Why Most Men Are Losing The Battle of Life w/ Garrett White 👑 E118

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays. I am here with my partner on the Man in the Arena tour.

Speaker 1 We are going to dive deep into what normally on the Money Mondays, we go over three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, and give away a charity.
That's not happening today.

Speaker 1 We are talking about one thing and one general concept only, which is why are we filling up an arena with thousands and thousands and thousands of individuals?

Speaker 1 And then why are we taking it to Miami, Phoenix, Dallas, New York, maybe international? Why are we doing this? Why are we so passionate about it?

Speaker 1 And I picked the perfect person for it because, let me give a quick backstory before I let him let loose.

Speaker 1 For the last three years, I've had this idea stuck in my head. And you know, when you have like the notes in your phone, like, one day I'm going to do this, one day I'm going to do this.

Speaker 1 Well, I had this concept for a man in the arena.

Speaker 1 And I was sitting on his couch. Just got this big mansion in Miami.

Speaker 1 We're we're hanging out all day long my baby's in there everyone's in there and all of a sudden i just look at him like oh you're the one and i didn't give him any context and just clicked in my head and i said i want to show you something that's been on my phone because he was about to get back into events because he's thrown events for the last 13 14 years he's coached 70 000 men and so who better to be the face and representative and the man in the arena for the man in the arena tour than the guy that literally coached 70 000 men over the years so without further ado i know know I'm very excited and I'm rambling right now because it's

Speaker 1 the moment has come. We are not doing a normal podcast today.
I want Garrett to just rip for the next 20 minutes about Man in the Arena, the concept and why he said yes to me.

Speaker 1 Garrett White, Garrett, Jay White, go for it.

Speaker 2 All right. So the moment, that was a moment.
We had all my girls. I got four.
Dan has new baby girl and Erica Thou's and it was a moment.

Speaker 2 Because I had already been like, I had built the prompt from God for about a year to unify and put something together at a glow like a bigger scale that would lead to a global experience with men.

Speaker 2 There's so many people talking about men. There's so many people talking about them empowering men at the same time attacking men.

Speaker 2 So when Dan presented the idea, like I was already in before he presented, I didn't know what he was going to say next. And they said, man, the arena.
A minute he said, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 No, that's it. That's the one.
So the concept has been simple. This series that we're putting together, this tour, is a focus on what I've already been doing for 13 years.

Speaker 2 But I wanted to do a different in between what Dan's ideas and my ideas were. It was the unifying concept of coming into the arena was to find a couple things.

Speaker 2 When you put a group of men together without women in the room, that proximity of purpose by putting only men in the room accesses a permission slip in a man to be something more than he's ever been willing to be before.

Speaker 2 We call it the box of mirrors here at Warrior, which is the ability to wrap yourself up with other men who are committed to one fundamental truth, which is the truth.

Speaker 2 The statement of Wake Up Warrior started as a movement 13 years ago with one idea, which was stop fucking lying. It's not complicated.
Stop fucking lying.

Speaker 2 It's wild that I could even have a business that is founded in getting men to stop lying. And yet it wasn't just me.

Speaker 2 There's 26 other men's movements that have sparked off of what Wake Up Warrior started 13 years ago.

Speaker 2 So I said, what if we had, and I sat with Dan, I said, what if we put together and we brought 10 to 12 of the top men trainers in the men's space, men who have committed five to 10 years just training men.

Speaker 2 And we put everyone together inside the arena and we created an experience for these men that was a unified collaborative game.

Speaker 2 We had to have it be a brand that was different than any of the brands, Wake Up Warrior, Lions on Sheep, Limitless, The Edge, The Standard, We Are the They, all of these other brands, we had to unify us under a concept which Dan was the orchestrator of, which was Man in the Arena.

Speaker 2 Now, this comes from a quote. Talk to us about this, Dan.
Why was this quote by Theodore Roosevelt so empowering to you?

Speaker 1 We've all heard it before, but what was it about this particular quote that actually sparked fire in you as a concept a couple years ago i felt like i was living it the first time i heard it and you know we have different types of businesses and we've lived different types of lives but all of us have our own different version in our mind of the arena and mine is business mostly and charity and that whole realm of it and supporting so many people behind me on the side of me in front of me and people that don't know who i am strangers that i'm donating for charity And so I feel like I'm in the arena and I'm constantly having a, I feel like I'm getting attacked left and right, even though I'm the nice guy in the space it doesn't matter you still get attacked you still go through lawsuits you still go through fights you still go through arguments you still have so much tension goes on while you're fighting in the arena and so when I heard the speech like I've heard it in the past but then when I heard it a couple years ago I that's when I wrote it down on my phone and just started thinking through the concept of it and I'd you know there's a lot of guys that have been in the coaching game but none of it clicked for me yeah and so when I was literally sitting on your couch is that moment I could feel it about when I said, you're the one.

