I reached out to The Warriors Way Mindset after a year or 2 of watching TikTok content. Rick's messages resonated with me in comparison to the "help" I was getting in therapy. As an established Chef and more recent house fillipper my world was turned upside down with my second failed marriage. I was dealing with the most loss in my life and was seeing no way out. My proverbial toolbox was useless against my mental state. Facing the loss of identity, loss of job/lifestyle, loss of what I thought was the love of my life, I was in pieces that I didn’t know how to put back together. The support of my family and traditional counseling was not enough. I made the call to TWWM. I took the big step to rebuild myself, I asked for help. Determined to make myself better and not repeat my past mistakes, I enrolled in Spartan training. Through hard work on myself, following the program, using the tools that are taught, and putting them into practice, I was able to collect the pieces of myself, build a stronger, more competent, Warrior Way Mindset. As I write this I am on a path to a rediscovered, unapologetically authentic, confident vessel of ME. “I am How I AM, not who I was.”

My real brother ended up bringing me into the group. After watching me struggle and fight with my soon to be ex. I can tell you it didn’t take me long to realize just how much all these guys have your back. I was in pure panic mode when I made that emergency call and having 25-30 guys jump in to show support during that was the best feeling in the world. No matter what I had going on somebody was there.
I remember a day I was struggling and I ended up just jumping into an advanced program and the conversation was about embracing the chaos. That conversation alone made me realize the constant fighting,anxiety, fear I had anytime my wife would show up was down right stupid it was unwarranted on my part and it’s what she wanted because she was feeding off of it. As soon as I stopped letting her get to me in that way it drove her absolutely insane!
During the program my kids would leave notes telling me dad your doing awesome keep up the good work we see the change in you. Friends noticed how the program I was changing how I wasn’t getting so stressed out about things anymore.
This program works the support system here works not only have I changed for the better I watched the change in my own brother and our relationship grow. We talk to each other on a regular basis now as before we would go months without hearing anything from each other and when we did it was how are you I’m good ok talk to you later to now we can talk for an hr or more.
I’m able to have deeper conversations with my kids and friends without getting overwhelmed by it all.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t owe these guys the appreciation and gratitude for everything they do. These men here push you to be the best person they know you can be and then push you even further. And they are cheering you on the entire way. Who wouldn’t want their own personal cheer team cheering them on
invest into the program it’s the greatest investment you could ever make in yourself

I came from a background of years of being told I was an addict, and I was powerless to my addiction and I would be for the rest of my life
Within the first week of the Warriors Way phalanx calls I received support and an approach to fight what your going through in every way, depression, finances, relationship, addictions, ect like I had never seen before, daily calls where I watched men conquer there demons in real time, watched men challenge each other without blame shame and judgement, watched men build each other up and offer support and guidance in a way i didnt know existed.
When I went through the spartan training unit I was with a group of men who all had the same goal, to break the curses put on us and to become the best men possible, to be better husbands, fathers, leaders, and brothers to each other! I went deep into my default programming, past traumas, belief systems, wants and goals, understanding how to battle doubt, depression, fear, anger, denial and excuses in a way that was tactical and usable and not over complicated to understand, and the final battle at the end was incredible! I am a completely different man and healthier than I have ever been in my life! And there more to go and a drive to keep bettering myself through the many programs and groups available through the program!
I can't speak highly enough of Rick Yee and the Warriors Way community, it has changed my life radically, I accomplished more in less than a year than I did in 6 years of 12 step recovery models and therapy, the support and knowledge, and willingness to battle the nastiest demons in your life is unrivaled, if you are ready to become a Warrior and lock shields with the brotherhood this is the way!
Reach out to us and we will pull you out of hell and crush curses together, no men are made powerless, come take your power back, and be the best version of yourself you can be!

