Tried N True is a personal journey, developed long before the founder and owner, Allen “Watty Watt” Watkins was around. This spiritual term, motto, or credo is relevant to one’s journey and can be applied to many aspects of life.
Watty Watt learned these words that have always been near to his heart and soul early in life when speaking with a close high school friend about their journey. As a young adult, Aaron Carrado, who is now a minister, mentioned that they would be tested by fire (obstacles) and they would need to prove true (overcome through staying faithful and steadfast in their beliefs). This weighed heavily on Watty’s heart, and through the next decade, many trials and obstacles came his way.
From his athletic career as a wrestler in college and beyond to his MMA career and his career ending injury to his bodybuilding career and coaching, Watty was tested many times. When he failed, he would get back up, reevaluate and make his next move forward, striving to succeed. He has always fell back on his faith.
We at Tried N True continue on the vision and philosophies of Watty in our products. We comb through every detail to make sure we are delivering that brand promise to our ambassadors. Come and be a part of a movement that will continue to make this world more true.
The Journey
Tried N True is one’s personal journey through life that they set out on intentionally or unintentionally causing them to arrive at an end point by overcoming trials (obstacles either internally or externally) and to have proven to themselves or others to be true (over coming the trials or obstacles). The road could be the journey to be a world champ or just doing one more rep. The on-lookers may be millions or as few as just you, but never the less, it is your journey to accomplish the task you set forth.
