Ryan Hurst from GMB Fitness returns to the Strong For Life podcast to share the story behind his new book, On The Mat Forever.

In this episode, he breaks down the posture-breath-mindset framework he developed to navigate adversity, culture shock, and family stress after returning to the US with his family after 28 years living in Japan.

We dive into:

• The real reason Ryan wrote the book

• How martial arts shaped his approach to clarity and resilience

• Why walking, meditation, and movement beat optimization and biohacks

• How his son’s wrestling journey transformed his posture and confidence

• The power of “Misogi” annual physical challenges that rewire your mindset

• What burdens you're willing to carry and what that reveals about your life
