Reginald D: Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D.
I'm your host Reginald D
On today's episode I have Michael Wood.
Michael Wood is the COO of Jarrett Companies.
Michael helped scale Jarrett companies to a 300 million dollar company.
Michael also teaches breath work inside maximum security prisons and it helps people break free from anxiety,
self doubt and emotional spirals.
Michael Wood: Welcome to the show, Michael. Thank you for having me, Reginald. Appreciate you.
Reginald D: Absolutely. Thank you. So Michael, I'd like to start out by asking my guests tell us a little bit about your childhood and where you grew up.
Michael Wood: Absolutely. If you don't mind, I would like to just say something real quick before we get started.
A couple days ago I dove in preparing for this and I watched a handful of your videos and man, you're doing great work. I left five star review and I just encourage everybody to go out there and do the same thing.
You are paying it forward and you're doing just amazing work uplifting people with your shows. Just one after another, just filled with information to just help the fellow man just get better, do better, motivate people.
And I just to say thank you for that.
Reginald D: Well, thank you. Wow man, thank you. Thank you so much for that.
Michael Wood: You're welcome. And so what'd you say about my childhood? I'm sorry, I almost lost the question. No, it's all good. Just tell us a little bit about
Reginald D: your childhood and where you grew up.
Michael Wood: So I grew up just outside of Los Angeles, California in LA County.
And I grew up in a pretty rough part of the world.
And my story growing up really surrounds my dyslexia, to be honest.
I couldn't read Till I was 25 years old. So I really struggled in school, Played sports, basketball, football, and just kind of started to get anxiety and depression at a very early age.
And it really surrounded just feeling less than because of my intelligence, to be honest.
Reginald D: Yeah, so let's talk about that. Before you were teaching breath work in maximum security prisons to helping people overcome anxiety.
Michael Wood: Yeah.
Reginald D: What was your battle with anxiety like?
Michael Wood: Man, it was wild because, you know, I knew it early on. I started feeling it physically in my body at a very early age.
And as I got older, you know, I always thought maybe when I graduate high school, you know, maybe some of this will leave and then, you know, when I get my own place, some of this will leave.
When I find the right woman, I get the better job. I kept thinking there was going to be something in front of me that was going to solve the problem.
And with each achievement that I got,
it was like, I don't know, a month maybe. Maybe not even that long of. All right, good job, Mike. You did this. But then the noises would get louder and louder.
It's like nothing that I ever achieved on the outside fulfilled me, really. Never really made me.
It never solved any of my problems that I was dealing with on a daily basis. So, you know, all the way till I was about 45 years old, it just kept getting louder and louder and louder and louder to the point where I was content with, you know,
meeting the expectations of my wife and my kids and being done. I didn't want to be here. It's. That's where I was seven years ago.
Reginald D: Yeah. So you face your own fears head on, though.
Michael Wood: Yeah.
Reginald D: Was there a defining moment when you realized anxiety wasn't going to control your life anymore?
Michael Wood: Yeah, it was that day, man. And I remember the day I told myself I was gonna quiet my mind by any means necessary. And.
And that day where just acknowledging that fact that I was done with the noise, I identified what was causing me pain. And it was, you know, the ruthless thoughts in my head.
And I turned that focus that I was having in the outside world to achieve things. I turned all that energy and that focus into inward on myself and started having success.
It was scattered, but I started making some progress.
Reginald D: Yeah. And I can relate to that because I. I had an episode one time when I was dealing with anxiety real bad. It's crazy how these things worked because I had this major anxiety attack, and all I was trying to do was.
Now I was, trust me, overworked in the process. Then I had the woman I was dating now is my wife.
And I think one of the things I wanted to do before I relocated her here is have a house built for her. And, man, in the process of doing it, I never had that done before in my life.
I didn't know what to do, was going by go to the design center, didn't know what this looked like. And, man, I had a breakdown one time, and it stuck with me.
After everything was done,
I still had this anxiety thing. And actually.
And I want to take up your time. I went to a doctor. I was like, man, something's wrong,
and was like, hey, you had his eye. So he put me on this pill,
and it made me feel like, ah, man, I don't feel right.
So I just stopped. And basically what I did is say, hey, I'm gonna have to figure this out,
you know, and I'm gonna have to do things like you said, cut out a lot of noise, kind of balance my life out and everything like that. And I've been good ever since.
I didn't take those pills. I just got out of it, you know,
said, ****, but it takes work.
You know, it takes work, but you got to put that mentality up front.
