Garrett J. White is the founder of Wake Up Warrior, Creator of Warrior Week & Author of Warrior Book. There is turmoil for both men & women on what our gender roles demand of us in modern society with one of the primary questions being "What does it mean to be a man?" Today I'm turning to Garrett for answers as a coach who has helped thousands of men to become an upgraded version of themselves. Raw and unfiltered, Garrett has a very intense view of what masculinity means and how men should behave, but behind the brutish delivery is a focus on truth being paramount and taking charge of your personal sovereignty. I'd love to hear your opinions, so drop me a message and let me know your thoughts.

Leon Scott is a Semi-Professional Footballer, Model, Influencer and Online Coach. The worlds of modelling, football and Instagram aren't often extolled for their virtue or commitment to mindfulness, but Leon is a non-typical member of these groups and is using his platform to promote mental wellbeing to the thousands who follow him. Great to sit down with a kindred spirit today. We finally got to discuss how we both feel about having a desire to promote mental wellbeing through our channels and the requirement to balance that with the "game playing" which is needed to be successful online.  Extra Stuff: Follow Leon on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/leon3scott Leon's Website - http://www.leon-scott.com Check out everything I recommend from books to products and help support the podcast at no extra cost to you by shopping through this link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/modernwisdom - Get in touch. Join the discussion with me and other like minded listeners in the episode comments on the MW YouTube Channel or message me...
