What happens when a man raised in chaos decides to rewrite his story? In this episode of The Growth Voyage Podcast, I sit down with Jason Gutsell — a man who turned years of escapism and substance use into a journey of discipline, belief, and inner peace. Jason grew up surrounded by chaos and was exposed to drugs by the age of 12, becoming a high-functioning stoner through his teens and twenties. His breaking point came during a mental and physical collapse in Ibiza — a moment that forced him to confront who he had become and what needed to change. This is a story about resilience, masculine growth, and the mindset required to rebuild your life from the ground up.

We dive into:

- How environment shapes identity — and how to rebuild it.

- The power of calisthenics, breathwork, and visualization in transformation.

- Finding stillness and clarity in New Zealand.

- What it means to redefine success through balance, family, and purpose.
