Before he was the man who ran 100 miles on mushrooms, John Borden had to become someone capable of doing it. This is his origin story.
Your Mindset Is Your Reality is the story—and the philosophy—behind a radical personal transformation.
Years before ultramarathons, extreme physical challenges, plant-medicine exploration, and helping others transform their lives, John found himself caught in patterns of addiction, self-destruction, and a life that looked increasingly different from the one he wanted to live.
Changing his life meant changing far more than his habits. He had to change the way he thought, the way he treated his body, the stories he told himself, and ultimately, his understanding of what he was capable of becoming.
Blending personal storytelling with practical lessons in mindset, fitness, health, sobriety, consciousness, psychedelics, and personal growth, Your Mindset Is Your Reality explores how our beliefs shape our behaviors—and how deliberately changing both can alter the trajectory of a life.
This isn't the story of someone who had everything figured out.
It's the story of what can happen when you decide that the person you've been doesn't have to be the person you remain.
Before the 100 miles. Before the mushrooms. Before the impossible challenges. There was a decision to change.
This is where it started.