Michael Wood: Yeah. And that's the hard part. When we go to doctors and we go to therapists,
and I'm not saying they're bad,
because sometimes you need that immediate response and immediate help. But typically what they're dealing with is the symptoms. They're not dealing with the root cause of the problem.
And for me, it took me a long time to get there, but I found out where the root cause to the problems are. And that, to me, was just liberating.
And when I finally got to that place,
man, I just wanted to shout it to the rooftop and just tell everyone.
I became the crazy man who wanted to just help everybody and tell everybody whether you wanted it or not.
I had to learn real quick that not everybody wants your help. So I'll find another route.
Right? Exactly.
Reginald D: Exactly. So, Michael, you said something powerful. You said, you can't think your way out of anxiety. Break that down for us.
Michael Wood: Yeah. So it's a program.
So your system gets in fight or flight, right?
Well, it gets into the fear. Well, I call it two buckets, right? You got the fear bucket and love bucket. And there's a switch in the middle of your brain that most people have no idea exists.
And it's going to produce one of two chemicals. It'll produce cortisol, the fear drug. That puts you on high alert, which is what was happening to you when you were building that house.
You were stressed out. You were worried this wasn't going to happen. That wasn't going to happen.
And cortisol will take that fearful thought and snowball it. Like that one fearful thought is. Now it's all that you're going to think about.
Well, there's a switch in your head that can flip that over into the love bucket, and it'll just tell your whole system everything's okay, everything's saving.
And the way that you flip that switch is with the content of your thoughts. If you're having loving, compassionate thoughts,
you come over here to the love bucket, and the whole system will relax and calm down. But if you're having fearful, judgmental thoughts, you're going to get that cortisol, and it's going to put those negative thoughts on a reel.
And it's very simple to do some random little exercises, some what I call manual tools to Flip that switch over into the love bucket.
Mind if I tell a quick story about my son when I realized how powerful this was?
So we came up with the Grateful game. So my son, at the time, he was 8 years old.
He's 11 now.
And I had started doing a gratitude journal at the house for myself, right? Every morning, I'd get up and just write whatever I was grateful for for 10, 15 minutes.
And it just made me feel great.
And it let me know that a gratitude journal worked, but I didn't fully understand it at the time.
So my son comes upstairs one night, about 10 o' clock at night, and he is in tears. And he's never done this before. He never come upstairs with the monster talk.
Like, there's monsters in my closet. There's some scary man outside. And he is like snot and tears and just completely inconsolable.
And I'm like, oh.
He kind of shook me because I didn't know really what to do. And I just kind of went into go mode. And I was like, tuck,
I know what's wrong with you. You're in the fear bucket and we need to get you into the love bucket. And he's like, oh, okay, how do I do that?
And I'm like, well, if you could play a game with me,
I'll help you.
And it is real easy. He's like, okay, but I don't know how to play. I said, it's real easy. It's called the Grateful Game. And all you have to do is say what you're grateful for.
And he's still upset. He's like, oh, okay. And so I said, it's real easy, and I'll go first,
all right?
And I said, I'm grateful for the house that we live in. And he's like, okay, but I don't know what I'm grateful for. I said, well, what about your cats?
And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Leroy and Nala. I'm grateful for Leroy and Nala. And so we got going, right? And then I said, I'm grateful to be his dad.
And then he said he's grateful for his mama. And then, okay, so now we're Marola, right? I'm going. He's going. I'm going. He's going. Within two minutes,
he stopped crying. And I'm like,
okay,
all right. So we keep going. We keep going. Five minutes in, he's smiling,
he's laughing, and I'm like, what is what? Okay, like, this is actually working. Let's go. We kept going, right? 10, 15 minutes in, we are laughing, having the time of our life.
And I thought I was going to have to have a conversation with him about monsters in the closet or scary people outside,
but it ended up, I was just able to just give him a hug, tell him, all right, man, go back down upstairs, get in bed. We, you know, it's too late.
Like, you need to get back down.
He just walked back downstairs, got in bed and was out.
And to go back to your original question about anxiety and how you're able to turn it off,
it's the system.
Your system needs to know that it's safe. And you have to understand what it requires to flip it out of that fearful state into the love state,
because that's what turned his mind off. I didn't have to tell him anything about,
there's nobody outside your window or all I had to do is tell his system that he was safe.
And the grateful game, just saying what we were grateful for and compassionate for in the present moment, flipped him into that safe place.
And he was drug induced happy because we flipped the switch in two minutes and then the next 10 minutes we were doing that.
