This is the Truth Network. Nakita, destroy, crush, demolish all competitions. Does he want it? Here it is! Yeah, Mr.

Koloff once again made his feelings very, very apparent. It's been a long time, but the wait is over. That's a bad man. No, that's a bad man. No, that's a bad man.

It's time to man up with Satan's nightmare, Nakia Koloff. When you think about hairdressers, I, for one, never realized that a professional football team Would need a professional hairdresser. But yet, I have just learned recently that the Green Bay Packers, of course, they'd have hairdressers, you know, being a loyal Minnesota Viking guy. But the Green Bay Packers have just that. And with me today, Robert Taggettz, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Welcome to the Man Up Show. Thank you, sir. Pleasure to be on here with you. The Green Bay fans, I have to say this, Robert. The Green Bay fans were the absolute best.

I mean, from the time we hit the park, like the tailgating, like, you know, we had all our Panther garb on, you know, our jerseys and hats, man, but they were great. They're like, hey, come on over here, have a Broughtwurst or whatever. Like, really? They're like, yeah, come on in. They invite us into their tents and everything.

And man, some of the nicest people, Robert, on the planet. Absolutely. Like we are. you know, total Midwest friendships, right? You can be from anywhere.

And we'll hold the door open for you. We'll buy you a bottle of beer. you know, a beer at the stadium and It doesn't matter how cold it is, people are having a good time and everyone's welcome. We absolutely love. Any fan of football in our community for sure.

Well, and. And so it it in addition to uh You know, their friendliness out out there, you know, and they were sin and I felt they were just so sincere and so genuine, like, for real. And and uh, so not only did they feed us, but uh, what was funny too for me about the game, so that fir that first quarter when when Rogers is just blowing it up, the the fans behind us are like, We're so sorry your team's not playing better. I just, I'm like, are you kidding me? I go, dude.

I'm at legendary Lambeau Field, man. Like, win, lose, or draw. I'm going to bed at night, put my head on a pillow and going to sleep whether the Panthers win or lose. I don't care, you know. But I mean, I'm cheering on, but at the same time, I'm in legendary Lambeau Field.

And then I got to throw this in, too. Jerry Because he was uh uh Jerry was a longtime friend of the personal trainer. And his name, you might know his name. It slips to me now. He was there like.

25 years or something before he retired. But he arranged A personal tour of behind the scenes. You talk about being behind the scenes of Lambeau Field and Gosh, Robert, I got to tell you what, and I probably did see the salon you're talking about. But I couldn't believe it. I mean, from the state of the art Training room, the weight room, to the dressing room, to the to their eating.

I mean, their built-in restaurant. I mean, it was unbelievable. Believable their training facility underneath Lambeau Field. That was amazing as well. It is absolutely, absolutely amazing.

For sure. And when they rebuilt the stadium, one of my clients She was actually the first. female licensed Electrician in the state of Wisconsin. She actually worked for the company that won the bid to do all the electrical work on that new stadium. And it's just State of the art, and they're also doing some new addition on it right now.

We drive by and we can see something, you know. Being built onto the stadium now, and we've got a whole entire Titletown district where people can come and they can bring their kids, and we've got ice skating and sledding. and um you know farmers markets and outdoor activities and a whole entire Just a community of people coming together in the Title Town District. And so, if any of your viewers are listening and they're interested in coming to Green Bay, man, we would love to have you and welcome you with open arms. There's so much to do here in Green Bay.

Well, and I've been to a couple fundraisers there at the stadium with a bunch of the football players. I met, you know, met some of the players at that time. You know, that's cool to meet some of the players, some of the coaches you're talking about as well. And yeah, so it's just been a bunch. And this is funny, too.

A little side note here.

So, you know, legendary Vince Lombardi, right? That the Super Bowl trophy is named after the Lombardi trophy.

So I remember pre-game that day, we went to a little, you know, a little restaurant to grab some breakfast. And I've actually incorporated this into my own life and instilled this in. Like all of our guys at Man Camp that attend Man Camp and other places that I've enlightened them to Lombardy time. And for those who don't know, Vince Lombardi's philosophy was: if you're five minutes, basically, don't quote me on this, but basically, if you're five minutes early, you're 10 minutes late. Right?

So Lombardi was big on being on time. Don't be late. But he actually preferred you to be early. Early, not just on time. And so I've incorporated that.