Speaker 1 Like that's literally what I heard in my head. Like, you're the one.
And

Speaker 1 the concept of man in the arena is so powerful because all of us have that in our own realm.

Speaker 1 You might be 11 years old and still feel like you're in the arena because you're fighting for your brother who's getting beat up or you're fighting for your friends at school.

Speaker 1 You could be 92 years old and like you're fighting for your grandchildren. Everyone has their own version of them being in the arena.
But I think you've embodied that more than anyone in history.

Speaker 1 And so that's why this all came together.

Speaker 2 And if you look at what Dan's talking about with this idea of being in the arena, the challenge that we live today is the fact that most men live isolated in the arena.

Speaker 2 So you have men building businesses, building marriages, building families.

Speaker 2 You have young people now rising up in their late 20s, trying to look for examples and role models with everything going on with OnlyFans and distraction on social media and political chaos and all this is happening.

Speaker 2 Men have become more isolated in their little silos than ever before.

Speaker 2 We've also become addicted to the virtual game and we listen to podcasts and we watch videos and we go to webinars and we attend virtual events, but there is nothing that replaces the proximity of men in one place.

Speaker 2 I mean, Operation Blacksight with Dan and what they've done, that's not a virtual experience. Wake up Warrior for 13 years, our most powerful experiences were when men gathered.
The question is why?

Speaker 2 Why is it so powerful? One, because where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am also. This is a principle biblically.
Where men gather together, grounded in truth, God appears.

Speaker 2 People are like, well, I'm not Christian or I'm Jewish or I'm Muslim or I'm none of those. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 The power that we're talking about, regardless of what you you name it, how you label it, or what book you study to worship this name, it doesn't matter. What matters is the experience of it.

Speaker 2 See, men that come to the arena, men who have been in the arena, you understand what it is to fight. You understand what it is to be attacked.
You understand what it is to be betrayed.

Speaker 2 You understand what it is to be isolated and try to contain all of that in business and then come home and try to show up in some kind of way, either dating or show up in some kind of way as a husband or as a father.

Speaker 2 And it's fucking chaos. This trifect of insanity, those that have chosen to be married, have children, and also run a a business, you have put yourself in the arena of all arenas, right?

Speaker 2 Dan knows is now having a baby. Like, it changes things.
And so, here we are with all this chaos on the outside, but most of us playing isolated in this.

Speaker 2 We're trying to be confused about how to raise our teenagers as our girls are being told they might be boys. Our boys are being told they might be girls.

Speaker 2 We've got toxic masculinity and feminism rising, the attack on the modern man. And in this place, the man in the arena tour is not an event.

Speaker 2 It's the initiation of a war, a revolution and a war, a revival for men to begin to find and reclaim the God-given power of dominion that sits inside of all of us. And most of us have lost it.

Speaker 2 Most men have lost it. They've lost it so deeply and so passionately without even knowing.
They become so sedated, even in their success.

Speaker 2 The hollowness, the loneliness, the dysfunction, the anxiety, the depression.

Speaker 2 Even men's mental health month gets covered up with LBGTQ, YXEW, to to the end of the rainbow. Covered up.
Nobody gives a shit. We've told you, shut up, sit down.
Your feelings don't matter.

Speaker 2 You don't matter.

Speaker 2 And this message of you don't matter is fucking bullshit. Because without men in the arena, this society doesn't work.
And women can chant from the stands all day long, we don't need men.

Speaker 2 It's fucking lies.

Speaker 2 And we're watching our women become stressed out, anxious, depressed at levels they've never been because of the rise in their channeling of masculinity from a lie. I don't need men.

Speaker 2 Meanwhile, men being berated and belittled and put down and told, you don't fucking matter. Man in the arena is a declaration of war.
It is a stand for what men are.

Speaker 2 And it's not just my show or Dan's show. It's a collaboration of some of the top most powerful men either in the space or supporting the space.
Men who live the arena life.

Speaker 2 But for most men, and many of you listening to this, you used to be in the arena. You got so fucked up in the arena, you've now joined and become a spectator.

Speaker 2 You're You're sitting on the sideline and now you're watching, you're scrolling social media, you're looking at all the guys who are still continuing to fight.

