In today's episode, Ryan speaks to Justin Morris, a former professional cyclist based in Michigan. With his dreams being threatened at the tender age of 10 by type 1 diabetes, Justin found his healing in cycling. In 2009 he signed his first professional contract with Australian MACE/Wilson racing and joined team Novo Nordisk the following year. 

With a wealth of stories and experience in dealing with challenges on and off his bike, Justin's organization, Mind Matters Athlete Coaching, offers a more holistic approach to athlete and personal development.  Justin is also a public speaker, and blogger, and runs the Mind Matter Athlete Coaching podcast whilst continuing to be one of Novo Nordisk Global's standout ambassadors.

Tune in to learn more about:

• The crush of Justin's childhood dream (to be a jet fighter pilot) after being diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes at age 10
• How the diagnosis rid him of competitive sports and changed his perception of life 
• How riding his bike to evade being teased led him to his professional career
• Slowing down his degree to focus on cycling and his perfect blend of the two
• How he used the storing accumulated in cycling in his storytelling and how he uses it in his mentor role
• How Justin turned rejection into motivation and start his cool business Mind Matters
