Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerel Jackson
Hi Jerel , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Growing up in high school I was always pushed to get bigger the wrong way. I was told by some of my coaches in high school to eat, eat, eat and eventually started to gain unnecessary weight and not muscle. ” Don’t get me wrong I admired my coaches for seeing the potential in me. But physically what I was doing was very unhealthy to my body.
Also women didn’t really notice me and I didn’t like looking at myself in the mirror so I had to make a change! so the gym became my best friend and a place to keep me sane.
I started reading more about food and health. How America lacks their involvement of the FDA.
im currently still learning everyday to teach people a better way other than fast-food !
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
struggles come all the time. I had 13k followers on instagram for almost 2 years with no growth. I began to develop thoughts on quitting and giving up on my passion of fitness. social media makes you feel like your loosing in life but you have to understand that real life and social media are two completely different things.
so I started recording how I lived and stop caring about views. I wanted real engagement from real people. I wanted a real connection with my audience.
I was pre-diabetic for a while and I had to change the way I wanted look and to be healthy!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
SHLAT is an acronym for Spiritual , Humble , Longevity, Attitude and Time. and I correlated all of that with GAINZ. Im a coach that transform men from being obese or scrawny to being jacked, lean and healthy !
Im authentic and really don’t care what other people think of me! I want people to feel my content and relate to what im saying.
My brand is growing to help elevate people to become healthy and knowledgable on nutrition !
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
stay patient and learn from experience.
learn from mentors and steal confidence from people you want to be like.
stay humble
