About this episode
SUMMARY Garret J. White, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Wake Up Warrior , joins the show to deliver one of the most raw, honest, and transformational interviews in recent memory. Known for his direct, no-BS approach to helping men reclaim power across their business, body, and relationships, Garret unpacks the origin story of his own breakdown—and the breakthrough that followed. From being millions in debt and emotionally destroyed, to launching a global movement for men, Garret reveals what it really takes to lead as a modern man. Throughout the episode, he dives into what it means to live the "Warrior’s Way"—a four-part framework that empowers men to find balance and build legacy. He opens up about the moment he hit rock bottom, the pivotal decisions that changed his life, and why so many men today are quietly suffering. From business and marriage to fatherhood and faith, this conversation goes beyond self-help—it’s a roadmap for transformation. The episode concludes with a powerful announcement of The Man Arena Tour , a nationwide event aiming to reignite purpose and leadership in men across America.
