What If Doing Your Best Is Enough To Change The World | Episode 396

What if the most powerful mental health tool you have is the choice to do your best today? Justin invites you into a raw, relatable journey that stretches from holiday shopping chaos and delayed deliveries to the deeper work of grief, faith, and finding purpose when certainty never arrives. The mission is bold—reach at least three billion people with free, accessible support—and it grows through small acts that anyone can do: listen, share, and pass hope forward.

We open with the real feel of the season: crowded aisles, shifting timelines, and the nagging weight of incomplete lists. Justin turns those moments into a playbook for emotional resilience—accept what you can’t control, plan what you can, and treat each finished task as a small win for your mind. He brings in the realities of ADHD and depression, showing how hyperfocus can complicate simple choices and how gentler expectations can lower the mental load. The message is clear: progress counts, even when it’s quiet.

Family memories deepen the conversation. Justin honors his late father’s love of sports and the quiet bond of watching games together, highlighting how values pass through presence more than speeches. A fresh night of cheering on a nephew ties grief to gratitude, and faith gives the pain a frame without pretending to fix it. From there, the mission scales: podcasts across all major platforms, TV versions on YouTube and Rumble, and a nonprofit structure aimed at keeping access free. He spotlights Voices for Voices Publishing, including new titles and a nine-year-old author whose courage mirrors the show’s spirit.

Across it all, the throughline is action. Turn down the noise that drains you. Turn up the work that lights you. Share the show with friends who need a steady voice.
