  • The Time Master’s Truth: From Olympic Glory to Rock Bottom John K. Coyle | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60

    The Time Master’s Truth: From Olympic Glory to Rock Bottom John K. Coyle | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60
    Oct 31 2025

    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.

    Oct 3 2025

    This episode of Raw Minds might be the realest one yet.

    Rob Kancler, founder of Bedroom Genius and creator of The Compass assessment, joins Erick for a raw and unfiltered talk about the things most men never speak on sex, shame, emotional honesty, intimacy, porn, relationships, and masculinity.

    Rob has spent over 20 years helping thousands of men transform their inner world by understanding one truth: if you master this part of your life, everything else levels up. And not just sex confidence, connection, communication, emotional intelligence, and healing old wounds.

    This conversation pulls no punches. It’s deep. It’s honest. It’s for every man out there who’s tired of feeling stuck, isolated, or ashamed. And it might be the push you need to finally reclaim your power as a man, a partner, and a human
