Gary Greenfield is...

...my father...

...a leading expert in the field of water filtration...

...and a deep well of knowledge I've relied upon for the past 37 years of my life.

He's also, obviously, responsible for my very existence.

During this episode, you're going to discover more about the man who made me who I am, along with how structured water works, the best way to filter your water, why you should quit caring so much about what other people think about your health habits, and much, much more.

During our discussion, you'll discover: -Gary's early life and childhood [7:45]

Started in Miami
Father and uncle were successful entrepreneurs in the motivational speaking industry
His father invested time in his children
Athletic, but no interest in competitive sports
Brother was killed in gang fight at age 17 (turning point for him)
Began oceanography studies and excelled at it
3 years after brother's death, moved to Idaho for a fresh start (age 20)

-How Gary "found God" shortly before moving to Idaho [18:00]

Was intrigued by the phrase "God's country" on a brochure for Idaho
Went to spirituality conventions; left feeling empty at each booth
"We yearn for God because God created us"
Met a community of Christians his age once moving to Idaho

Became full-time fireman in Lewiston, ID (where Ben was born)
Ben shows similarities in physical genetics between him and his father

-The transition from full-time fireman to entrepreneur [26:35]

Three words: Efficiency, effectiveness, economy (didn't see this working for the local government)
Began ambulance service (non-emergency transport) and it grew fairly rapidly
Ran into resistance and opposition when he tried to expand into emergency services
Vast majority of funding came from medicaid and medicare (more bureaucracy)
After growing tired of dealing with government bureaucracy, Gary founded a coffee shop

He and his wife had discussed having a coffee shop as a hobby
Enlisted his children to help out with running the business

Was the first exposure to the nutrition/water filtration world (but still on standard American diet)

Water "stores" energy and releases it onto plants, animals, people, etc.
The body is a battery: If you want to be healthy, sunlight, minerals, water, grounding, exposure to proper frequencies of energy are the keys to health
Want to develop water that can store as much energy as possible
Three things energy in the water does: clean, feed, protect
Structured water affects chlorinated water positively
Water that goes through a filter is already dead
Harmonizer cartridge: Native EMF stick

- Begins with hydrogen
- Then God creates light
It all comes back to love, creation
Structured water is the most natural state in which we can find water
