying the same reel every day Look at what covet did to us covet tore us apart and put us in this isolation That's only been getting worse It's when I when I talk to people right now The people who do call the number text the number the people who do come in the people outside everywhere Everyone's very internal. It's like we've lost the ability to communicate outside of social media and We need to like get back to the the real the real the real human interaction. We were we were made for communion Yes. Yeah, like like people were made for communion. So you call it a tribe team brotherhood Um family, right? I you know, I I called a family a choice You got your blood family, right people you're born with okay Some of you like them some of you don't and then you got your chosen family the chosen family the people that you just want To do life with right and by the way, sometimes people aren't made to be in your life forever Sometimes are made to be in there for a period of time. Okay. I'm grateful for all of it I don't regret anything in my life everything. I've been through my life. Even the batch has taught me a lesson to be a better person but now And the purpose of talking today is that you may find and understand that the entire conversation we've been having The good the bad the ugly has all been created around the people that we surround ourselves with You know the rooms I want to get in I want to get in the rooms with people that are doing way better than me I want to get in rooms with people that know how to solve problems that I can't solve And anyways We'll end it with this is if you're looking To totally go to another level Aaron says Fitness was an anchor for him His health was an anchor for him. It allowed him to have the energy energy. I would say the courage To do things it built you up. It made you believe in yourself. It gave you value Right. Um, it shifted your mindset like if any of those things ring true to you Then maybe that's your anchor and maybe you're just a coach away Which is if you're ready to make a decision you can text that number below and Welcome to the brotherhood.
