Forged Under Pressure: Building An Antifragile Life

Most people think strength is about pushing harder — lifting more, grinding longer, or staying tough when life gets heavy. But true strength isn’t just about surviving pressure... it’s about using that pressure to become something greater.

In this episode, Justin Burns breaks down how to train your mind like an antifragile system — one that grows stronger with every hit. Drawing from his own experiences in the ICU, the weight room, and the coaching field, Justin explores how chaos, setbacks, and even pain can be transformed into fuel for lasting growth.

You’ll learn how to condition your thoughts the same way you condition your body: with intention, repetition, and a willingness to embrace the stress that others avoid.

Key themes:

• Why most people get “stuck” in resilience instead of growth

• The connection between physical and psychological antifragility

• How to build a mind that adapts and thrives under stress

• Practical strategies to apply pressure without breaking
