Garrett shared in an interview how he came to his decision to partner with MUNICIPAL. "I had started to build a relationship with Mark Wahlberg, and he invited me over to his home. We discussed things we had in common, a work ethic and a drive to make the most of the opportunities we had, and how we can inspire others to do the same."
The NFL star was quick to appreciate Wahlberg's ideas. "Mark has been a great sounding board for ideas. One of the more important things that has stood out was to be authentic to yourself and how important it is to have a great team around you."
Wahlberg was equally as complimentary of Garrett. “You don’t need to spend more than a few seconds talking to Myles to know he’s built differently. In the gym, on the field, out in the community, he’s all out and won’t stop until he achieves what he’s setting out to achieve. He’s 100% a MUNICIPAL man.”
