What's up everyone? This is Mike Kaju and you're listening to the brute strength podcast.

This week's guest is unlike any I've had so far.

His name is Justin Stentrum. He's a 26-year-old entrepreneur.

He's dealt with six depression, anxiety, panic

talk about this subject.

And what I love is that, you know, he has a lot of, you know, kind of general

super valuable. We also talk about building confidence, how he does that with his

clients, as well as how to perform in high stakes environments.

I know you're going to love this show before we get started, if you would, if you've been

subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and leave me a quick review.

Hope you enjoy the show.
