JUSTIN'S ORIGINS
TO FIND HIS OWN STORY
Born and raised in Chicagoland, Justin was introduced to the power of storytelling in middle school, when he made his first film on his mother's camcorder. At 18, he was formally trained by Robert De Niro's Tribecca Flashpoint Academy in the art of storytelling & filmmaking. At 20, he launched his career at the renown advertising agency Leo Burnett. From there, he founded his own story-centered video production studio, which he led for a decade, before successfully selling the company. Justin has directed feature films, written screenplays, and creatively led endless commercials, documentaries, and client branded content.
HIS 1-YEAR RV TRIP
TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE
On a life-long search to find the story of humanity, Justin decided to sell his home and everything he owns, to become a nomad on an RV journey of a lifetime. Traveling 29 states in 12 months, Justin experiences indescribable beauty and once-in-a-lifetime adventures, all while interviewing hundreds of the nation's wisest nomads, gurus, spiritual leaders, scholars, strangers, philosophers, historians, and scientists, asking how we should view, live, and love this life.
HIS 40 DAYS ALONE
IN THE WOODS
After hundreds of extraordinary miles, experiences, and conversations, Justin disconnected from the world and entered into the woods, alone. A time of reflection, of peace, of seclusion. No technology. No people. No distractions. An opportunity to listen to his heart, mind, soul, and nature. His 40 days alone in the mountains of Colorado would forever alter his life, his mental health, and his insights into how we can be successful as individuals, organizations, societies, and a species.
HIS LIFE-LONG DEVOTION
TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
As a speaker, filmmaker, storyteller, and professional guinea pig, Justin continues to travel the world to seek out and share the truths of this life. His speeches elevate the hearts, minds, and stories of the individuals, events, companies, and teams he partners with. He continues to write his own extraordinary story, while teaching people how to rewrite their own stories so that they can live life to the fullest.
Traveling the world, camera in hand, Justin has been mentored by the planet's most knowledgeable minds, on the most sought-after advice. Collecting the endless wisdom of world leaders, Olympic athletes, A-list celebrities, spiritual leaders, multi-millionaires, the homeless, human specialists, movement makers, researchers, 100+ year olds, breakthrough scientists, and more.
