I believe the conversation you don't want to miss check it out Hey guys, here we are I'm again here with my man Aaron Williamson as you see him everybody's like who's that? Is that your bodyguard? No, it's my brother. Okay? Okay, my brother from another mother now I want you to listen. This is super important I asked Aaron to let's not run into a long Conversation, but let's talk about some stuff that could really help specifically the veterans now if you're not a veteran and you're like Oh, man, I'm just gonna turn this off. Let me explain this to you Everybody has problems in their life. I sure you some of the information He's about to give you will probably ring true to you on how to fix some of the problems in your life Regardless of being a veteran or not So Aaron real quick, you know 30 seconds introduce yourself if this is the first time somebody's catching a video from you. Tell us about you I'm a Marine veteran. I'm an actor celebrity trainer stunt performer and now a member of the the Elliott army Fitness is my anchor. It's been the backbone of my whole life It's kept me alive and I'm in the position now where I get to take The love of fitness and health and share it with you all Love that and by the way, he just transforms people's lives for a living every day super cool Cool as you've ever seen Including myself and my wife and our whole Elliott army team and obviously hundreds of thousands of other people you can follow him if you want to see who he is on It's gonna be Instagram. It's gonna be Aaron Williamson Aaron V. Williamson go check him out Aaron. So let's talk today. I want to talk straight to the veterans. Okay By the way, what are some struggles that veterans? Go through right like like I like even before I met you I've always heard a lot about like suicide PTSD, right? Like like things like that So like like tell me what are the things that they struggle with and then let's talk about what are some things on How you can really like level out of that? Well, when you join the Marine Corps or when you join the military in general You become a very your day-to-day becomes very mission-oriented you're a part of a tribe a part of a team a part of a family you develop camaraderie and When you get up every day, you know what your day is gonna consist of you know what your week's gonna consist of You know what your life is like there's tremendous structure to being in the military and When you leave that and you come to the civilian world You realize very quickly that none of that exists anymore. You'll you realize and this is something I learned the hard way that People's words mean nothing when I shake your hand and I say I'm gonna do something. It's ironclad And I've been burned so many times over the years that I Know now that I can never shake anyone's hand and really do that unless they're a person of integrity and So you got to think about when you're when you're in the military when you join up There's a certain sense of sacrifice that automatically happens your mind your body Sometimes your spirit depending on what you go through when you leave that You have to find new purpose in your life and There lies the problem that veterans have you leave this this world where you have structure and you have stability Financial stability you have all the things that you need to thrive and live You now no longer have and you and you have to figure out what the next step is for you the mentality is different In the military in the civilian world, so there's the next layer of it So now you have to redefine your purpose You have to understand how to talk to civilians in a way that Doesn't make you too hardcore doesn't turn people off from you doesn't make them so intimidated that they're scared to be around There's a there's so many different nuances of civilian life that you have to learn how to adapt to and that was a very difficult thing for me So When you have no purpose you turn to a vice It's usually not a good one and depending on the severity of the trauma that you've been through specifically Let's say combat When you add those demons on top of it Trying to find purpose becomes very difficult because we live in a we live in a world now where there's entitlement We live in a world where everyone thinks that Their voice is better than everyone else's and you got it you go back and you think that I just spent the last four years six Years ten years whatever it is sacrificing everything I have for the In the name of freedom for this country So it's a very it's a very hard pill to swallow and when when when people ask me Hey, my son's thinking about joining the military or my daughter's thinking about joining the military my first question to them is Why like what is the expectation? Why why do they want to join? because I I Think there needs to be a level of expectation when you join you're the nation's defenders You there's a there's a highly there's it's highly probable that at some point over the the the course of your career You're gonna be in a hostile environment You're gonna deal with things that you're not gonna want to deal with you're gonna have leadership that you're not gonna want There's a number of things so going to going in the military for the sole reason of college and for for cushion and It's such bullshit. I hate it. Hey guys. What's going on? It's Andy a lot of you leave