From Car Guy to 2.4 Million Followers with Garrett Reed

From Car Guy to 2.4 Million Followers with Garrett Reed

In this episode, I sit down with Garrett Reed, the man behind American Muscle HD, a platform he started over 11 years ago that has grown to over 2.4 million followers. We talk about the early days of social media versus now, how much harder it is to grow today, and what building a brand from pure passion can actually create. Garrett shares how his love for cars turned into a lifestyle that’s taken him around the world, created financial freedom, and opened doors a traditional 9 to 5 never could. I met Garrett at a car event and instantly knew he was different. In a world full of money, ego, and flexing, he is grounded, genuine, and family. Truly one of the most heart-led humans I’ve met. We also get into his obsession with sneakers, hosting events, interviewing people, and why conversation is his real superpower. He’s not just an influencer. He’s a builder. And more importantly, he’s a really good guy.

Brain Energetics, Amino Acids, Creatine and the Truth About Supplements ft. Joe Cerda and Ed Byrd

This episode is next level. I brought in Joe Cerda, owner of DBC here in Petaluma and one of the smartest trainers I know, and I mostly let him take the wheel. We go deep into amino acids, creatine, ATP, mitochondria, brain energetics, and the good, the bad, and the ugly of supplements on the market today. Ed has a fascinating lens on the brain and body. How compounds move through the bloodstream. What they actually produce. What fuels cognition. What fuels performance. He believes brain energetics are the foundation of true intuition. This conversation is science-heavy but wildly practical. If you care about mental clarity, performance, longevity, or understanding what you’re putting in your body, this one will expand you. Ed is brilliant. Joe is sharp. And I promise you’ll walk away knowing more than when you hit play.

Inclusion Is Not Optional with Alycia Anderson

In this episode, I sit down with Alycia Anderson, global speaker, TEDx speaker, host of the Pushing Forward with Alycia Podcast, disability advocate, entrepreneur, athlete, wife, identical twin, and absolute force. Alycia is breaking barriers around inclusion for women and humans with disabilities everywhere. She has worked with global brands like Victoria’s Secret and Target, educating companies and leadership teams on what true inclusion actually looks like. And let me tell you something. This conversation was not about limitation. It was about leadership. We talked about her childhood and the power of family support. How her mother never treated her differently. How inclusion started at home. How being an identical twin shaped her confidence. How she became the woman she is today. She does all of this from her wheelchair and never once allows it to define the ceiling of her life. More importantly, she educated me. She expanded my awareness around what she stands for in this world. Disability inclusion is not charity. It is not sympathy. It is leadership. It is representation. It is equity. It is humanity. This was a heart-led, honest conversation about resilience, identity, ambition, and refusing to shrink. Alicia is not just inspiring. She is redefining the room.

But leadership, peace, impact, and building a life that feels successful from the inside out.