In the beginning. It’s not easy. It’s hard. To find who you are. After being lost for so long. No one ever said that the road to success was going to be easy. But the journey, is soooo well rewarding after beating each challenge and learning from that experience. Having the tools to FINALLY fight back. It’s incredible.
I suffered from major loss and pts, but had adjacently tied to many other things. Having a father who was not the best role model. Showed me what a woman beater and womanizer was by the time I were five. Parents divorce at 12. Family starting their passing at 15 and continued on through into late 20’s. By the time I were 18, father had shown what a child molester looks like. Married @ 21, divorced @ 26. Also had abandonment issues due to the amount of loss.
I found Rick on tik tok 2 years ago and he had explained how pts was possible to beat. Just takes some digging. I like a good challenge and being able to push the limits. After 5 insurance type therapists, who only seemed to scratch the surface, and after trying hypnotherapy (meditation, which I love and still do to this day) I figured why not. Let’s put it to the test.
I beat anger and tamed him. Anxiety ran away. Depression started to crumble. No more triggers. Every other piece started to unfold. It’s a journey that can forever evolve. I can now be able to confidently stand and allow family to show their love and support to my daughter. Yet still have boundaries when needed. It took some time and dam, he was right. Took some digging. After burying for years. I had tools to go back in. Best part, wasn’t alone either. Was also able to rewrite some of my beliefs as well. Something I’ve never been able to do.
I am forever grateful for finding this great group of people. This is what they do. This is their purpose. To heal those who seek it. To help those who have been looking for a way out.

I'm having to ammend this a little bit, but I think my testimony is still worth putting out there.
When I started this program, I was broken. I had no self identity, I had no direction, no real motivation. My marriage was beginning to crumble.
I went through the course and realized that all of the things I was dealing with had the same roots: shame, fear, and denial. Once I started doing my work on those areas, I was finally able to create motion in life.
There are parts of my life that still need some deep reconstruction, but I have already rebuilt my inner "home base" and now have the tools and equipment to fight the monsters out of those areas in my life and begin rebuilding. I went from being a sayer and thinker to being a doer.
Time to get to work. This is the way.

Like many of you, I found out about this program via tiktok and the "hey babe" videos. After watching a few of them I became interested and dug deeper. At this stage I knew that something was missing, something wasn't right in life. My relationship was on the rocks, my kids were driving me to anger very quickly, life was monotonous day to day. I finally had a call with Rick because I figured "what do I have to lose? It's one phone call." That was 2 years ago. Since that time I have been able to understand myself, how I operate, how I think. I have learned what I struggle with and how to overcome those struggles. I have learned effective communication and how to express feelings again. Above all else, I rediscovered my purpose, I found direction. What started with a phone call led to training, battling demons inside that I didn't even knew existed, finding the little kid inside of me that just needed a hug and for someone to tell him it's all gonna be okay. Now here I sit with a growing community of men that have done the exact same thing, men that have each other's backs, challenge each other to understand not argue, provide different perspectives. I found a brotherhood.

Too Good To Be True.
That's what I thought when I first heard about "The Warrior's Way Mindset" and subsequent community.
I was proven wrong...
Here's my story:
I spent years between 2 therapists, attempting to gain closure between workplace and childhood trauma. Times got tougher, major stressors began piling up, and here comes physical disability, wreaking havoc to my mental health. My mind, body, marriage, and finances took a massive hit. Deeper and deeper into depression I sank. Now, more than ever before, did I need to pull myself out of the black hole of depression.
I sought after a psychologist, someone who could audit my mind, discover what went wrong and how to make it right. I lacked tools in which I could pull myself out of depression with. Any doctor is only as good as they were trained to be. After 2 years of psychotherapy, the tires of depression were still spinning in the mud, digging ever deeper. Just when I thought I had reached the bottom of depression, I was mistaken. The floor gave way to a level of depression that I didn't know existed.
Shortly after this moment is when my friend M.P. first told me about "The Warrior's Way Mindset" and community. I was apprehensive to say the least. 'A men's group?' I thought to myself, 'I don't think that's for me.'
I check out the website, check out the videos, and with M.P.'s reassurance, participated in a few Phalanxes. Then Rick Yee invites me to beta-test his 1 week "Defeat depression in 7 hours" course. I had nothing to loose, enveloped by depression, and here's this guy offering to teach me how to defeat depression in 7 hours, when years of therapy has yet to accomplish this seemingly impossible task?!
" I'm in! " was my reply.
By the next week, the unstoppable force that is Rick Yee, followed through with his promise and destroyed the immovable object that was my depression. It was then, that I truly learned the difference between trained and untrained.
Thank you Rick, for making the impossible, possible.

