Mick Hunt:Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome the incredible mister Justin McClure. Justin, how are you doing, brother?
Justin McClure:Thank you, mate. You know, I'll talk about it, but I talk about me in a way now that is not arrogant, but I love myself. Like, there were years before I got sober. I didn't I didn't like who I was. I was very ashamed of myself, and I think shame also is a big motivating factor to change.
Justin McClure:But now when I talk about myself, people will say, like, sometimes, like, you really love yourself. I'm like, yeah. I do. I really do. And that's not an arrogant thing.
Justin McClure:It's a great place in life to say, I really love who I am. I don't have to look over my shoulder. I don't have to guard my phone from my wife. I know I'm there for my kids. I have no guilt.
Justin McClure:So I think it's a remarkable thing to really love who you are.
Mick Hunt:And for me, that's the first step of anything that you ever wanna accomplish in life. I don't care who you are. If you don't, number 1, love yourself, you can't believe in yourself. And and here's the beauty of this, Justin, because I'm a huge fan of yours, and I told you this personally. I'm just a huge fan of you.
Mick Hunt:Right? Forget all the accolades and the success. Huge fan of who you are because you genuinely come across as that person of love. And and like I was saying, like, you can't go anywhere and do anything without having that self love first.
Justin McClure:Yeah, man. And that's part of my story is that before I got sober, you know, I was drinking all the time, drugs, womanizing, and I knew I had a lot of potential. And it was just basically, I knew that I was holding myself back. And I'm really into, like, a lot of eastern philosophy, you know, Taoism. And I I mean, I'm into a lot of things.
Justin McClure:Like, just I I I like healthy mindset. So, anyhow, my point is that I remember before I got sober, I said because this is one of this is, like, my why or my because is that if I live to be 88 or 92 or whatever it is, I have many years ahead of me. I want to be happy. I have a right to live this life and be happy, but also I knew that I need to make better choices. And the choices that I'm making in my life are not in alignment with being happy.
Justin McClure:And so that was my first motivating thing to stop drinking. And then along the way, I think one of my gifts is, and I think that you kind of alluded to this, is that I like to humanize myself and be in the trenches with people or, like, let them know what my trench was like because people need that to get out of where they've been. I don't like to hang out with people who talk about their success and cars or whatever it is. I wanna know what your darkest days were like. And if your darkest day is right now, then let's dig in and let's go because I've been there.
Justin McClure:Because the thing about our family, Mick, is people look at us, and they're like, man, you know, they do really well. I bet they got multiple cars and a nice house and blah blah blah. And we do because we've earned it. But let me tell you something. I have not changed as a person from the guy who was living a very deleterious and, you know, quote, unquote bad lifestyle.
Justin McClure:I took my energy from here, and I put it here. I didn't get smarter, and I think that inspires people a lot because they think when they see successful people, they're like, oh, I wish I was that smart. I wish I had those skills. And the same person that had no money, that was broke, that was pretty much suicidal, that hated who he was, I said, maybe you should stop drinking. And I shifted over here and better things happened.
Justin McClure:And that's really my story too. My story is that one day, I looked in the mirror, and I realized the problem was me. I remember I was going out in New York City, and I was, like, womanizing everybody in New York City. I was trying to date every woman in New York City because I wasn't happy. I was miserable.
Justin McClure:But there was one time I said, you know what? I would be happy if I could date that woman. I've been chasing her, and I know that's why I'm not happy. If I could if he she would just give me the time, I would be happy. This woman gave me the time.
Justin McClure:We went out on a date. I went home from that date, and I was miserable. And she liked me.
Mick Hunt:Wow.
Justin McClure:I said to myself, Justin, why again are you miserable when you got the thing that you wanted, apparently? And it's because I wasn't happy. I went home that night, and I turned on a Netflix movie. It's called Chris Herron 30 for 30. It's about how Chris Herron wasted his NBA career through drugs and alcohol and womanizing, kind of the same thing I was doing.
Justin McClure:In this guy, I saw myself, but the turning point was in the movie, he got sober, and he became a hero in his community, and he inspired people. Yep. And he went back to a place, to a 711, and he said, right here is where I passed out while my wife and my kid were waiting for me at the airport. A week before that, I was drunk, and I missed the airplane for something really important. So I looked at the TV, and I said, that's pathetic.
