The Brian Keane Podcast

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.

• As a non-runner, how do you motivate yourself to put in the miles 08:03
• Did you spend large amounts of time reading about fitness, the body, mindset etc.? You're very knowledgeable and I wondered how you did it? 28:02

This was a fly on the wall conversation with one of my best friends on the planet. I hope you enjoy.

Some of the things we talked about.

• Asking yourself what are you doing mindlessly? (Hooking up, food, training, work)

• The difference between being slapped harshly by the truth or being kissed by a lie and the importance of not being a d*ck

• How to use negative people and their comments as fuel for the fire

• Asking yourself why certain comments bothered you (the concept of the purple polar bear)

• Thoughts of fat-shaming on social media
• Not making decisions in an emotional state and if you don't deal with a problem when its small enough to be solved, you deserve to deal with the f*ck up that comes from it.

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.

• Growing up in some of the worst foster homes in New York
• Robbing drug dealers and having a 'KOS' (kill on sight) bounty on his head
• Coming through a crack addiction by deciding not to be a victim any more
• Becoming a drug dealer for some of the world's top celebrities
• Joining Hare Krishna and becoming a monk for two years
• Turning vegan (one of his books is titled 'Meat Is For Pussies)
• Getting into Ironman and how to work through your demons by challenging yourself mentally and physically

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.
