The GCG story. People before profit.

I figure this story may start the same as many others. Child with a rough upbringing who played sports, got into fitness, and overall just had the " I like to stay in shape" life.  Up and down for years I tried every diet, diet fad, workout fad ( Yeah I'm old and tried Tae-Bo) I was also the guy who got addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and more.  Hard to say I cared about my health while simply destroying my body. 

Throw this into 37 years of life which led to having two mini strokes in the span of 10 months all while thinking " Oh yeah. I'm in shape" ( Let's not forget the excessive drinking 7 days a week while working 24/7 and having zero days off)

After 15 years of working in the oil field, 20 years of abusing my body. You figure enough is enough, but you dont. 

Then one day you meet someone, and then you meet their parents, and you see the health of people who " did it right" , and you just tell yourself ITS NOT FAIR. You KNOW ways to help! But of course, in America when it comes to things like this. It's always so expensive. As a normal person a protein bar can be over $3 a bar, BUT.. as a business owner.. HMMMMM things become cheaper.  Rewind back to that " you met someone moment" , and that someone says " Why not do what you love then? Why not help people? "  And like a kick in the ass that it was, you decide to do it. Why not help people? Why not save a little over here, to help a little over there.  You dont have 846239 employees. Profits don't need to be in the billions... You simply can HELP while still establishing a good foundation.

So I sat down and for 2 weeks, I didn't move from in front of screens. How can I start a business? How can I wholesale? How can I distribute? How can I MAKE MY OWN product? Well I asked all the questions ,and somehow I kept finding answers. 

I created Grand Canyon Gains. Which then led into 72 pieces of merch within 4 weeks. Which led into helping to distribute peptides. Which led into becoming a whole saler for my favorite brands. Which has now led to creating my first two products " Zero Flashes Given" and " Block Party"  ( coming March 2026) 

I gave up an entire oil field career with support from a couple people around me. The guy who 20 years ago was a cocaine addicted homeless loser. To, well... let's help people get healthy. Let's put people before profit. Let's bring the community together for ONE goal, and that's to have a longer healthier life. 

I'm 100% ready for this journey. Let's do this
