John is an open book and has told his story many times, and I'm very grateful he took some time to do the same with me. In this episode John talks about mental and physical challenges he has overcome in life, from losing weight at 315 pounds to at one point attempting suicide.

We also talk shop about John's lifting and MMA coaching career, health tips for people and his outlook on life that I think many will benefit from hearing. Follow John on Instagram @johnnydurrett on Instagram and check out powerathletehq.com which we mention several times in the episode.
