Garrison has always been fascinated by the way that people connect and interact. Especially when it comes to male - female relationship

dynamics. He focuses on what it means for a man to be playfully

and authentically in his masculine power and how that allows

space and is attractive to powerful women. Garrison will soon be

launching a podcast in which he interviews AMAZING women to

gain even more insight into what they're looking for in a partner.

Habit of Thought:

"It's my philosophy around dating and relationships. Run toward your highest excitement. If you find someone else doing those things, it's likely there's an alignment there. Introduce yourself."

"Be kind to other people because everyone is in their own private battle that you know nothing of."

Habit of Action:

"Having a morning ritual – reading, working out, stretching, yoga, meditation. The more I come into my body, the more my head actually clears, the more I think better."

Greatest area of strength:

"I feel like I can see people really well. People say they feel 'seen' by me. Women feel like they can be themselves around me."
