Resolute Minds was founded by Rory Sloan who is from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since the age of 14 Rory had struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues. After leaving school at 16 Rory found a passion in fitness and it really helped him have some control over his mental health, so he decided to become a PT to help other people, he also found a passion in body building and started prepping for his first bodybuilding show.
Four weeks out from the show COVID 19 became a global pandemic that paused the world. Rory struggled massively during this time, with his show being cancelled and losing his job, his mental health fell to an all time low. Rory soon developed an eating disorder and started drinking and taking drugs from where he found himself becoming reliant on cocaine. This then led Rory to becoming a full time addict and getting involved in criminality. Just after his 21st birthday Rory found himself in some serious trouble and going to prison.