It is funny for the guys. I'm like, they're like, now what time are we supposed to be on the deck? I'm like, you know, 7:45. They're like, Now, is that Lombardi time, or is that the time we're supposed to be? I go, that's the time you're supposed to be on the deck.

So, like, a lot of them will show up at like 7:30, right? Because they're supposed to be on the deck at 7:45. But I say that to say, we're in the restaurant. I had to, I just chuckle, even still thinking about it. And there's a clock on the wall in the little restaurant.

And on that clock, it said Lombardy time. Lombardy time.

So all these years later, man, the legend still lives on, right? Absolutely. Oh my gosh. I love it. That's amazing.

Now, now, Robert, were you were you born and raised in Green Bay? Or w what's that what's that part of your story? I was I actually was born and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which is just an hour south of Green Bay. And I moved to Green Bay in 1999. I never thought I was going to move to a big city.

Like Green Bay is a big city, right? But I moved here for a business opportunity. Um to, you know, I Moved to Green Bay. I was a manager of a convenience store. I had gone to college.

To be a dentist. I wanted to be a dentist. Oh, wow. My mom. Yeah, my growing up, my mom was a wannabe barber.

And a CNA by trade, but she also was a Mary Kay lady. And so we had a lot of people coming into the house. They were leaving looking good, feeling good, smiling, and I always loved. the fact that she had such an impact on people's Physical being, which then meant that they walked out feeling better than they walked in feeling and. Um I love that.

Every time I do hair, and I'm a part-time hairdresser now after 24 years, but. Um You know, when my people come into the salon and they get their hair done, they're always smiling when they leave and always excited to come back. And so I felt like that was a better decision for me than being a dentist.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. And you mentioned, I plan on mentioning a 24-year professional hairdresser career and salon owner there in Green Bay. And so I got to ask you this, though. And we're going to get off the whole Packer thing here in a moment. We'll shift gears here.

But I got to ask. For those who don't know, a lot of people don't know. The Green Bay Packers. are fan owned, like owned by the fan. Like I think from day one, right, maybe you can help me out on that.

But so my question would be, so do you have stock in the Green Bay Packers, Robert? I do not have stock. You know, people think that's such a big deal. And, you know, when I grew up, I was more of a. Chicago Cubs and a Milwaukee Brewers fan because I always hung out with my grandparents in the summertime.

My grandfather would take me to all the old Miller Park in Milwaukee, and he'd have the whole entire, like, whatever, the schedule with the little pencil, and he'd be marking all the bases loaded and stripes. And he would do all that. And I just remember growing up. And that was Such a special time for me hanging out with my grandfather.

So I never had an opportunity to go to a a football game as a kid and we really we watch it on Sundays, obviously. You know, I was an avid deer hunter as a kid. And so, you know, we'd sit and warm up on Sundays during November and during deer hunting season. And And we listen to the Packer game, but I was never that interested. I always want to get back in my deer stand, but I'm definitely a.

A baseball fan more. But just networking my community got me involved with the Green Bay Packers, and I'm still forever grateful.

Well, and I've heard, you know, again, if I go back to Jerry for a moment, which I think he actually has, I believe, I could be wrong, but I believe he has a few shares of ownership in the Packers. But I mean, and my understanding is, man, like it's hard to crack into that world. Like, like people, like in their will, in their trust, they're like willing their shares to their children and grandchildren. And right, it's like generational that they own shares in the Green Bay Packers. Very unique setup, right, though, for real, on a serious note.

You know, where, you know, Dallas Cowboys are owned by Jerry Jones, right? Or whoever else, right? But the Green Bay Packers, fan-based, fan-owned, man. That's incredible stuff. Story, incredible story.

So, so people that don't know, I mean, my guess, you know, I'm a Midwest guy too, right? Originally, Minnesota. But I never get, Robert, I never got into it. I just couldn't get into the hunting and fishing and all that. But I guess, you know, Wisconsin Dells, Oshkosh, I mean, that's just a big deal.

All that's a big deal in Wisconsin as well, I would imagine, yeah. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Nikita Koloff here and I am excited. Did you hear the huge announcement, the big announcement?

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.

Yeah, absolutely. And you know it's it you know, all starts out with You know what your grandpa did and you know what your dad did and this. You know, you kind of carry on that. that legacy and You know, now I I live out in the country. I I can hunt in my backyard if I want to, but um I actually just love to watch the deer go by and let them go on their merry way.

And I'm like, I'm not starving, Nikita. I'm not starving. Right, right, right.