Justin McClure:And then I said, oh, wait. That's you, Justin. So the culmination that night of me thinking if I could get this girl, would I be happy? I got that girl and I was miserable. And then I got home, and I saw myself in this guy.
Justin McClure:In one moment, when I said when I looked at the TV and I said, that's pathetic, then I said, oh, wait. That's you. I had so much shame go through my body because I realized at that point, Nick, the thing is for the longest time in my life, I thought I was just a crazy guy. I'm like, no, Justin. You you get a pass because you're that crazy guy.
Justin McClure:You're you're the guy that people tell stories about. And then I realized in that moment, I said, you know what? Justin, you got 3 driving under the influences. You've been arrested 6 times. You're going to rehab twice.
Justin McClure:Like, you are the problem. There's no path anymore. You're an adult. I started simple, and I said the next day, just don't drink. I don't care if I yell at people or punch a horse in the face.
Justin McClure:I might just don't drink. Right. I think that's very important to say is because a lot of people, they wanna change their life and, like, they wanna lose weight to the I'm I'm gonna get up at 5 AM. I'm gonna intermittent fast, and I'm gonna do all these different things. It's like, just do one thing first.
Justin McClure:Right? So for me, I think that was the real key. It's, like, doing one thing. And ever since then, it's trying to be, like, 1% better, and I think that's what's brought me to a point where I'm happy and I love myself, and I've earned a better life. It has been a lot of work, but it's a much more enjoyable life.
Justin McClure:It's much more simpler. And like I tell people sometimes, I'm like, people don't wanna get sober or change their bad habit because they're they're like, life is boring. It should be. You you should be in the middle lane. If you're always here or here, like, that's where I was.
Justin McClure:It was like highs and lows, but now, like, I'm in the middle lane, I just really, really embrace it.
Mick Hunt:No. I love that, man. I tell people all the time, success is actually in the mundane. Like, it really is. Like, success is in doing that same thing over and over again and just getting to your point, 1% better at whatever that thing is that you're trying to do.
Mick Hunt:You know, Justin, I love that you proudly have maintained your sobriety for over 10 years. But I know that comes with challenges. Right? Because it's a daily grind. Right?
Mick Hunt:And I tell people this, the more successful you become or the more steps you get towards success, the bigger the challenge is gonna be in front of you at some point. Can you talk about a couple of the challenges that you face? You know, you were talking about initially starting out. What were some of those challenges?
Justin McClure:Maybe sobriety was a challenge because you're trying to become a different person, and it's hard to do that. And I tell people one of my biggest challenges was I didn't know once sobriety became normal to me, would I be bored and would I would I want a more exciting life. So one of the things I did is to remove that is I was living in New York City, and every day at 5 o'clock when I got off work, like, I had a job. But instead of taking the subway home, I walked 5 miles. I worked on Wall Street, and I lived in Washington Heights.
Justin McClure:So it's all of Manhattan. So Wall Street is down here, and Washington Heights is is the top end of Manhattan. It's, like, 5 miles to get there. So I said, you know what? Justin, until you're strong enough in your mind, psychologically, you're going to walk every day in the snow, in the rain, in the cold weather.
Justin McClure:Because I didn't know if I took the subway home, would I get home at 7:30 and be bored and say, you know what? I'm feeling frisky. I need to go out and get a drink and try to get laid. Right? So I removed that for about 9 months.
Justin McClure:I walked every day to home after work. And so that was one of the biggest challenges for me. And then the next big challenge was after that. You know, sobriety is interesting when you do it the right way because at some point, you almost grieve yourself. And you say, why have I done this to myself?
Justin McClure:Why have I chosen to abuse myself this way? Why did I make these decisions? And so I went to therapy. And I went to therapy every Wednesday, and I learned through therapy that because of a, you know, traumatic childhood and neglect, you know, my mother had me at 16. My my dad died when I was 4.
Justin McClure:So my mother was, like, 20. She was a widow. So we were very poor. There was a lot of neglect. My mom made bad decisions with men.
Justin McClure:So I learned through therapy, I needed to forgive myself for not thinking that I was enough, enough to be loved, enough to be important to spend time with. Because knowing my mother at her age, if she would've known better, she would've done better. And then when I put myself in her shoes, if I was a 20 year old parent, I would've been horrible. I would've been really bad. So those two hurdles there were the biggest ones in early sobriety.
Justin McClure:And then the next big one, and this is the the probably the best one about my family, is that when I was in my addiction, I was a complete womanizer. And it wasn't because I I wanted to get laid or whatever. It's because I I was so insecure that I needed validation. I needed women to say, you're good looking. You're funny.