He was getting drug induced happy, and his body's telling him, I'm safe. So he felt great, wonderful. He was drug induced happy. When he went back downstairs and went to bed.
And it was, I was just like,
I was holy, man. I like, I can't believe it. I told my wife and whatever. But for me,
it was like a life altering moment of just how powerful it is to just reset a system.
Right? It was a wonderful dad moment. And we still play that grateful game, but it's for everyone. This is how we operate as humans and we should have been taught this at any second grade, but we just never were.
It's not about being positive just to be positive. It's about changing the content of your thoughts to tell your system that it's safe and it calms the whole system down.
Reginald D: Wow, Michael, that's amazing, man. That's.
Michael Wood: That's amazing, right?
Reginald D: A lot of sense, though.
Michael Wood: It makes a lot of sense.
Reginald D: It makes a lot of sense.
So now, you know, you teach breath work inside a maximum security prison.
So what happens when men who've lived in survival mode for years finally slow down and breathe,
man?
Michael Wood: Life changes. You know, the guys that I've been dealing with,
they got extremely long sentences or life and they're stuck in a cell. And I was telling you earlier joking about just trying to find somebody to help, right? Well, my program if you take it, it could take up to an hour a day, every day, seven days a week.
And so not everybody wants to do it, right? It's a lot of work to change who you are and whatever. But these guys, they got all the time in the world, you know, so you get them to buy in and understand what's happening here, show them some of the logic.
It's just life altering. Some of these guys, you know, I would ask somebody to take my program and work an hour a day. Some of these guys go into and they're working seven, eight hours a day on themselves, they're meditating and doing breath work for this amount of time because they got nothing else to do and they're seeing the benefits,
so they're just dumping themselves into it. And so for me, as you know, every teacher or coach, they just starve for that one student that is soaking it all up, right?
And these guys, man,
and there's only a handful of them because I can only work with so many. My time is limited.
But there's a handful that just soak it all up and just changes everything for them, man. And so the, the breath work, to be more specific about your question,
the breath work basically does what we just talked about with my son.
It lowers that baseline and tells them that they're safe. Because when the mind starts time traveling, when your mind's having fearful thoughts in the future, that's anxiety. When your mind's having fearful thought or negative thoughts about the past, that's where depression is coming from.
But in this present moment, right here, right now with you,
there isn't a problem in the world.
We're right here and everything is just beautiful. If we could just stay here, we would never have another negative thing ever happen to us, ever. Because it's beautiful right here in this moment.
And that's what we teach them. That's what I teach these guys in prison, is to just stop the time traveling thoughts and give them the tools to be able to do that.
And breath work is by far the most powerful tool to do that.
Reginald D: Yes. So, Michael, for someone listening right now who feel trapped in anxiety, what's the first small shift they can make today?
Michael Wood: You know, I'd say the first small one, I would say just doing that gratitude journal.
If you start that off at the beginning of your day, if you're suffering with anxiety, it will shift your day. You know, I've had some people take my program, and that is part of it, right?
When you first start out, you start doing the gratitude Journal, because it does all of these things. It brings your attention into the present moment,
and it flips you over and starts your day off with all these wonderful drugs. So now you. You just kind of start the day off wonderfully because you've manually shipped yourself over here.
So to me, that would be one of the first ways to do it.
And then, you know,
doing something like box breathing, a very simple breath work that you could do in the car on the way to work. You could do it in a meeting,
you could do it anywhere. You can do it online at the grocery store. You just take control of your breath,
and that awareness of your breath turns your thinking mind off. Because if you have any internal focus or you bring your attention into the present moment, anxiety has to stop.
You can't have any anxiety while your attention is focused inward.
And so that,
that pull into your system.
Now you're. You're not killing anxiety completely, but what you are doing is you start shifting time. You start splitting time between anxiety and feeling good. And over time,
that tide starts to shift a little bit to where you can manually shift yourself. Anxiety is relatively easy to get rid of with manual tools.
Depression now you have to go back and you have to remove attachments. You have to forgive yourself and others and go back to when you were two years old and rewrite core beliefs you didn't even know existed.
Like. So there are some root cause for depression that's. That sits in the past, that you have to actually go hunt it down and do real difficult work. But anxiety is relatively easy.
I have had a lot of people get off of anxiety medications within the first week, week and a half of taking my program just by using the manual tools.
Reginald D: Yes. And you also work with young women that stuck in anxiety. Why do you think this generation is struggling so deeply with peace and identity?