Speaker 2 I mean, how many times have you been sued?

Speaker 1 15 for 15.

Speaker 2 15 times. I just got sued again yesterday.
This shit doesn't ever stop. The bigger you get, the more you're getting sued.
Like, I already see the train coming.

Speaker 2 We already anticipate the next lawsuit that's coming. It's all bullshit.
But this is part of the game.

Speaker 2 You either weaponize yourself as a man and you stand in the arena and you keep fighting, or what's your alternative? Quit.

Speaker 2 And many of you listen to this, you listen to Money Mondays because you come for a place to find inspiration. You come because Dan is your guy because of the guests that he brings.

Speaker 2 But what he and I are putting together and the men supporting this and the 7,000 men that'll be in our first stop in Salt Lake City, Utah, May 17th, that first stop will be the line of demarcation in this country.

Speaker 2 The

Speaker 2 political game is being moved. People are moving in the government.
We see people moving all over the place. God is moving this country.

Speaker 2 This movement movement will start and you will watch this thing burn like a fire across this country. You will watch us run into 2026 as we do 12 to 18 of these same tour events.

Speaker 2 You'll watch into 2027 as this becomes stadium events that have not happened since the 1990s during the Promise Keeper movement. A million men walked, march in Mart Washington, D.C.

Speaker 2 Only this will be a global movement of weaponizing men to stand in true, to stand in power, to stand immovable,

Speaker 2 immovable in their marriages, immovable with their children, immovable in business, immovable with political chaos, immovable with persecution. And when a man stands in this place, immovable,

Speaker 2 life makes sense because an immovable man can only be immovable if he stands on a foundation of the power of God.

Speaker 2 And truth is the access point to this. A man simply being in this room will activate truth.

Speaker 2 Marion Williams has said that a man who is liberated from his fears, even the presence of this man liberates others.

Speaker 2 This is why I run with Dan. I run with Dan.
Why? Because this is a man of truth. This is a man who's not only in the arena, this is a man who continues to be in the arena.

Speaker 2 This is a man who gets used and abused by motherfuckers and still stands and fights.

Speaker 2 What is it that drives this fight in you?

Speaker 1 The concept of I want to save the world, except I have a very practical way to do it.

Speaker 1 And so I want to showcase the world through live events, through my charity events, through the world's largest toy drive, to homeless backpacks for 16 years.

Speaker 1 I want to show 11 years of toy drives, 16 years of backpacks for the homeless.

Speaker 1 Like I want to show that I can execute it and the butterfly effect of that causes people to then go do it also far greater than I'll ever know.

Speaker 1 And that's what I want to ask you about, the butterfly effect. By you making men better, what does that do to wives, children, households, and offices?

Speaker 2 People think at times, they're like, why don't you train the women? I say, well, a practical one. I have a penis.
What do I know about being a woman? Not much.

Speaker 2 I know my experience of being married to a woman and having four daughters. I know that.

Speaker 2 But what I also know on the second level is that when you wake a man up, the butterfly back effect is when this man becomes immovable, his wife, his woman, the girl he's dating, the woman he's with, for the very first time can experience the true deep feminine nature of who she is.

Speaker 2 Women are attacking because men are weak. They move constantly.
So when we weaponize a man, this man becomes a beacon to his marriage.

Speaker 2 When you weaponize a marriage or a significant relationship, it weaponizes the family because the family can now stand in a place of truth with this man knowing they can trust him, respect him.

Speaker 2 Most women have lost respect and lost trust for their men. And so they've attempted to rise to to replace this man because he won't move.

Speaker 2 Because every time she does or says anything, he's fucking everywhere. The markets change, he's everywhere.
The government changes presidency, he's everywhere.

Speaker 2 And then there's men in the arena who are like, hey, I preferred that person in office or I didn't, but here's what you need to know. I don't fucking care who's in office.

Speaker 2 I'm still going to fight and win. And this attitude affects everything.
If you look at this, you change a man and transform a man, you transform a relationship and a marriage.

Speaker 2 When you transform a relationship, you transform a family. The family unit now becomes immovable.
When the family unit becomes immovable, neighborhoods and cities become transformed.

Speaker 2 When you transform cities like Miami, when you transform these places, they transform states. And states tith countries.
And countries tip the world. So it all starts with one man.

Speaker 2 13 years ago, I turned on a camera. 11, 12 years ago, you decided to do toy drives.
20, some years ago, we both decided to be entrepreneurs.

Speaker 2 We made the decision to say, you know what?