Well, and I had friends, like, of course, again, growing up in Minnesota, lots of friends that loved all that, right? Hunting, fishing. And my idea, outdoor sports, was my idea of outdoor sporting was sports, was football. And, you know, I did play baseball one year, but I was afraid of the curveball, but that ended that career. But that said, I used to tease him.

I'm like, why do you guys like to hunt so much? They go, for the sport of it. I go. It's not a sport. They go, yeah, it is.

I go, no, give the deer a rifle. Then it's a sport because, you know, give him the opportunity, the same opportunity you have, to sit in a deer stand that, poor thing, wander by you, and he's on to dear heaven, you know. And uh, but. But anyway, anyway, well, let me ask you this before we move on, because I want to jump into our partnership and what we're doing. But one more thing before we get there.

Is it true? I've always heard this about hairdressers. You know, you have a 24-year career. You're a salon owner. From the stories I've heard, Robert, I view you more as perhaps a psychologist than a hairdresser.

Meaning, I think that's the right word I'm looking for. But like you hear, I would imagine 24 years, people sitting in your chair, you've heard lots of stories over the years. Yeah, it's more like a therapist, Nikki. Therapist, there we go. There we go.

That's what I was looking for. Yeah, you guys are more like a therapist than a hairdresser, right? Three people. Three people you should never lie to: your doctor, your lawyer, and your hairdresser. Oh, that's good.

For sure. That's good. Come on. Because in as many stories as you heard, you could probably see right there, like, what's true and what's not, right? Absolutely.

And you know what? Like you guys too, if you guys are going to the barber or any females listening, they go to the salon, you know, they have a lot of trust in their barber and their hairdresser. And we hear after what you have when you create relationships with people and you see them every four to six weeks for Sometimes 17 years, you develop that close relationship. Wow. It's not like someone you're going out to dinner with, but it's even more intimate.

You know, you find out the true. the truth um the true things that people are going through whether it's good or bad the families the pregnancies the divorces like all the things and like like you said um i've known i know so much It's I'm grateful that I'm I'm able to know that stuff because um people You know, convived with me on specific things like that, and sure, and I keep my mouth shut.

Well, I was just gonna say, so do you give advice? But no, it sounds like that's that's the smarter side of it to uh to keep your mouth closed there, and so so. What what would be so you mentioned, you know, uh years so Any idea? Like, you've been doing it 24 years. Like, how long?

What's your longest client? Any idea? Yeah. So um there's a girl that actually came in last week Uh she's pretty high up in one of the medical uh Hospitals here. Most of my clients right now are medical doctors or business professionals.

But uh she came in, she's been with me since day one, so it's been You know, I've been a hairdresser for 25 years this September, so just for sure 24 years. Absolutely. Wow. Well, I know, especially with the ladies out there, I get it. You know, I've had, I raised four daughters.

So, I mean, I get it. They're like very particular with their hairdresser, right? And then if it's not exactly the way they want it, there's like they've come home unhappy. I'm like, well, why don't you say something, you know? Yeah, absolutely.

Open your mouth. Yeah, exactly.

So, all right.

Well, let's shift some gears here. You and I met, again, going back to Jerry Haynes, we met through Jerry. Jerry's been involved, he and I in the nutrition industry over the years, and in helping Jerry with his health as part of what I do. You know, I've been a former gym owner, of course, professional athlete. But I've always been big in health and wellness, keep my head open, my heart open, my eyes open, my head on a swivel, you know, for opportunities or products that I think would benefit me, you know, health-wise.

And so I'm looking at you, you have a story, man. You have a health and wellness. You are now, let me just say it this way: you are now a health and wellness advocate who's transformed your own life, losing over 50 pounds and dramatically improving your metabolic health. health and so you're now passionate about helping others when it comes to their health and designing a life that they can be proud of, right?

So t take a minute. Tell us about that, Robert.

Well, it all stemmed from uh during COVID when Our lovely governor at the time said that all hairdressers weren't priority people in the workplace. You weren't essential. You were not essential. Yeah, not an essential person. And crazy.

Okay.

Yeah, and being self-employed, I didn't know where my next paycheck was coming from. Wow. And so I fell into a deep depression and I gained, I was all the way to 228 pounds. I then had fatty liver disease. And um I went to my physician who actually is a client of mine and I said, hey, I'm looking at getting the weight loss shot.