Justin McClure:You're worth being around. I like you're around. But when that woman would like me, I would go to somebody else. When I got sober, I said, you know what? No dating.
Justin McClure:No dating because you need to be sober from alcohol, drugs, women, everything. So no dating. A year and a half after being sober, I said, you know what? I think I'm ready. I'd, like, share my new life with maybe somebody.
Justin McClure:I think I'm secure enough to be sober with people. And so I was getting out of the subway in Washington Heights. And when I got out, I looked across the street, and there was this woman, and there were 2 guys behind her. And they were like, hey, baby. Hey, baby.
Justin McClure:You know, Washington Heights. Like, hey, baby. Hey, baby. I was chasing her down the street. I walked across the street.
Justin McClure:I walked right up to this woman, and I said, hey. Listen. These guys behind you, they're chasing you. They're not gonna leave you alone. Why don't you just pretend like you know me?
Justin McClure:I'll walk with you. They'll they'll leave you alone and, you know, just just walk with me. We walked around the corner, and that woman, you know, became my wife.
Mick Hunt:That's amazing, brother.
Justin McClure:So the powerful thing there is that I abstained from dating, and I met the person who became my wife without even trying because I think make the people come into your life at the right time when you've earned it. You know? It's not my timeline. I just need to keep doing the right thing, and I'll meet the right person. I'll meet the, you know, the right relationships, the right business partner.
Justin McClure:Like, we'll all do that if we just stay patient and stay the course. So that's why I think I think those were a few of my challenges early on.
Mick Hunt:I love it, man. And you've turned that into a lot of things. Right? Like but more importantly, I think you became the person that you were destined to be. Right?
Mick Hunt:I think a lot of times we, as individuals, hold ourselves back. Like, 90% of the problem that most of us have is here with us, and and you became the person that you were destined to be, and you're an amazing motivational speaker. I probably watch 100 of your videos in a week. A lot of times, the same ones because you always have a great message. And so as a motivational speaker, you know, and the things that you do from TED talk presenting as well, what are some of the most important messages that you hope to convey with the audiences as you're speaking?
Justin McClure:I keep thinking of 2 that are very important and and also, Meg, I I appreciate what you're saying. I also don't speak for many cliches. I really, really speak from my heart, meaning that what I'm telling people right now is really what happened what I apply in my life today and back then and always. 1 is people, places, things. People, places, things.
Justin McClure:When I got sober, I changed the people I was around. When I got sober, I took my phone. I deleted every contact. I formatted it. And I said the people that need to contact me will I don't need to have any temptations.
Justin McClure:I need I need a new set of people. If my sister wants to get in touch with me or my my who my mom, whoever, they're gonna reach out to me and I'll save their number, but I'm gonna get rid of all the people. Places. I moved from where I was to another place in Washington Heights. Things.
Justin McClure:I changed the things I was doing. I stopped drinking. I stopped going to the place I was going to before. I I started working out. I started doing other things.
Justin McClure:People, places, things. You cannot change your life without changing those things. And if you do change those things, you can change your life. So people place these things. The other one is something that I've made up myself, and it's called and then what.
Justin McClure:I think I made it up. So it's called and then what? You know, I was doing a podcast with my wife, and I was being very open to her. I was like, you know, early on when we got together, I said, I didn't know if I would cheat on you because that's all I knew was I was I was you know, I cheated on women before a long time ago. And I was just like, the re I told her the reason I don't well, when I love her, I'm in love with my wife.
Justin McClure:But another reason is and then what? Because I'm able to now play the tape forward. If I wanna do something devious, I do it in my head, and then I ask the question, and then what? And then I feel miserable, and I don't wanna do the act. So let let's let's let's do a scenario here.
Justin McClure:Let's say that a lot of people can't resist temptation and and they're they don't have discipline, so they go do a bad thing. So I'm just gonna make this up. This is not true, but I'm gonna make this up. What what if I was somewhere because right now I'm in New York. I'm away from my family.
Justin McClure:I'm I'm at Dave and John's house, actually. So I I'm away from my family. What if I went out and I saw a woman, and I'm like, man, she's beautiful. Nobody knows that I'm here. It's like, you know, whatever.
Justin McClure:So what I do in my mind is I say, okay, Justin. Let's say you go talk to her. And let's say that she's interested in you, and let's say she wants you to go home with her, and let's say that you end up having sex, and then what?