Michael Wood: You know, obviously social media, especially for young women, because they're comparing themselves to everybody on social media. But I honestly, my real answer is they're smarter than we are,
more emotionally intelligent, and they're realizing that they're not suppressing it.
Where in the past,
you know, my generation, you get told to rub dirt on it and get back in the game.
So I think anxiety's been there for a very long time in all of us, but now they're actually comfortable enough to speak about it.
And they may not be getting all the answers and help that they need, but they're aware of what's actually happening and willing to talk about.
At least women are. Men are still struggling in a much Higher rate,
yeah.
Reginald D: So now let's connect this to purpose. Do you believe anxiety sometimes shows up when we are called to something bigger?
Michael Wood: Um,
yeah, I think it can be, you know, if you're called to something bigger, you know, there's two parts of your body, right.
And they're in conflict. So you got the subconscious mind that's trying to keep you safe.
It doesn't want you to get out of the house. It doesn't want you to try something new because it's scary. And old fearful patterns from the past are still happening right now.
So that part of you is like, hey, you ain't going to get hurt if you stay safe over here.
But then you got another contrast side that is your higher self, your expansive self that wants to start a business.
Go find that girl,
you know, just get out, meet new people. Just that part of you wants to expand. And so to your question,
that part of you that's trying to expand is going to trigger that other side of you that's trying to keep you safe.
Your subconscious mind's number one job is to keep you safe. So as you try to expand, it's going to trigger that old stuff that you've been hurt from before.
It's going to trigger it. So absolutely, if you're trying to get out there in the world and do something more,
challenge yourself, get out of your safe zone,
your anxiety and all that stuff's going to get rattled when you're doing it.
Reginald D: Yes. And I know a lot of people who's dealing with that right now. So. Yeah, when I think about anxiety, I think about levels of anxiety.
Michael Wood: Yeah.
Reginald D: How do you help someone who feels called but paralyzed by anxiety?
Michael Wood: Yeah, you know,
anxiety can do that.
Anxiety could do it. I got folks in my family that it's doing it to them, so I completely understand it. And for me, I was paralyzed at times in my life from anxiety.
And to help somebody now what I would tell em to do if they were so overwhelmed and so literally paralyzed from it,
I would try to give them these simple tools, the breathing tools, the gratitude. Exercise, you know, exercise can really help. But if, typically what I've found is when somebody is,
is that paralyzed from anxiety,
it's really the depression.
They've got a boatload of things haunting them from their past.
Because the way that the subconscious mind works is you got stuff back here that's a program from when you were five, you got into an elevated emotional state when you were five years old and you got programmed like for me, because I couldn't Read very well.
When I was young, I got programmed with I'm stupid.
And so that program,
it happened in the present moment. I got programmed in the present moment when I was five in kindergarten was the first time that I ever felt that way.
And it happened in the present moment. And the subconscious mind has no concept of time.
So it's still happening right now. Unless I go back and rewrite that program, it's still happening.
So for somebody who's struggling with a lot of depression, they can have 50 or 500 of these individual moments where they experienced a fearful moment and got programmed with a clear intention that they were unworthy, unlovable, stupid, or ugly.
And those are the four major categories. And so if you have all these things that happen to you in a young age,
they're still happening to you right now.
Until you go back to them and rewrite those individual moments and reframe them with love, compassion, and forgiveness.
They sit there and they haunt you forever. Because your subconscious mind's number one job is to protect you from that moment ever happening again. So it's constantly scanning your world for that same thing being repeated.
And so that shows up as anxiety because you're scanning the future for something that happened in the past.
The reality is the root cause of it is something that happened in the past.
I don't know if that makes sense because it's. It's a lot. But that's what I found, is when somebody's anxiety is so off the charts,
it's not about what they're worried about in the future. It's the old programs of the past that are haunting them.
Reginald D: That makes a lot of sense. And I believe that anxiety actually drives you into depression if you don't deal with it.
Because I know people in my family have anxiety and dealt with anxiety, and they want to leave the house.
You know, they're like, no, I'm not doing this. Don't have a life at all.
It doesn't have anything to do. You know, they retire, you know, don't have anything to do. But they will not leave the house because of an anxiety issue. But now, over the years, you see, they are in depression now.
Michael Wood: Yep.
Reginald D: Ms. Costello, just let that anxiety build that wall up. And now they're definitely in the funk now because life is really just handling them bad way.
Michael Wood: Yeah,
yeah. The subconscious mind's job is to keep you safe. And so those family members you're talking about, their subconscious mind is telling them, don't leave the house. It's not safe out there.
