From Addiction to Discipline - Justin Sloan | Ep135

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Justin Sloan from the Justin Our Mindspodcast for a raw and honest conversation about addiction, identity, and rebuilding your life from the ground up.

Justin opens up about his rough upbringing and the battles with addiction that nearly took everything from him. He shares what it looked like to hit those low points—and more importantly, what it took to climb out of them. Through Brazilian jiu jitsu, fitness, and a commitment to discipline, Justin found structure, purpose, and a way to take control of his life again.

The conversation dives into accountability, mindset, and the truth that even if you’re dealt a hard hand early on, you still have a choice in what you do next. Justin talks about learning to love yourself, building a life you’re proud of, and why positivity isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about choosing how you respond to it.

This episode is about ownership, discipline, and proving to yourself that no matter where you start, you can still build something meaningful.
