Working with George is the best decision I have made for me personally as well as for my business. He helped me identify bottlenecks, provided process improvement, and streamlined efficiencies. I’m now a better leader and a better man. George’s guidance helped my business earn as much revenue in January 2025 as we did for the entire 1st Quarter of 2024.
David Bryson, Father of a Student at Event.
George spoke to our students at our event, Fields of Faith, and wow- what a game-changer! He gets it: the trauma young people carry from past generations and how many young people feel they are trapped by their circumstances. His story cuts through that noise – raw, real, and relatable. You could see the kids light up, connecting their own struggles to his journey of overcoming the odds. His stage energy is magnetic. He kept everyone hooked. We need more voices like his speaking to our youth.
Nick Alfano, Founder and CEO, The Program
Having George on stage at our event was a game-changer. His direct approach and crystal-clear messaging truly resonated with our audience, making him an instant crowd favorite. His ability to deliver powerful insights with such clarity is unmatched.
Firefighter
Attending Lakeia's recent speech on perseverance was a profoundly impactful experience, especially for someone like me in the demanding field of firefighting. Her ability to weave personal anecdotes with universal truths about overcoming adversity resonated deeply.
Lakeia's message was more than just inspirational; it was a powerful reminder of why resilience is essential in our line of work. She spoke with such authenticity about facing challenges head-on and the importance of pushing through difficult moments. As a firefighter, I often encounter situations that test my limits both physically and mentally, and her insights provided me with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.
Her stories were incredibly relatable, highlighting the struggles and triumphs that mirror our own experiences in the field. I walked away feeling energized and more equipped to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.

I started working with Nick after I reached out to Reps for Responders when I was struggling with my mental health and alcohol. I had just relocated from Arizona to NY and had felt like I lost my purpose. I was immediately able to build a connection with Nick, and he helped me feel like I was not alone in my troubles. Together, we worked on identifying character defects, implementing new healthy habits, and worked on my perspective and thought process. After a failed relationship in NY and with the help of Nick, I felt confident to make another major life decision and move back to Arizona. I was then able to find my purpose again as a helper, specifically a Firefighter. I am now employed as a fulltime Firefighter and feel like my old self again. Right now, I am exactly where I need to be in life and this would not be possible without Nick's help.

I cannot begin to express my satisfaction working with Nurse Practitioner, Jennifer Wheeler. Thank you for being dedicated, thoughtful, and attentive. NP Wheeler has a lovely combination of professionalism and energy! I really enjoyed her knowledge of a more holistic approach to medicine through breathing techniques, hydration, proper sleep patterns, and natural vitamins. Her passion and creativity to a healthy outcome is priority number one. It feels reassuring to work with her and I appreciate her wisdom and positivity.

I’ve been in corporate leadership for 20 years and follow all of the worlds greatest speakers to ensure I stay aligned with a healthy foundation and growth mentality. I firmly believe your tribe will determine your future - and I’m honoured to include Denny in my tribe. He brings heart, strength, discernment and perspective that all leaders in todays world need.
Ian Ramirez
Hearing Denny Giamazzo’s story had a profound impact on me, despite our lives taking completely different paths. His journey, from enduring childhood abuse to navigating military service-related trauma, gave me a new perspective on healing, moving forward, and redefining success regardless of life’s challenges. After losing my daughter to suicide, I was left devastated, struggling with indescribable despair. While Denny’s story is different from mine, it showed me that life can continue, and it’s how we choose to live each day that truly matters. His words came to me at a time when I needed them most, and the experience was incredibly powerful.

Thank you for your authenticity, your courage to share, and your heart for others to seek wellness. God Bless You on this journey, and to your wife and children.
Such an inspiring message that many need to hear, and one that I'm sure isn't easy to discuss in a large room full of strangers. Thank you so much for sharing and helping others that are struggling with PTSI trauma.

Kate taught me how to transform my struggles into personal growth. One breakthrough came when she had me create a vision board to clarify my values and goals. Thanks to her, I’ve found purpose and confidence I never thought possible.
Anna S.
Kate helped me uncover the root of my depression and gave me the tools to rebuild my confidence and purpose. One powerful moment was when she guided me through reframing my negative self-talk into affirmations that aligned with my values. With her support, I’ve regained hope and feel ready to face life’s challenges.

She did an outstanding job of blending the information the Marines needed for nutrition, with the cost benefits of making themselves meals that are healthy and cost conscious. I could not have asked for a more perfect brief. Her time on stage spurred tons of questions and interaction with the Marines.
If you are in need of someone who brings knowledge, energy, and technical skill to your team, as it relates to nutrition and being a 'Tactical Athlete', I would immediately contact Rebecca and see how she can help your team.
Jay Hanson, Firefighter, Fitness & Wellness Coordinator Lemont Fire Protection District
Rebecca and her team have gone above and beyond to meet our needs. They traveled to Chicago in the winter for an in-person nutrition and mobility training session for all on duty personnel. Between the assigned daily workouts and the optional, goal-specific programs, our personnel always have an opportunity to improve themselves right at their fingertips. I strongly recommend them as a solution to meet your organizational and individual fitness needs. They cover it all; strength, mobility, endurance, nutrition, recovery, sleep. We handle the calls and leave wellness to the experts.

PJ Langmaid Chief | Black Forest Fire and Rescue
"Selecting Nick Lavery to provide mentorship, perspective, and insight was one of the best decisions I have made to provide my team what they need. Nick Lavery provided them not just the example of leadership and determination but also the path and the tools to replicate his processes and methods to overcome our internal friction points allowing each member of my team to grow, learn, develop, lead, and win.”

“Nick and Team Machine provided outstanding service to the 175th Operations Group. His combat mode is exactly what Attack pilots will emulate in dynamic environments. Nick sets the mental toughness standard which is critical to combat lethality."
