Fight for the forgotten

Fight for the forgotten

How do you know when it’s time to leave behind something that’s working—
something you’re good at?

Something you’ve even been featured on Joe Rogan for?

Something where 100,000 people scream your name, and you get to wear just shorts to work?

That was my podcast guest, Justin Wren’s dilemma.

On the surface, he appeared to be living the dream as a world-recognized MMA fighter. But behind the cages and the cheers, he felt like his life was closing in on him—and something had to change.
.

.
Then came the premonitions. Pygmies, jungles, exotic lands.

Something—or someone—was trying to send a message.

And 6'3" Justin—the farthest thing from a Pygmy—was the one receiving it.

But he was too high to do anything about it. Until he hit rock bottom.

In today’s Plot Twist episode, we’re revisiting the moment that inspired Justin Wren to take his leap of faith out of the familiar and into the unknown.

And the point of sharing these stories is to remind you that it is possible—
to change everything,
to pursue a dream that doesn’t make sense (yet),
and to realize that everything you’ve lived through so far has prepared you to make a difference in someone else’s life.

Your version of Justin’s story might be unfolding right now.

In this bite-sized 30-minute Plot Twist episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to recognize when your success is no longer aligned

  • What it means to act on inner clarity before outer circumstances catch up

  • How to stay grounded when your purpose feels too big to hold

  • Why the real path forward often begins with a single, quiet yes
