"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. Down to Earth is a movement that brings wellness, purpose, and clarity together. I’m excited for what Red has coming next, and I highly recommend being part of it."

"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 impact 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."

"Red is truly genuine in his passion for health and community. He’s not someone who repeats what others say. He goes out, learns from experience, and forms his own perspective so he can share something real. As a journalist, he stays informed on what matters. He keeps an ear toward what the people around him want to learn, and takes initiative to show up and support. He’s found his voice, and he uses it to push others toward self-awareness, growth, and better living. It’s rare to see someone so bold about caring for the wellbeing of others. Red is 1 of 1. He’s got the right idea."

"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."

"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."
