Why This Year Starts With Fun (Not Hustle)

What if fun isn’t something you earn after working hard—but something you start with?

In the first episode of the new year, Justin flips the script on productivity, discipline, and “being good” and asks this:

👉 What actually lights you up? Do you ever let yourself enjoy it?

Using movies as both a literal love and a powerful metaphor for life, Justin shares:

-The best and worst movies he saw in theaters last year
-What those experiences reveal about freedom, creativity, nostalgia, and choice
-How following your delights can transform your life
