I’m the process of writing my third book centred around mindset so I’ve jumped all over the place today. I’ve gone off on a million tangents but I know these episodes normally go down very well as I’m just thinking out loud for most of it. I hope you enjoy it.
My second book about sports nutrition and strength and conditioning for GAA players (titled: GAA: Leaner, Stronger, Faster) will out before Xmas.
Even though these are the three questions, I’ve jumped around with topics such as mental health vs. mental illness; journaling to ease self-induced anxiety and stories from my early bodybuilding days, my fear of running through the desert and my own crippling issues with self-sabotage over the years.

John Joseph is a former drug-dealing crack addict turned 9 times Ironman triathlon athlete. He is also the voice of the punk rock band ‘The Cro-Mags’.
John Joseph was raised in foster care and grew up on the streets of New York and has one of the most incredible stories I’ve ever heard.
The son of an alcoholic prize-fighter and an abused mother, John was removed from his family at the age of five, spent years in one of New York State’s worst foster homes – which was eventually shut down – and ended up at various violent boys homes and institutions.
Here are just some (and I really mean some) of the topics we covered today.
His new book ‘The PMA Effect’ is now available (link below)
No words can describe how good this episode is. John is one of the most remarkable people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with. I don’t say this very often but this is a MUST LISTEN for anybody with two ears.