Speaker 2 I'm full-time gladiator. I'm going to eat what I hunt.
What drove the original decision for you to throw yourself in the arena as an entrepreneur?

Speaker 1 The efficiency of watching everyone else come and go. There was just, I was throwing these free events, the elevator night, my free events, throwing up 56 times now.

Speaker 1 And I watched what would happen when I bring people together, the butterfly effect for them. People would invest in companies.
People would do deals. people would date and get married.

Speaker 1 Things would happen when I brought people together.

Speaker 1 And so then I started throwing masterminds, then I started throwing bigger events, and I got a part of the Aspire tour, then I got a part of this tour, and I did the Limitless Arena with the Muscle, with Keaton, twice at the Maverick Center, where we had 5,800 men, 7,400 men, sorry, men and women in those attendees.

Speaker 1 And that's why I wanted to be there first. I wanted that to be our first place because I know that arena inside out.
So what better arena to go to than Maverick Center?

Speaker 1 Like the arena that I've been there twice already and brought in, what is that, 12, 13,000 people the last couple of times. And so ultimately, it all stemmed from efficiency.

Speaker 1 I knew that if I could throw free events, then I could throw $100,000 masterminds, then I could throw $200 ticket versions, I could culminate people together.

Speaker 1 And if I did that, charity would happen, deals would happen, relationships would happen. Literally babies were, like, babies were being made at these events.

Speaker 1 Like things would happen from me bringing people together. And so that's why I'm obsessed with it.
I threw 42 events last year.

Speaker 1 And now I just obsessed with Man in the Arena.

Speaker 1 It's just stuck in my head so much that i talk about it every single day and i still have other events going on but all i think about is this tour because of how impactful it is and how much passion you have for it it is going to shake this country

Speaker 2 like i need you to understand don't listen to my words listen to the energy you feel from us

Speaker 2 don't get wrapped up in what appears to be hype to some of you I can promise you, this is not fucking hype for me. I've been bloodied in this game for 13 years, leading over 70,000 men personally.

Speaker 2 Not people that watched my videos, not that I had 200 million views. Fuck 99% of your views or 21-year-olds from some country that doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 I've led men, powerful men, entrepreneurial men, men who were in the arena and were getting destroyed.

Speaker 2 Men who found themselves wounded and limped and bleeding, sitting in the stands, losing their marriages, losing their businesses, losing their lives because they had no one to lean on and run with.

Speaker 2 We've run hundreds of events in the last 13 years, 3,000 men events, 2,500 men events. We've run many workshops, seminars, boot camps, you name it, we've done it.

Speaker 2 And now coming back with a man in the arena tour, unified with the top men's movement makers in this space who have committed their life, their calling, their souls to the ministry of men.

Speaker 2 Some people call this a ministry. It is.
Is it a religion? No.

Speaker 2 Is it a church? No.

Speaker 2 It's a band of men who give a fuck about about the liberation of men because they know the effect and the butterfly effect on humanity. You can try to change political things.

Speaker 2 You can change laws and rules. But if we don't transform men, none of it will matter.

Speaker 2 And so unifying with Dan has been like the perfect business partnership of all time. I said I wouldn't go into partnership with anyone again after my last partnership 13 years ago.

Speaker 2 I was like, I'm not going to fucking do it. For the first time in 13 years, not only was it a yes, it was a yes right now.

Speaker 2 And every day that goes by, the way he and I are running this, weaponized by God, it is insanity, the attraction, the attention, and the natural primal desire for speakers and businessmen and entrepreneurs to promote, to support, to attend this event because everyone's feeling it.

Speaker 2 It is more than just an event. It is a declaration of war.

Speaker 2 And men who feel this primally, we invite you to go to maninthearenatour.com, get your ticket, bring your brothers, bring your sons, come and put yourself in the arena, weaponized all in black, man in the arena t-shirts, for an experience that will blow your mind, awaken your soul with not just music and hype, but tools and tactics and training that will put you back on track.

Speaker 2 If your life is shit, let's get it to good. If it's good, let's get it to great.
And if you're great, well, then it's time for you to lead.

Speaker 2 And the greatest way to experience the activation of your divine leadership is to put yourself in the arena arena with men who lead full time.

Speaker 2 Brothers, it's time to get out of the stands. It's time to get back in the arena.
And if you're wounded, you're coming. If you're in the stands and you've sedated, you're coming.

Speaker 2 If you are weaponized and bloodying the game in the arena, it's time to take your crown off for a second and come renew and rejuvenate your soul with us.
