Men's Empowerment Coach

“Helping men heal, reclaim their worth, and become strong, purposeful men in their lives, relationships, and communities.”

My Story

My name is Wilberto Burgos, and I’m the founder of Shadow and Strength, a movement created to help men rebuild their lives from the inside out. I’ve spent a lifetime in pursuit of what it means to be a man of true strength and character—a journey filled with its own dark valleys and hard-won victories. My story is not one of perfection but one of resilience and transformation. I’ve faced depression, the struggle of providing for my family, and the isolation that comes from doubting my own worth and purpose.

Out of a place of desperation and searching, I crafted a system that helped me rise above these challenges—a system designed to strengthen not just the body, but the mind and spirit. Over the years, I’ve worked in sales and marketing, owned and operated a gym, and coached others in martial arts and powerlifting. But my greatest passion lies in guiding men who, like me, have felt the weight of their responsibilities and the quiet battles of manhood.

Today, I’m pursuing a master’s in psychology to deepen my understanding of the mental and emotional struggles men face. My goal is to empower you to confront these challenges with purpose, strength, and clarity.

Through the Shadow and Strength system, I guide men who are ready to rise above survival mode and find true fulfillment as leaders in their families, communities, and their own lives. I’ve walked this path, and I’m here to walk yours with you.
