Scarcity Mindset to Abundance | Justin Schenck's Bold Choices

What does it take to go from a 1.7 GPA and a childhood marked by addiction and adversity to becoming a globally recognized entrepreneur and podcast host?

In this powerful episode of the Refine and Shine Podcast, Justin Schenck shares his journey from rock bottom to building a life of purpose, impact, and freedom. As the host of the Growth Now Movement and founder of Growth Now Summit Live, Justin opens up about resilience, investing in yourself, overcoming scarcity mindset, and the five types of people you need in your life to grow.

We also dive into using your podcast as a lead magnet, building consulting income streams, attending live events for exponential growth, and why reading Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson can shift how you handle change.
