From a very early age Trinidad Garcia III, of Oxnard, California, had an eye for fashion. With shoes clean and clothes pressed and color coordinated, he headed out for elementary, high school and college. Then in the mid nineties he decided to create his own line of clothing, and his dream enterprise started out promising, but then it sputtered and failed. He decided he needed more self-discipline and to accomplish this, he would join the Marines - or would he? 
“You’re too old, Garcia,” he was told. “Our maximum age for enlistment is twenty-seven. You’re thirty-one. Go get a job.” 
But he didn’t want a job. He wanted to become a Marine and his recruiter, Sargent Luke, decided to see if there was anything he could do for him. Luke learned that the recruiting numbers in parts of the country back east were down, and if Garcia would apply from one of those areas, they might wave the age limit rule. Franklin Tennessee was just the place, and they took him. Several hundred men filed in for boot camp in September of 2008, and Garcia was the oldest one - by far. 
He became a machine gunner, spending time in Twenty-nine Palms, California, Okinawa, Japan, and on two military vessels, the USS Essex and the USS Harper’s Ferry. After his first tour of duty he re-enlisted, then after his second tour he considered staying in the Marines for the long haul, but the design bug bit him once again. He applied to and was accepted at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles.
    While a student at  FIDM Garcia found purpose and a mission to Power Veterans. He  served as President SVA FIDM Chapter and was instrumental in opening the Fashions Schools 1st Veteran center. Also, while a student established Trinidad 3 Jeans. He is most proud of the Jeans he designed for US Marine Corps Veteran Amputee  Corporal Josue Barron, who lost his left leg and left eye in Afghanistan. This Jean won a Rivet Award Best show piece 2020 at Project show in Las Vegas.  He is very active in the Veteran Community. He  advocates, participates and donates to Veteran Organizations such as Merging Vets and Players, Save the Brave,  and Sarges Resource Center. While he works at building his Jean Company, he works on training warfighters at US Naval base Point Mugu, California.

WK 18 - 49ers at RAMS: As most of us suspected this season, and the Niner  playoff hopes, come down to the last week of the season with a final road trip to play their good friends the LA Rams. Win and they are in with one of the remaining wildcard spots.  Lose and not so good, although there are ways they could make it. Joining us this week  to kick it all around is Offensive Tackle Tom Compton, Gunnery Sergeant Chris Holm and First Lieutenant Alec Mayhan.

Tom is a 9-year vet coming out of South Dakota, taken by the  Washington FB team in the 6th round of the 2012 draft. He is listed at 6’6” 315 lbs. Tom is married to Tiffany. They have a new baby boy Theo, born last November. Also, a  daughter Tate, who is a year and a half old. Welcome Tom to the show!!

Our special military guests bring together some connections for Bruce and his football days at Iowa. Our first guest is Marine Gunnery  Sergeant Chris Holm. Chris has been on 5 combat tours and on one of those served as Gunnery  Sergeant to our other guest for tonight, First Lieutenant Alec Mayhan. Alec is the son of Dave  Mayhan, who was a fellow offensive lineman at the University of Iowa with Bruce back in his  playing days where they played together on the 1981 Iowa Big Ten Championship Team, which  played in the 1982 Rose Bowl Team. We welcome GSG Holm and 1LT Mayhan to the show.

WK 15 - 49ers v FALCONS: Welcome HPP fans, friends and followers! Niners
are back home in Cali this week after a thriller in OH. Bringing back an OT victory over
the Bengals 26-23 with a heroic drive in OT for the victory, secured by a 12 yard TD
reception and run by Brandon Aiyuk. Now at 7-6 they are right in the thick of things for a
playoff spot, with a chance to eliminate one of the contenders in the Atlanta Falcons,
who visit Levis stadium this Sunday for what is a critical matchup in these final 4 weeks
of the season. Joining us to talk all things Niners, as well as fashion and fun, is safety
Jimmie Ward. 

We hope you all enjoy the show!

As the Niners head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals we sit down with Dan Brunskill and Adam Clark. 

Heading into his 5th season, Dan Brunskill is a key 
component of the 49ers team this year as the starting right guard.. Dan is another 
important cog in the offensive line battling to protect Jimmy and keep that Niner run
game rolling.

Our MVP guest, Adam Clark, says he has been a Bengals fan since he was born. This episode goes deep into mindfulness practices and different practices that he relies on to take care of his mental health and show up as the best he can be. 

It's okay to not be okay. And it's okay to admit that to yourself and to others. But it's important to remember that there are tools and resources that can help you to shift the energy so that it doesn't become all consuming and take you out. 

Both of these interviews flew by and we are so grateful for them coming on to share their stories.
