This Isn’t Just Wellness—It’s a Way of Life

Red has an intuitive sense for what works, and he’s generous in sharing it. He invokes the wisdom of figures like Andrew Huberman, but spins it through his own lens and voice, making it digestible, relatable, and personal.

Ever since he began his self-betterment journey, his dedication has been contagious. He helped shift how I think, feel, and move through the world, from mindset to routine. His guidance gave me a foundation I still build on today. Instead of gatekeeping knowledge, he lives it – refining it and passing it on with good humor.

When I engage with Red’s work – whether through his newsletter, podcast or YouTube video – I feel like I’m being spoken to directly. His topics are deeply relevant, and they carry weight beyond the surface. You could drop one of his conversations into any context of health, culture, or mindset, and the meaning still holds. He has a wide range of knowledge versatility, and that kind of depth is rare.

Every word feels intentional. Nothing rushed, nothing wasted. I never leave an article or video confused. Instead, I walk away with clarity, insight, and a sense of what to do next. Red empowers you while he informs. His delivery is wise, calm, and magnetic.

I’ve watched Jared constantly seek truth and better ways of living for over a decade. There’s no ego, bias, or gimmicks in his work. He’s not afraid to admit when he’s wrong, and he’s always evolving. That kind of honesty is rare.

What makes Jared different is his range: from health to housing to health, and from spirituality to community, he’s walking a path toward becoming a righteous, fully developed man, and his goal is to bring others with him.

He’s not out here selling quick hacks to get laid or make money. He’s sharing what actually matters: how to breathe, how to pray, how to behave. How to live a life you’ll be proud of at the end.

Red is doing some real important work for the community. Whether it’s creating podcasts that bring different voices into the mix or fighting for the underdog, he’s always putting in energy to uplift people. Even those hikes he organizes impacts people. It might seem simple, but it’s a real form of healing for folks who need that kind of connection with nature.

We’ve had hours of conversations about nutrition, fitness, and health, and he’s been a big part of my own journey. Always dropping knowledge and encouraging me to stay on track. Everything he’s building is dope.

Mental Health Counseling Student
Red is consistently teaching me something new, whether it’s a small shift in how/what I eat, or a deeper insight on how to move through life emotionally and intentionally.

Lessons from the Down to Earth newsletter often stick with me for weeks, and his powerful social content rivals the impact of our electric one-on-one conversations.

The hikes have been my favorite part. It works like open-air therapy and feels like brotherhood. On the trail, I get to tap into Red’s mind, reflect on the past week, and set intentions for the one ahead. The vibe is healing, grounding, and peaceful. Plus, it’s an authentic way to build new relationships while in nature. It’s powerful for networking, but not manufactured – it's a genuine community.
Matthew Peterson
Mental Health Founder, Dually Protected | Functional Art Builder Counseling Student
The man wrote a whole piece debating apricots vs. bananas, and somehow made it profound. That’s the power of what he does. Red is a true disruptor as a writer, but shines when reshaping how we think about health, purpose, and creative living. 

His Sunday newsletters challenge my perspective every week. They’ve made me reconsider the ways I eat and sleep, and influence how I show up as a creative and entrepreneur.

If you’re looking for someone who blends storytelling, wellness, and cultural intelligence into content that actually moves people, Red is the one. In journalism, marketing, and especially in anything that helps people grow, I recommend him fully.
Anthony Obas
 Community Marketing Architect | Guided By Obas
Red shows up with the same energy in every lesson and interaction, with every person. I feel like that kind of consistency is rare, especially in the industry (Media/journalism) where we met. What stands out most about Red is his sincerity.

You can’t help but root for him. His earnestness is his superpower, and it’s refreshing.
Leah Mallory
 Community Marketing Architect | Guided By Obas
Red is someone who strives to make the world a better place in a unique way that only he can. Despite his youth, he speaks with experience and knowledge far beyond his age. 

His passion for community and bringing others together is not only inspiring but commendable. He views things not only as they are, but also as what they can be.  

His story is just beginning, and I’m thankful to know him. He’s inspired me, and I look forward to seeing him inspire others in the years to come.
