Faith, Fight, and Fuel: Why I’m Teaming Up with Jon Kunneman

By Brandon Tatum

Some partnerships just make sense.

When I first connected with Jon Kunneman, I saw more than a fighter—I saw a man of faith, discipline, and destiny. A man who wasn’t just punching his way through opponents but fighting for something greater. Jon’s record speaks for itself: undefeated, unrelenting, and on the cusp of breaking into the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series. But what impressed me more was his character. This brother embodies everything Shinergy stands for.

Let me back up for a second and tell you why this matters.

As many of you know, I spent years in law enforcement fighting a different kind of battle. Today, I run multiple businesses, mentor young men, and speak truth wherever I can—whether it's through my show, my brands, or my faith. Shinergy isn’t just another supplement company. It’s a lifestyle rooted in biblical strength, mental clarity, and clean energy to help you stay sharp in life.

And Jon?

Jon is a Type 1 diabetic.

That alone would sideline most people. But not Jon. Instead, he turned what others might see as a weakness into a weapon—fueling his drive, deepening his faith, and sharpening his discipline. Managing blood sugar levels while training like a savage is no easy feat, yet Jon makes it look effortless. It’s not just inspiring—it’s personal for me. My wife is also a Type 1 diabetic. Watching her navigate life with grit, grace, and zero excuses opened my eyes to just how strong you have to be to live that life. When I discovered Jon’s story, it hit home. That’s one of the biggest reasons I support him—not just as a fighter, but as a warrior in every sense of the word.

Jon’s arena is the cage. But the man trains and lives like a warrior outside of it. He’s not just preparing for a fight—he’s preparing for a calling. This partnership isn’t about slapping a logo on his shorts. It’s about building a movement around what it means to be strong in body, mind, and spirit.

Over the next few months leading into the Contender Series, we’re going all in—training content, behind-the-scenes access, mindset breakdowns, and yes, the raw grit it takes to get to the next level. You’ll see Jon repping Shinergy because it’s part of his lifestyle, not a paid plug. Our Day and Night formulas help him stay laser-focused during training and recover with peace at night. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just fuel that works.

This partnership is bigger than one fight. It’s about redefining what it looks like when a man of God steps into the ring—not just to win, but to witness.

Jon is fighting to put his family’s name on the map. I’m backing him because I see the same fire I had when I left the police force to speak truth to power. Together, we’re showing the world what happens when purpose meets preparation.

So here’s what I ask of you:

Support this man. Watch the journey. Share the mission. Pray over the path. Because when Jon Kunneman steps into that Octagon, he’s not just representing himself. He’s representing all of us who believe that faith still matters, that discipline still wins, and that God still raises up warriors for a time such as this.

Let’s go make history.
