About the guest:
Born in Canada, Justin found himself competing with older kids at the age of 13 years old. He became obsessed with performance. His dad used to say “talent will get you noticed, but consistency will get you paid”
The rest of his life became focused on the quest to optimize consistency.
He became his first study at 13 years old. Wearing HR monitors, brain wave sensors, HRV monitors, and read every medical journal, study or content piece on high performance that he could.

The obsession of high performance continued to drive his career earning a master degree in the performance space but continued to have him questioning ”why” to a lot of what was being apllied. He contined with post graduate doctoral work while implementing his studies at Louiville in the NCAA going to a final four and eventually winning a national title.