Can you help me out with that? And she said, sure. And, you know, like at the time, I thought I only had about 40 pounds to lose. Clearly, it was more than that. And so I tried the weight loss shot.

uh was not for me. Um I developed an injury to my kidney. After six weeks, I did lose about 14 pounds. I gained another 32 pounds back on top of the 14 that I. had lost Um over the next few months.

After and that was in April of 2022, and I fell into another deep depression. And um I found this Specific product line that's plant-based, and I gave it a shot. And I knew. That Rob Tagets is somebody that's easily able to give up on himself. And so, what I did is, I became accountable.

On social media, on Facebook. I made a video. I told the world or whoever's following me on social media, I said, This is what I'm planning on doing, and I'm doing this. intentionally with And I want to tell you that I have been someone that hasn't been accountable to myself. And if I do it in front of other people, it's harder for me to give up on them who are watching me, rooting me on, right?

And I started that in December of 2023. I now have lost 62 pounds. I'm using not only a specific product line that I count as like Tools in my art, in my tool chest, right? But I also was able to learn how to eat better, feel better, and I realized I had a blood sugar issue. And when I realized how to eat differently and how to take the supplements to help fuel my body.

I reversed that fatty liver disease. I got my metabolic health in check, and that's triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. And when those all come back to homeostasis, which is balance. I started to release the weight. Uh I you know Decreased specific things like my A1C, right?

I dropped my A1C. I was no longer insulin resistant. And um While I shared my journey, Nikita, on social media, people joined me. People started to listen. People started to then be accountable for themselves on social media.

And so, I've helped about 5,400 people, 186. people of my own that I Personally, I have coached and helped. And I am not by all means a dietitian. I am not a personal trainer. I'm not, but what I do is I share my journey.

and my story, I give people the information so then they can make their own educated decision. And what's great about it is we do this as a community together. And that's what matters the most is when people are rooting for other people, they stay around the campfire longer.

Well, that's a really great summary, a great perspective, a great testimony of your weight loss journey. And, of course, you know, we more recently, you and I have partnered up along with a dynamic, I call it businesswoman extraordinaire, Jennifer Dowd. I'm grateful for Jerry to introduce us. You know, as you're fully aware of, Robert, I didn't jump on this right away. You know, I'm a guy who does what I call my due diligence.

And, of course, you were gracious to send me some product. And, you know, so I got the chance to sample that and do my homework. And, of course, I've been on the phone. We had one of the owners on a call of ours for an hour. You put me on the phone with the VP of sales for a half hour and had a great conversation with him.

And the fact that we can help people is what excited me as well. Not just certainly their health, which is a priority for me, but also on the financial side of things as well. And so it's been fun. And right now, we've built such a curiosity.

So, for the listener out there, they want, well, are you ever going to tell us the company? Yes, I am. The company's called Tranat.

Now, that's a French term, right? What's the mean? Do you know the meaning, Robert, behind that?

Now the meaning means about changing lives.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. So so Trenot is is the name of the company that uh that uh I have partnered with, uh Robert and Jennifer and and others. And our goal our goal, you know, just thinking about my my um What I want to accomplish is I call it the provision project, Robert. We got just a couple minutes left here, but I call it the provision project where you and I and Jennifer we're just looking for people, right, for those who maybe want to be a strong leader. Position themselves and come alongside and partner with the Russian Nightmare Nikita Kolov with Robert.

Let me say this about Robert. He is, man, he is like the product guru. Like, if you want to know something about one of the Trina products, he is your guy. I mean, he knows the inner workings of each and every one of these clinically studied and tested products. And I say that to say this too, Robert, as part of the provision project, our goal, let's see if this resonates with you, is to strengthen the body, help others strengthen the body.

Fund the mission. and build the legacy. Does that summarize it nicely? It's beautiful, beautifully put. You know, Nikita, I want to say this.

is when I found out what your mission is with man camp and what your all about I know that already our mission with Tranad is to impact a billion lives over the next 30 years for good. And your mission and our mission. Resonates together, and so that was part of the reason why I wanted to get this information in front of you because. I know how much these products have impacted people. We've had hundreds of thousands of customer testimonials, and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that if you saw what I've seen, And you could see the information, you would love this too because our mission statement is so close to what yours is.

Well, and I appreciate that.

Change the dynamics, the inner workings of his body, down 60 pounds now. And I've even seen before and after pictures. The proof is in the pudding. I've seen that.
