What's up Everybody, my name is Johnny Martinez, and welcome to the Warrior Healer Podcast! Over my time here on earth I have found it increasingly more difficult to find a community of individuals that wants to take the hard path in life. That seeks personal excellence and adversities along the way. I credit most if not all of my success in life to “choosing my hard”. Life isnt easy either way you, It's not easy being fat, and it isn't easy going to the gym and training. But at the end of the day, WE get to decide which path we want to take.
I have created this podcast with the understanding that if I cannot find individuals that want to seek adversities and do hard things in life, then I need to be the one to help speak out for the community and bring these individuals together. So we can grow as a community and as individuals, to be better in all aspects of our lives. To set the standard for a new age of Warrior, the ones that won't be pushed around by others, but rather seek the discomforts in life. Accepting any and all challenges and remaining positive through these tumultuous times.
In the Warrior Healer Podcast we will be covering topics such as Jiu Jitsu and martial arts, Leadership, Military, Parenting, Plant Medicine, Health and wellness, Overcoming the odds, striving to become the best version of yourself and so much more.
Thanks for joining the community, lets f*****g work!