You're not going to be okay out there. They're going to find out that you're unworthy, that you're unlovable, that you're stupid or ugly, one of those. And so they're like, well, if I stay in here, nobody's going to figure any of that out.
Like, they're literally terrified and they're staying in their safe place. And it's sad because that's what's actually happened inside of them. And it's happening to all of us at a certain level.
And some people, it's just higher than others.
Reginald D: Yes.
Michael Wood: It doesn't have to be this way. My goal, if I can figure a way out and then I could get this program going to where I want. I want to teach this in elementary school.
I want to go to private schools. I want to teach this to young kids. Because we should all know some of this stuff. It's so simple. It really is. Everybody should be doing this at a young age.
Reginald D: Exactly. So, Michael, I have what I call quick fire questions.
Michael Wood: All right, let's go.
Reginald D: There's not a right or wrong answer here now.
Michael Wood: All right. Okay, number one, what's one?
Reginald D: Breathing exercise anyone can do in under 60 seconds to calm anxiety box breathing.
Michael Wood: Inhale for four, hold your breath for four,
exhale for four,
hold your Breath for four, and just keep going on a rotation and it'll calm you down. It's what the Navy seals use. If they could do it. They're the baddest folks on the planet.
If they could do it, you could do it.
Reginald D: Absolutely.
Michael Wood: Absolutely.
Reginald D: So is anxiety weakness or misdirected strength?
Michael Wood: Anxiety is,
is a lie.
Anxiety is the program,
pre programmed lie. Basically, it's. It's our thoughts talking to us,
and they're alive. We are not our thoughts, we're the witness of our thoughts. But our thoughts are carrying us forward with all this fear.
And if we could just disconnect from our thoughts, the thoughts lose the power.
So I think our, our anxiety is, is just a lie. It's pre programmed voices haunting us. That's not real.
Reginald D: Got it. The biggest lie people believe about anxiety,
Michael Wood: biggest lie people believe about anxiety,
that,
that is hard to get rid of because it's not, it's not hard to get rid of it. If you use the tools, you get rid of it just like that.
I watch two of the first three people ever took my program were on anxiety meds and got rid of them within a week and a half. Stopped taking them. It's been over two years.
They ain't Taking anxiety meds yet.
Reginald D: Wow.
Michael Wood: If you just use these simple tools that people call cheesy, you know, right in gratitude, that flips you over. You don't need it. If you just use the manual tools to learn to shift yourself over.
Anxiety is very easy to get rid of. It's depression that's hard now. Depression, you got to turn and face your fears, and it takes courage and hard work and all those things.
But anxiety,
if you learn manual tools, very easy to get rid of.
Reginald D: And what's one habit that rewires the mind faster than people expect?
Michael Wood: So when I was in kindergarten,
I got told I wasn't well. I got made to feel that I wasn't smart as everybody else. I went back in an hour and a half session,
went back to that moment in my mind. I imagined it.
Went back to that moment. I forgave the teacher and all the other students for making me feel like I was less than intelligent and reframed it all with compassion, love, and forgiveness so my subconscious mind didn't have to hold on to that.
And then it was gone forever. I never was haunted from that memory ever again. And it takes an hour, hour and a half of one session. And that moment in time will never haunt me ever again.
Reginald D: Wow.
Michael Wood: You could do it fast. That right there is why I created my program. I've done that to myself over 200 times, and you'd be surprised. You can go back to one moment and it will never haunt you again.
And people don't understand that. But subconscious mind has no concept of time, so it haunts you still today and still happening today.
But the beautiful part is you could use your imagination and go back to that point today,
reframe it with love and compassion and forgiveness, and it'll let it go,
and it's gone. So the reason it's haunting you is also the secret to rewriting it, making it go away.

You know, everybody want to have a life, life moving forward, life of happiness and life, you know, abundant and all the things that comes with life. But when you dealing with anxiety and all the mental things that comes with it and you can't overcome it or you can't kick it,
it just drags you and it drives you. And then some people just give up on the dreams just because of things like that.
Michael Wood: Exactly. And it doesn't have to be that way.
It doesn't have to be. It makes me so sad every time I see somebody like that because I was sitting there and. And I'm happy just sitting in my chair for hours.
Now I can sit here and just stare at the wall and I'm happy because the thoughts in my head that were making me miserable, they're just.
Either I make them go away or they're not there at all. And it's absolutely powerful and it's beautiful. And everybody needs to understand that they're not broken. They just don't understand how their system is working.
And once you do,
light bulb goes on and life becomes amazing.
