When I hit up Johnny Olsen on Instagram one day back in 2019, I had no idea that it would turn into one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. Johnny welcomed me into his home, shared his world with me, and showed me what true hospitality is.
But what really drew me in was his fascinating story.
Johnny is a fitness coach and gym owner from Florida who faced his toughest opponent outside the gym: prostate cancer. He managed to beat the beast not just with traditional treatments or physical strength but with his most powerful weapon - his mind.
Not only did he win that fight, but he also used it to push himself further in the fitness world. Today, his gym isn’t just a place to work out - it’s where people go to strengthen their minds, too.
Because Johnny firmly believes that with the right mindset, you can get through anything.
In this week’s episode, he shares his story and shows that when it comes to beating the tough stuff, our brains are the strongest muscles we've got.
We talk about how he kicked cancer’s butt and how he’s helping others do the same, in and out of the gym. Johnny also shares the lessons he's learned about focus, adversity, and the true meaning of health.
