What if doing something hard is the only way to truly find you?
In this episode, Justin King redefines what it means to “do hard things.”
After running ten marathons in ten days, he’s not preaching pain for pain’s sake—but instead unpacking the mindset that transforms struggle into self-awareness.
This isn't about proving you're the toughest in the room. It’s about making smart decisions in the face of adversity and walking away with something even more powerful than resilience: clarity.
