492: LA is Burning: My Personal Evacuation Experience of Fire, Ash, and Hope
Food Heals
Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me—I’m safe. For those who don’t know, I was just a few miles away from the Palisades fires in Los Angeles and had to evacuate twice with three dogs. Thankfully, we all made it out safely. My heart breaks for this city and those who’ve lost so much. When the fires began, I was at my co-working space. My friend texted me that the Pacific Palisades were on fire. I raced back to Santa Monica, where I was staying, to get my dog Lily and the two I was dog-sitting, Max and Annabelle, to safety. Smoke filled the air, and the fires raged...
info_outlineWhether it's wealth, the perfect car, the perfect house, or the perfect partner, all we are really seeking is happiness. We all have the ability to unlock happiness at will. Today's guest believes the way to do that is by growing in four pillars of our lives: relationships, business, spirituality, and wellness.
If there was a high school senior superlative for Least Likely to Succeed, that would have been Justin Schenck. At 18 years old, he found himself with a 1.7 GPA, while his mom was in the middle of a 20 year opioid battle and his dad was in jail. All signs pointed to no hope and Justin believed he was destined to fail.
At 19 years old, Justin got introduced to personal development by a mentor of his and became wildly obsessed with the idea that he had full control over the outcome of his life simply by choosing to grow. The realization that it didn't matter where he came from or what had happened to him in the past, but instead that he could shape his future with the choices that he makes in the present. This realization would set him on the path that would lead to The Growth Now Movement, which is a podcast, an annual in-person event, and of course: a movement.
Today Justin speaks across the country about overcoming adversity and creating the lives that we desire. His podcast plays in over 100 countries every single week and his forthcoming book will be released sometime next year.
