From Dopamine to Discipline: John Borden on Mindset, Mushrooms & Reclaiming Your Life
In this no-BS episode of The Men of the House Podcast, we’re joined by John Borden—author of Your Mindset is Your Reality, transformation coach, and living proof that no matter how far off track you go, you can still build the life you were meant for.
John gets brutally honest about his former lifestyle: weekends fueled by drinking, drugs, porn, gambling, and endless distractions chasing cheap dopamine. But one life-altering experience with psilocybin mushrooms cracked open a new vision—and he never looked back.
Now two years sober, John has redefined discipline, rebuilt his mindset, and is pushing his physical and mental limits with ultramarathons, strongman competitions, and obstacle course races. Through his story and his coaching, he's helping others unlock the same transformation—one mindset shift at a time.
Tune in for a powerful conversation about:
- The dark side of dopamine addiction
- How psychedelics can create space for radical change
- Building a life rooted in purpose and performance
- Why your mindset really is your reality
- What it takes to go from numbing out to showing up
If you're ready to face your truth and take full ownership of your potential, this episode will light the fire.
