In episode #38 of the All-Star Mindset Podcast (formerly the All-Star Athlete Podcast), host Justin Hebert steps away from the interview format to share something personal: the rebrand of the show, and a story from his own life that shaped the mindset techniques he now teaches.
Justin opens by explaining the shift — the podcast is moving from an athlete-only focus to a broader audience of high performers, mirroring the evolution of his coaching business, All-Star Mindset. From there, he gets vulnerable about a part of his past he doesn't often talk about: his years as a highly competitive World of Warcraft player. Justin breaks down what it actually took to become one of the top players in the world — including reaching Rank 1 Gladiator (a top 0.001% achievement) and finishing top 5 globally in achievement points — while playing up to 14 hours a day between the ages of 16 and 22.
But the real value of the story isn't nostalgia. Justin unpacks the two mental performance tools he was unknowingly building during those years: growth mindset and deliberate practice, and how those same tools translate directly to sales, entrepreneurship, sports, and any pursuit where mastery takes time. He also gets honest about the opportunity cost of those years, and why he's sharing it anyway.
