In this episode, Cognitive Fitness Coach Chris sits down with Andrew Mayne, a veteran, endurance athlete, and mindfulness advocate whose journey is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation.
After serving deployments in Iraq as a lead gun truck in convoy security, Drew struggled with PTSD, addiction, and finding purpose after returning home.
His turning point came after a near-overdose and a profound experience with plant medicine, which opened the door to mindfulness, meditation, and ultimately, ultra running.
Drew shares how he went from completing a 50K to conquering the 240-mile Moab 240 and how he now honors his late best friend by taking on seemingly impossible challenges — with his next test being the grueling Arizona 300.
He also opens up about his work developing a mindfulness program for athletes and executives, using breathwork, visualization, and contrast therapy to push beyond mental and physical limits.
Chris and Drew discuss the complexities of navigating recovery, the power of owning one’s story, and the importance of embracing discomfort to cultivate growth.
This episode offers inspiring insights and actionable tools for anyone looking to overcome adversity, build resilience, and pursue extraordinary goals.
