ENDORSEMENTS
MY WIFE'S ENDORSEMENT!
It’s often said, if you want to truly know a person’s character ask their spouse. Brian has dedicated himself to helping men find freedom. This commitment isn’t just a professional choice—it’s a deeply personal calling that I witness in our daily lives. His dedication shines through in every interaction, whether during a casual coffee chat, a focused call, or leading a group. Yet, it’s in the aftermath of these interactions, when he returns home with a vibrancy that fills our space, that I see the impact of his work most clearly. Regardless of the day’s challenges, there’s a light in him that only comes from living one’s true purpose. More intimately, Brian has shown incredible strength and determination in overcoming his own battles with addiction. It’s a journey that could only be fully appreciated by someone who lives it with him. Today I can say I trust Brian 100%. Today I stand as a witness to the transformative power of his higher power, Jesus. Brian’s life story serves not just as a cornerstone of his coaching, but as a beacon of hope. – Kim Fowler

My life has changed for the better since going on a journey with him.” – Leon M.
