Eazy Photography

Camera Operator

When I’m not taking photos, you will find me playing golf, shooting hoops on the basketball court, and spending time at the beach. Cooking up a good meal is always a favorite pastime, and I never say no to a great hike with amazing views. Whether it’s sports, nature, or just having fun, I’m all about making the most of every moment!

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned in life is to enjoy every single moment and be grateful for what you have. Time moves fast, and focusing on negativity only takes away from the beauty of the present. Challenges will come, but I’ve learned to face them head-on and do my best to overcome them. And for the things that are beyond my control, I’ve found peace in putting my trust in God, knowing that everything happens for a reason. Life is too short to dwell on what could go wrong—so I choose to embrace the good, stay grateful, and keep moving forward!

Giovanna De Souza 

Social Media Manager

Hi! I’m Giovanna De Souza, a 19-year-old creative and driven social media manager for Beast Mentality Trainings. I’m the person behind the content you see; editing, creating, and uploading videos and posts that bring our teams energy to life. I am here to show off the strength, hustle, and heart of our players.

Although I’m just starting out in this role, I’m learning and growing every day. I approach each project with fresh eyes, and a mindset focused on improvement; both personally and professionally. Every day is a chance for me to learn something new, grow my skills, and pour even more love and creativity into what I do. My goal is to not only showcase the grind and heart behind Beast Mentality but also to build a digital community that inspires others to push past limits.

As I continue to grow in this field, I’m excited to explore new content strategies, deepen my editing skills, and stay on top of trends to help our brand reach and motivate even more people. Let’s build something beast together!
