In this raw and vulnerable solo episode of The Gynergy Effect, Garin opens up about one of the most powerful mindset shifts of his life — the concept of living each day as a bonus day.

This idea wasn’t born from inspiration alone — it came from pain. From carrying the weight of loss, divorce, and fear. From sleepless nights, anxiety, and feeling trapped in the prison of his own mind. And from a breaking point that nearly cost him everything.

But instead of giving in, Garin made a decision: to let go of fear, release what no longer served him, and live each day as if it were a gift. A new chance. A bonus day.

We talk about:

• How the weight of grief, divorce, and burnout brought Garin to his breaking point
• The moment he chose to stop living in fear — and how a leap (literally, a bungee jump) changed everything
• Why living each day as a bonus day frees you from the past and opens space for purpose
• How to align your daily actions with your deepest values
• Practical steps to create your own bonus day, starting with one decision and one commitment
• Why your past doesn’t define you — and how to rewrite your future in the present moment

This episode is for anyone carrying the weight of fear, regret, or self-doubt — and craving a fresh start. If you’ve ever wondered how to break free from old stories and step fully into your purpose… this one’s for you.

💬 Tell us your biggest takeaway or how you’re creating your bonus day — we’d love to hear it.

This isn’t just about stretching. It’s about stretching yourself — out of autopilot, out of dysfunction, and back into alignment with your body’s highest intelligence.

Kyle shares powerful stories and evidence-based tools from over 20 years of experience working with elite athletes, military leaders, high-performing CEOs, and everyday warriors.

In this honest and eye-opening episode of The Gynergy Effect, I (Yesi) sit down to interview Garin, for a powerful conversation inspired by one of the most transformative books we’ve explored together: Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill.

This isn’t your typical book review. It’s a raw, personal, and revealing dialogue about how the “devil” shows up in our daily lives — through fear, distraction, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the hypnotic rhythms that keep us stuck.

Garin shares his perspective and lived experience around some of the book’s most powerful concepts — and how they relate to his personal journey, our relationship, and the movement we’re building through Gynergy. This one is vulnerable, thought-provoking, and filled with tools for reclaiming power and living with deeper purpose. 

We talk about:

• What “drifting” looks like in real life — and how to snap out of autopilot
• The fears that once held Garin hostage (and how he broke free)
• The rituals and mindset shifts that help anchor us back into alignment
• How culture, religion, and education can breed obedience instead of purpose
• The cost of inaction — and why doing nothing feeds the devil more than failure
• How Gynergy has become both a mission and a mirror
• Why fear loses its grip when you lean into gratitude, presence, and community

This episode is for the seekers — the ones breaking cycles, waking up to purpose, and doing the deep inner work to reclaim their lives.

In this honest and heartfelt episode of The Gynergy Effect, we (Garin & Yesi) open up about one of the clearest — and most aligned — decisions we’ve made in our relationship: choosing to stop drinking.

This wasn’t about rock bottom. It wasn’t about addiction. It was about alignment. About honoring how we wanted to feel in our bodies, our minds, and our partnership. We weren’t drinking much to begin with — but even “just one” started to feel off. It disrupted our sleep, spiked our anxiety, clouded our clarity, and dimmed our connection.
 
So, we decided to let it go — not from restriction, but from reverence. And the ripple effect? It’s been life-changing.
 
We talk about:

• Why it was actually one of the easiest decisions we’ve ever made
• The science behind how alcohol impacts sleep, anxiety, hormones, and decision-making
• How giving up drinking improved our communication, intimacy, and creativity
• The cultural pressure to drink — and how to navigate social settings with confidence
• What to ask yourself if you’re considering a shift
• Why you don’t need to wait for a “problem” to choose something better

 
This episode is for the seekers — the ones craving clarity, alignment, and full-body authenticity. If you're rethinking your relationship with alcohol, or simply exploring what helps you show up as your highest self… this one’s for you.
