Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60 – Erick sits down with Olympic silver medalist and Emmy Award winner John K. Coyle for one of the deepest conversations ever recorded on the show. This episode is a raw exploration of identity loss, ego death, trauma, fatherhood, grief, and how to slow time when life speeds out of control.

John opens up about:

• What it felt like to lose his Olympic dream — twice

• The dark decade that followed

• How he clawed his way back and rebuilt everything

• His journey into neuroscience, resilience, and the psychology of time

• The moment he realized helping others meant more than a gold medal

• Why physical touch, movement, and real friends are critical for men's mental health

• And the brutal truth: “You can't have agency while you're in overwhelm.”

Erick gets deeply personal in this one, too — sharing his own battles, grief journey, and why Raw Minds was built from loss.

This episode is for every man (and woman) who’s ever asked:
“Who am I without that identity?”
“Am I still worth something if I fail?”
“How the hell do I move forward when I’m stuck in the dark?”

You are not alone. Keep showing up.
