Description

Please make sure to click the 'Follow' the show - It Really helps the show, Thanks!How do you balance big dreams with grounded impact? In this episode, polar explorer, army veteran, entrepreneur, and adventurer Justin Packshaw reminds us that change—both personal and planetary—begins with a bold step, a bit of discipline, and a deep belief in what’s possible.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HEREJustin’s pay-it-forward is refreshingly broad yet deeply personal. First, he puts the spotlight on climate action, not by pointing fingers, but by urging everyday ownership. “There are 8 billion of us,” he says. “That collective effort has power.” His challenge? Start small. Turn off lights. Reduce waste. Be intentional. Then, he shifts to youth empowerment—encouraging us to invest time and energy into the next generation, especially those facing hardship. He champions the value of youth groups, life skills training, and mentorship as pathways out of tough circumstances and into purposeful futures.His call to adventure is equally timeless: begin what you've been putting off. Learn the guitar. Take a flying lesson. Start a new project. He quotes Goethe:“Whatever you believe you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it.”Justin’s message isn’t about perfection—it’s about momentum. The magic comes after you start. Push yourself into discomfort. Whether it’s a morning run, a creative pursuit, or a long-delayed dream, the formula is simple: discipline + effort = transformation. It’s not about overnight success. It’s about the quiet reward that comes with action, over and over again.And remember, you don’t need permission. Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to dwell on your fears. So take the shot. Be bold.Resources & Guest Themes:Climate Action Tips:Search “What can I do about climate change at home” for practical, low-cost stepsFocus on habits: recycling, energy use, water conservation, and transportYouth Empowerment:Support local youth groups, school programs, and mentorship initiativesConsider charities like Walking With the Wounded, Help for Heroes, or local after-school programsJustin’s Personal Motto:“Discipline + Effort = I’m going to feel amazing” – a daily mindset learned through years of expeditions and army lifeSend us a textSupport the showThanks For Listening.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment and subscribe for more exciting content.