My Journey to “The Bonfire”
When I first joined this group I was seeking a deeper sense of understanding and connection. Like many, I faced personal challenges and felt the need for a supportive space to explore these issues.
Initially, I was uncertain about opening up, but the group’s feedback and shared wisdom quickly made me feel at ease. The discussions and insights I gained were transformative. Each session brought new perspectives and reinforced my sense of peace and growth.
Today, I feel a profound sense of inner calm and purpose. The support I’ve received has been invaluable, and the desire to share this journey with others has grown immensely.
If you’re considering joining us, know that you’ll find a community ready to support you, offer guidance, and help you grow. The path may not always be easy, but it is incredibly rewarding.
I look forward to becoming a part of the trained Spartans within this group, but until then I look forward to the path ahead of me.
Take the step, and discover the growth and peace that await you.

When I first stepped into this brotherhood, I was carrying the weight of heartbreak, self-doubt, lack of self-worth, defeating defaults, and a deep sense of failure in my marriage, which ended in Divorce. I was deep in the pit and I didnt even know which way was up or down. I felt disconnected from who I was, yet determined not to stay there. I faced many Enemies within and Scorpion fell many times, but I got back up. The Warrior’s Way became a lifeline, that saved me from the sinking ship that I built.
Through this path, I’ve come to face hard truths: that I used to operate from a lack of self-worth, emotional dependency, craving validation and fearing abandonment. With the tools from Spartan Training, and the support of the Brotherhood, I'm reclaiming my power. I stopped reacting from my wounds and started responding from a place of authenticity. I’m no longer seeking to be saved I’m choosing to stand as a man who leads himself. No ones coming to save me, I learned I needed to become a Good Man to save me from my old self.
I’ve been given an amazing opportunity to step into mentorship now, not because I have all the answers, but because I know the terrain. I’ve been in the darkness. I’ve wrestled with the pain. And I’ve come out clearer, stronger, more grounded. I share my story, my poetry, and my heart with others, because I believe that healing shared becomes healing multiplied. All thanks to other Brothers that inspired and believed in me along the way. Stronger TOGETHER!
This isn’t the end of the road, it’s just the beginning. But today, I move forward not from desperation, but from honor, I will honor the losses by refusing to stay stuck, and grow from every lesson I learned. I still love deeply, but I no longer betray myself in the process. I know that for my Pack to thrive, I have to be the BEST me, not a GOOD GUY but a GOOD MAN. That’s the Warrior’s Way. And I’m proud to walk it, and the pure joy I get when New Brother's arrive and are growing too, its a Blessing and a Blip, my life Happened For Me not To Me, and I wouldn't see me wanting to be anywhere else now.
Now in the True Essence of being Reborn through the Warriors Way as the Phenix I share this short poem.
I walked through fire, lost in flame,
Doubt did whisper, calling my name.
But in the dark, a creed stood tall
The Warrior’s Way, I heard the call.
No longer bowed beneath the weight,
I faced my fear, reclaimed my fate.
Each step in truth, each breath a fight,
Until I rose, reborn in light.
Now wings of ash and flame I bear,
A Phoenix rising through the air.
And for the ones still in the night,
I burn to be their guiding light.
Gerald
There was a time when doubt clouded everything—my faith, my purpose, and my ability to lead. I struggled silently, unsure of how to show up fully as a man, a father, and a believer. But as I leaned into God, the fog began to lift. Through prayer, accountability, and honest work in the Warriors Way, I found clarity and strength. God's grace didn't just carry me through—it refined me. Today, I'm not only stronger mentally and spiritually, but I'm also leading my household with confidence and compassion. I'm standing firm in my faith and walking beside other men, reminding them that healing is possible, no matter how dark it may seem.