comments. Tell 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 210254 918 210254 I'll help you with whatever you need. I got your back for life. Let's get back to the video Well, obviously then when you talk about some of this stuff, you know Sometimes because I've never served right but as I ask him clearly you can tell he's passionate about like taking care of the country honor Dignity integrity, you know I'm saying like ironclad handshake. He said you need it's hard to shake people's hands By the way, doesn't mean that he doesn't believe in people He's just saying you guys know the 99% and the 1% right? He's just saying only 1% of people keep their word He's like, why can't we all do it? You know I'm saying like that's a part of the pack there And then when you come out into the to the real world, you see that there's a lot of people They just don't do what they say they're gonna do and then also on top of that when you do go overseas Or you go into a different environment of these things you see things that most people will never see in their life You know a lot of people, you know, they enter all kinds of crazy stuff in their life But that's like a whole another level when you start talking about being close to somebody and then maybe them dying Or like seeing other people get killed or maybe being in you know crazy situations in which you shouldn't have survived That's where that's where being in the military you can talk about selflessness and you talk about reciprocity and giving back and It's something that's hard to find in Society today because we're so selfish we we just expect all this it's all about me It's all about what I want. I need this. I need that rather than just being a good person and Giving first the even even when I didn't have anything to give I had time and Sometimes time is more priceless than anything else that you can give and and sometimes that can go further than any amount of money Can go you know when I'm talking to a veteran who you know calls me at 2 o'clock in the morning and Doesn't think they're gonna be able to make it through the night I'll stay on the phone with them all freaking night if I have to to make sure that they stay alive because I've been there I understand it. I know that dark mentality. I I know where their heads at and We we need that that human bond and that human connection and to know that there is still the ability to find purpose and to find good people and you know find a tribe like this and and I think what What you're doing what we're doing together collectively, especially you know being in venues like this talking about Veterans and how we can help them, you know, there's there's this stigma that veterans are broken every veteran needs help That's bullshit Veterans are some some savvy motherfuckers and I'll just I talk about Marines because I'm a Marine but our motto is Improvise adapt and overcome like put us in a sandwich. We'll find our way out of it no matter what and that's been my entire life, so This is this is amazing being able to to be Here with you right now to talk to veterans like this because they need it they they need it so bad. Look at This is society right now is not not in a good place and and and I feel like this is where veterans can thrive and there There's tremendous opportunity right now for veterans So when you say like like there's never been a greater time for a veteran to like level up Right and then like really make an impact right because there are people that have been through stuff seen stuff They've seen the brotherhood. They've seen the tribe. They know what exists and we need them to bring that to the marketplace for for us, right? You know, so you got to kill low self-limiting beliefs and false beliefs that you're not needed You're super needed and you're super qualified, right? What are some things that you would recommend? Doing what are some things what are some things that you'd recommend if there's a veteran watching this and they're not finding any value in themselves Or they may be forgot, you know about that drive that brotherhood that purpose that change You know I'm saying maybe they've seen some stuff, you know, you've told me some stories that are crazy and You know, how do they change? What would you what would you recommend? I? Would recommend doing what most people will probably not want to do and that's Get getting into some networking getting into some self-development Finding a way to be a part of courses that will make you come out of your shell a little bit because So I get in the proximity whether it's through like online Connection or whether it's face-to-face So I'll bring this up. So as he's saying this you're obviously seeing Elliot army You guys we do events every month like we do events every month, okay? So if you want to come meet Aaron you want to go to a workout you want to kick ass You can text that number the 918 210 254 you see on the screen 918 210 254 That's perfect If you want and this is what he does he personally trains people but his favorite people to train are the veterans Okay, he does these 90-day total recreation programs that are sick. They're wicked There's a number on the screen. You text that number. It says fitness division. You just text that Aaron will set you guys up. We'll see you on the weekly calls and you guys can crush it and kill it with him You know it