Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryan Wesley Williams.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I came back to Los Angeles on April 12, 2013 from Tempe, AZ. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Geography degree, and I attended Grad School afterward. I came back to Los Angeles as an Aerospace Engineer at Ducommun Aerostructures. But as I was doing that, I was training at Golds Gym Venice Beach, and had gotten a membership there on April 13, 2013. When I attended Arizona State, I was part of the track team, and have always been inspired to compete in the Olympic Trials. So when I came back to Los Angeles, I was doing corporate work and training like an athlete for the Olympic Trials. Being at Golds Gym and Equinox has introduced me to the film and modeling industry within the entrepreneur sector. I will compete in the track and field sport (100m/200m) as I train at Golds Gym Venice Beach, model, act, and work on production sets while I do Aerospace during the day and weekdays.
In 2014, I got laid off from my AeroSpace Job and made the decision to become a Personal Trainer. So I can get more integrated with athletics, film, modeling, and acting. But unfortunately I lost all my assets because I did not have the knowledge of an entrepreneur. This led to me sleeping in my car, but as I was doing so, I would read books and watch YouTube videos about Philosophy, Anatomy, Tech, Physics, and Politics in order to continue my education and keep me informed. My financial situation got so bad that I lost my car and was forced to stay with my grandmother. I made the decision to sleep in my car because I did not want to go back home. I do not want anyone to feel pity or sympathy for me in this regard because it was a decision I made for myself. I had a vision of what type of man I wanted to be since age seven. It was understood from an early age that the highest of all men had to endure struggle in order to be a “great man”. I made a commitment to God that I was not going to run away from struggle and adversity and pursue knowledge, wisdom, and supreme intellect to overcome struggle and defeat adversity. Then, be present in the experiences that will make me grow into the man I want to become.
As I was doing personal training, modeling, and acting. I was not making any money or having any sponsors. Every year was a training year, which meant I was not competing in my sport. What made everything worse was I hurt my back so badly to the point I wouldn’t walk for six weeks. So, my “powers” were taken away, and this really changed my training philosophy and my entire outlook on the human mind and body.
Sure enough, I finally started making money. I made enough to where I could get my own place in Venice Beach, CA. I got myself my own car and bought my own camera equipment to pursue my filmmaking career on a higher note.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It was a brutal road because training at a place like Gold Gym Venice Beach, you are around the elites. When you are within an elitist society, competition becomes vast. When you are around someone stronger, then you must be smarter. If you are around someone smarter, you must be discrete and conservative. Because everyone in such a society is trying to “make it” and be “successful”. If one sees another “moving up” in their field, then a lot of things can happen. But what has happened to me and what I have seen is deterrence, consumption, sabotage, misguidance, and most important of all… “serpent-ism” (or new concepts of Machiavellism to achieve power).
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a fitness trainer, photographer, and videographer who is inspired to be a filmmaker.
I am known to be “MetalGear” at Gold Gym Venice Beach. Sometimes “mo hawk guy”. My style of training focuses on functionality with athleticism. But I indoctrinate rehabilitation as a priority. My clients love the rehab concepts I teach them in order to be pain-free and do complex and functional movements with confidence. Therefore, their world of being a husband, wife, worker, athlete, or whatever my clients do on a day-to-day basis is enhanced. This is my unique style of Self-Advancement / Investment. I like to discuss the philosophy of exercise and training, as well as a little bit of exoteric and esoteric knowledge on the origins of health, training, and fitness. This is another way for someone to enhance their education and expand their mind to areas that can enhance their pattern of thinking and way of life.
As a photographer, I see my work as an act of empowerment. I have developed my virtues and morals to where I have a unique relationship with women. My virtues embody freedom but in a divine state, not materialism. I enjoy capturing a woman’s sensuality and divinity. I do it by creating a very free, open, and comfortable space. So they can build up their confidence then as I take some practice shots. I give them a review of what I capture so they can develop their vision of how they want to pose. I coach women how to pose as empress or some concept of a ruler outside of the “Queen Complex”. So they can achieve a higher and newer outlook of themselves and tap into a beauty that they did not tap into before. Same with the men, except make it very gentlemanly.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
Established boundaries and borders, then have the courage to enforce them if necessary.
