I started waking up with panic attacks, body shaking, mind going crazy.

But I had no idea what was wrong with me because I thought I was doing everything right.

I was beginning to not be able to sleep at all.

I started struggling with suicidal thoughts.

I was either having to drink or take sleeping pills just to fall asleep at night.

So it was a dark, dark space.

And how old were you at this point? I'm 30. I've got two kids.

I had in my head at the time this idea that if your head is in the right place, like if you're

driving towards a thing you're called to, then everything else will fall into place. But what the

Lord showed me in that time was that the habits of your life

matter. They matter a lot. Like how you do something is as important, if not more, than what you're doing.

Ladies and gentlemen, today on the podcast, we have my man, Justin Early.

What's up?

Thank you so much for having me, Nick.

This has been already an extraordinary morning.

Dude, this has been a great day so far.

I was telling you earlier, my ideal day is when it comes to the podcast, train with someone, have a great conversation,

podcast, discussion, sauna, plunge, eat a bunch of food. Like we've trained, we've fueled.

We're now sitting down to talk, and then we're going to sauna. We got a lot to look forward to

to the sauna and cold punch. Yeah. I was telling you my um you know I got a great group of friends at home who uh more or less don't care that I write and that's what's so great about them. But when they heard that I was coming to talk to you, they're like, are you working out with Nick? And they were so pumped also like you're going to die.

There was a lot of pressure put on me, but we did a pump session.

The shoulders and arms.