Before I joined Warrior’s Way, I thought I had already done the work. I had read the books, survived the storms, and carried the weight of others for years. But Rick didn’t let me hide behind that. He challenged me in a way no one ever had - with brutal clarity, deep presence, and the kind of trust that only comes from someone who has walked through hell with his eyes open.
Rick doesn’t rescue men - he reminds them. Of their fire. Of their responsibility. Of the goddamn truth they’ve been avoiding. Under his leadership, I stopped playing small. I stopped blaming the world and started building one I was proud of. The work is hard, but it’s real. And it’s worth it.
If you’re looking for comfort, look elsewhere. But if you’re ready to face the mirror and rise with purpose - Rick Yee is the mentor who will not let you stay a watered down version of yourself.

From Loner To Leader
“Hi, my name is Cris Flores and I wanted to share my experience working with The Warrior's Way Mindset…''
I struggled with depression and anxiety and drinking. Also not much confidence. Now that I have gone through The Warriors Way I have gained tools to combat that.
I was at my breaking point, my rock bottom. I was working at a job that I was unable to go anywhere at, I felt defeated and I was drowning in my own filth. I was drinking a ton I was depressed
I have accomplished so much with Rick and my fellow warriors. I am no longer having issues with my drinking I am at a better job. I am still leveling up and continuing to grow stronger everyday not just with the other warriors but also physically. I started to going to the gym and for some of you might not think that’s a big accomplishment but for me to continue to grow I knew I had to do it and keep on changing for myself.
I would highly recommend going through the warriors way. It can be tough and hard at times but I am so glad that I went through the program.
Not only do you get coaching but you build a brotherhood that will forever be your brothers in arms who you can lock shields with and battle all of the shit that is going on in your life. I was pretty hesitant about joining but I came to the realization that I really needed help and I am so great full for Rick who has helped me grow stronger

So the reason I joined was that I wanted to be a better mom for my kids and a better wife to my husband than what I saw from my own mother. I knew there were generational curses that needed broken from childhood and I was at my breaking point because I couldn’t do it on my own. My brother told me about Rick and I booked a call. Once I talked with someone I knew I needed to learn how to be a warrior.
Breaking Point

As an extension of the Warrior's Way Men's Group, honestly, I wasn't sure about this group at first when it started. I mostly just sat back and listened. However, as it grew, I saw the good it is for so many of us men who are going through so many different battles on the daily.
I learned very quickly, "the flaming Elmo's" group is the real deal, a group of Men in who truly care for one another, It's a brotherhood. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of clowning around and smack talk to each other (like brothers do). But when It's on, It's on, I have been a part of and have witnessed with my own eyes and ears, Big Strong MEN, just reeling and going through it, break down and let it all out, and almost in unison we all come together collectively lock shields and lift that Brother up, and battle with him until that enemy has been defeated. Brothers stay up all hours of the night, till the wee hours of the morning to make sure their fellow Warrior has made it through to the other side. And then armor up to be ready for the next battle.
I have been a part of many, many different groups in my 52 years of life, even those with a spiritual aspect to them. I can honestly say, I have never been a part of a group (and doubt I ever will again) such as this group. A group of MEN who fight side-by-side with you until the battle ends in Victory. The overused term "Stronger Together" has truly found its meaning here.
To all my Warrior's Way and especially my Flaming Elmo's brethren, I Love you, and Godspeed.

Honestly it was every live I attended of his on TikTok. I sat there for 6 months watching his TikToks. His live stream is what finally was the hook line and sinker. I was in and watching a man do his thing live and watching the intelligence and how he approached things with almost fatherly attitude versus how do I put this politely hey well it's not my f****** problem type attitude really changed my outlook on this whole program and what you guys were trying to do. You can always pretend to be something your not for a 2 minute TikTok but its something else to keep that up for like an hour and a half or even over a period of like 6 months and watching his content over and over and over I realized he was the real deal. And I know I probably sat back too long and observed but that's what it took for me to finally pull the trigger to make that initial call
Fatherly Attitude
Nick
My reason for calling Rick was I didn’t know how to break generational curses, I didn’t want to have a lack of or worst case scenario mindset any longer and pass it along like it was modeled for me. I was entertaining a relationship that was a step up from what I had (which was still clearance section value), and I couldn’t seem to end it; I was people-pleasing to new unhealthy levels and semi-slowly killing myself with hard-core workouts and starving myself to finally be perfect.
