He suffered from severe depression, anxiety, and food addiction. Justin knew that he had to make the choice to change. 20 years later Justin is now 600lbs lighter, and is now free from addiction, anxiety and depression. Justin is a motivational speaker, author, podcaster, and a health and wellness coach. He's devoting his life to helping inspire others to gain their life back! 

 Resilience, passion and love are the perfect words to describe my journey. I have lost loved ones and have struggled immensely with my own mental health, but the support from people in my life has gotten me through it all. Today I am a business owner, soon to be wife, cat mom and a shoulder for others to lean on. Having graduated from Emerson College in 2013 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism I believed my path was set...well we can say it has gone a little differently than expected. A few moves and a new career path have led me to find my passion: making others truly feel good about themselves. I know I have more to offer than I ever expected. My life is just beginning.

 Join me as I turn the table on Meticulous Moments Podcast Host, Juanita Kaap.  Since I was a young child, I have always wanted to "Tame the pen and the sword" and have made it my mission to do just that. I was an ordained Pastor for 15 years and enjoyed working with congregations. I have always been a natural speaker and worked my way up in various Corporations whilst being in the ministry. In 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic I decided to change my life and follow my heart's passion. I became an entrepreneur of note through pure willpower and personal choice. I have since opened various businesses that are highly successful and have started to travel the world. My newest venture is Meticulous Safari's which I will be hosting here in South Africa to various of the American Leadership groups that I belong to (AMA, CLA & Underdog Millionaire Group). I am excited about the future and the developments that it will present. Personal and Professional development has always been at the top of my priority list. My trip to New Jersey, USA in January 2023 is a time worth remembering as I had the opportunity to meet all my online business colleagues and business partners. I plan to travel the globe in order to share my energy and positive outlook on life with those who cross my path. As an entrepreneur I am a risktaker and I will continue to be one. The sky is the limit in what we can achieve, if only we would take the courage to believe.
