About this listen

Dr. Garrett Soldano D.C. is a Chiropractor, small business owner, author, public speaker, family man, proud Catholic and former WMU football player.



Dr. Soldano owns and operates Soldano Family Chiropractic Center in Kalamazoo, and is the author of “God’s True Law, A Parent’s Guide to Raising Successful Children.”



He has raised two boys, Jackson and Alex, with his beautiful wife, Jennifer, in Kalamazoo.



As a young child, Garrett grew up in a trailer park and witnessed his parents pull their family out of poverty and reclaim the American Dream. His dad joined the Michigan National Guard and instilled a fierce love for country and sense of duty in Garrett that he has carried with him his entire life.



His family eventually moved to Lenawee County, where Garrett graduated from Onsted High School and later received his bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Western Michigan University. He played football for the WMU Broncos for 5 years, and signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Bears, but was cut before the season began. After his dream to become an NFL football player had faded, he returned to Onsted, where he got a job in construction, digging ditches.



While digging ditches Garrett did a tremendous amount of soul searching to figure out what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. After his mentor gave him the advice to “follow your heart”, he decided to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, and has since dedicated his life and career to inspiring others to be better versions of themselves by encouraging them to be physically, mentally, spiritually and financially strong.



He became a fire walking instructor and started a life changing seminar called, "State" where he has changed thousands of lives by having them overcome their FEARS with breakthrough events.



On April 9, 2020 he was one of the first people in the country to stand up against the unconstitutional lockdowns. He started a Facebook group, “Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine”, which grew to almost 400,000 in a little over 4 weeks. Facebook removed the group and he co-founded “Stand Up Michigan Inc.” and led a citizen's petition to take away the Governor's unilateral control over its citizens. After collecting over 539,000 signatures in 80 days, the effort was successful. No Governor in the state of Michigan will ever be able to rule unilaterally over it citizens again.



As the government continued with their shenanigans during the pandemic, he announced in April 2021 he was running for Governor in the state of Michigan.



After losing in the primary Garrett founded "Grassroots Army", where he continues to inspire ordinary people to do extraordinary things by being physically, mentally, spiritually and financially strong.

    Reigniting Michigan’s Greatness: Tom Leonard & Kevin Rinke on The Grassroots Army Podcast
    Oct 21 2025

    Michigan was once the heartbeat of America’s strength and innovation, the state that built the middle class and led the world in manufacturing, energy, and education. But somewhere along the way, we lost our edge.

    In this powerful episode of the Grassroots Army Podcast, Garrett Soldano sits down with Tom Leonard, candidate for Governor of Michigan, and Kevin Rinke, former Gubernatorial candidate, to discuss how we reignite that fire.

    We dive into:

    -Education reform and the Mississippi Miracle

    -Energy independence and lowering costs for families

    -Reviving small businesses and rebuilding Michigan’s economy

    -Restoring common sense leadership and accountability


    It’s time for action, not talk. Watch the full interview now and join the movement to make Michigan the powerhouse of the nation once again.

    Aric Nesbitt will be coming on the show at the end of November and we are still waiting on John James to come on and have a constructive conversation.

  • Trump Posted A Video Calling The Vaccine Preservative Thimerosal “POISON.”

    Trump Posted A Video Calling The Vaccine Preservative Thimerosal “POISON.”
    Sep 9 2025

    President Trump just dropped a red-pill nuclear bomb on Truth Social.

    He posted a video with an NIH Geneticist and Biochemist laying it all out: vaccines are filled with toxic chemicals like mercury.

    For years, the establishment mocked parents, silenced doctors, and destroyed careers of anyone who dared to question Big Pharma’s profits. But now, the truth is coming out—and it’s coming from the very top.

    This isn’t conspiracy anymore. This is reality. And America deserves to know.

    Do you agree with Trump exposing Big Pharma? Drop a in the comments and share this everywhere.