is fitness a big part of like I know that you help a lot of veterans But like do you have them get into fitness? I mean for the mindset part? Yeah one hundred but as a veteran we we need it because it's it's the foundation of Everything as a veteran any branch of service you go through One of the very first things you do is a physical fitness test you need to be fit and For those who have gotten out and have lost their way and forgotten about that. I challenge you to start right now Get up in the morning Don't hit snooze and go for a walk and start drinking water Little by little yeah, little by little. Yeah, it's like you don't it's not like hey I'm gonna go by creatine protein powder today. I'm gonna I mean like just like just start right because What me and I always talk about is the the big stuff comes from doing the little stuff right people people that want a big life They want a big change It's the little things that compound that create something big and it's not big things that create big things It's little things right if you if you try and jump into a complete program right off the bat you're You have a highly you're very likely to fail But if you can start implementing little things and you can work your way into it and start to develop these new lifestyle habits That's where the success comes from that's where it no longer becomes a diet That's where it no longer becomes a training program It just becomes part of your daily life and as veterans this is the way we lived during our time Serving why not continue to live that lifestyle now where you can continue to be healthy and you can continue to thrive and Make money and help people and just be a good person why? Give that up and lose yourself and become a victim to all the shit out there. That's keeping people from being healthy It's easy. It's it's it's one decision of saying you know what I? Know I deserve it. I'm strong in the mind my body can be strong again I can have my health back and you know what on the way of you doing that You don't know who's watching you you don't know who you're gonna inspire along the way So there's this pay it forward that's automatically gonna take place Yeah, and plus you start to like who you are again find value in yourself Which is which is which is massive, you know if you're wanting to bring special energy to your family special love to your family You want to really do something big in life? You know and you are a veteran and really anybody, but if you're a veteran I would highly recommend Tex in the Ernindal fitness division number, okay? Our fitness division in the Elliott army that we've built which is insane You know we train thousands of people around the country of fitness Total recreation Aaron your coach We also have a couple other coaches that coach with you that are savages and a lot of them are veterans too, right?

There's Q&A's like you can become so involved and you can meet so many amazing people through this group So don't think of it as you're just gonna get a fitness program You're gonna get a program that's built for you. That's gonna literally help you Have a blueprint to follow that's gonna change your life and by the way on the way of on and doing this you're gonna meet some amazing people who Maybe they're in your in your town.

Okay, if you're not happy with where you're currently at right or if you are happy It's important to put yourself around and in proximity of people that help you grow people that help you scale people that have been Where you are, you know I'm saying so I would highly recommend to everybody Everybody if you guys don't follow Aaron go to Instagram fall official or not son official It's it's it's Aaron R.

You guys can DM them You guys can message him you guys can text the number on the screen, but more importantly, okay? guys, and I've heard you talk to a lot of people that are going through tough times and Sometimes people give up on themselves, right? And then sometimes people push through and they do what we said to do which is reach out Get to help join the brotherhood join the army and go to the next level What would you say to anybody before we in this who's who's thinking about like giving up? You know what I mean or who has given up? You know I'm saying like like what would you say? I? Would say you need to look in the mirror and really have a strong conversation with the person you're looking at And you need to think about Why you're in that position You need to think about the people who whose lives would be destroyed if you did something stupid you need to think about The brothers the sisters the family the people that you may have lost in a situation that was out of your control You need to ask yourself a lot of questions and know that if you're here right now and you're alive and you're breathing it's for a reason and When you can Understand what that reason is and you can redefine that purpose in your life and start to focus on the path forward You're gonna help a lot of people and and I say this because I was in the same boat. I Was in that dark place Yeah, and you're saying turn your wounds into your weapon basically, right the wounds. Yeah exactly what I'm saying Yeah, it makes you dangerous matter of fact it makes you more qualified than anybody Because struggle and suffering is actually what makes you great Okay, so everybody we love you guys.