Mick Hunt:And then what?
Justin McClure:And then what? And then I'm laying there miserable, feeling guilty and shame, and I run out.
Mick Hunt:Scared.
Justin McClure:Means everything.
Mick Hunt:Right.
Justin McClure:Everything. So the and then what is really a powerful thing for in my mind if I think about, you know, eating bad. It could be as simple as anything. I always ask myself, okay. So let's say that thing happens and then what?
Justin McClure:That is so powerful to me. It allows you to almost, like, live it in your mind Mhmm. And then you just say, okay. No. I don't wanna do that.
Justin McClure:Those are really two really powerful things that day to day, like, I really believe in. I would say the other one is just really being patient, meaning that a lot of people want things right now. When I got patient and when I got sober, I said, just don't drink. When it got bad, I would just get angry and sad, and I would sit there and be angry and sad because I knew that's how life is sometimes. You can't escape it through drugs and alcohol and other things.
Justin McClure:You just got to be sad. You gotta be patient. When we started our business, you know, I mentioned a minute ago, Daymond John. I'm Shark Tank. He's my business partner.
Justin McClure:People say, Justin, are you surprised Daymond John is in your life? And I'm like, no. I'm not. Because if you stay the course and you stay positive and you keep doing what you should be doing in life, do not be surprised at the amazing people who will come into your life and help you because you earned it. So the patience is another thing.
Justin McClure:And, like, I I had a meeting today. And at the end of the meeting earlier today, and they were just like, Justin, you didn't speak about this meeting, like, anything that you wanted, but and whatever. I'm like, I don't want anything. I've already won. I got a beautiful family.
Justin McClure:It's like, I've got some money in the bank. It's like, I don't need anything. So when you are that way, it allows you to be fully present with people, and it it allows you to go back once again to how we started the conversation to really love yourself because you already have what you need. And I think if you can admit that, that's true gratitude.
Mick Hunt:Wholeheartedly, man. And you're exactly right. And and I said it earlier, you know, like, you're exactly where you are supposed to be, but you also earn it. Right? Like, success, I tell people this, it doesn't fall in your lap.
Mick Hunt:And anyone that tells you if you do these five things, you'll be successful, turn and run because you have to put in the work. You have to be diligent to do that.
Justin McClure:Nick, years ago, I got DUIs, and I went to jail. I earned that too. So it's like people say, like, a pedestal like this guy's got that thing. I earned it. But the same guy, I didn't get smarter in a previous life.
Justin McClure:I put my energy in bad places, and I, you know, I I married my high school sweetheart. She divorced me. I earned, you know, getting fired from jobs. I I earned DUIs and going to jail. I earned those things in a previous life because my energy was not in the right place.
Mick Hunt:I love it, man. Like, Justin, I could talk to you for, like, 5 hours, but I know we can't do that. I don't want people to hate me by changing my format, but I would totally change it for Justin.
Justin McClure:Is your place your format half an hour?
Mick Hunt:It's it's half an hour, but but it's us, bro. Like, I don't I don't care. It's my show. Right? I can do what I want.
Justin McClure:Of course. You can do what you want.
Mick Hunt:I'm here with Justin McClure. Right? This doesn't happen every day. You know, again, the success that you've had, the the brands that you're working with, the business partners that you have are freaking phenomenal. And, obviously, I know a little bit of the story, but I would love for you to talk about that viral moment and what that's done for you.
Justin McClure:Oh, yeah. That's a great little story too. So I'm sober. You know, my wife and I, we we got twins. And I just as a new dad, I just was like, you know, let's start documenting our lives, like, you know, going to the park, petting geese.
Justin McClure:These silly things that families do. Because I thought YouTube at the time was kinda like your new gear book. You know? Like, that was the way you kinda made memories. I didn't really know what I was doing, and and I didn't know that there was you could even make money at it.
Justin McClure:So we were doing this, and it I don't even know if we have the videos up there anymore, but they're just, like, I mean, kicking the soccer ball outside, doing dumb stuff. There was no narrative. Right? Anyhow, I knew there'd be a moment when our twins realized they were identical twins. And that moment is the moment that went viral because one twin, Alexis, got upset because Ava was older.
Justin McClure:And so Alexis is like, you know, I wanna be older. I wanna be older. Right? And then a minute later, the one who's older realized she's a little bit shorter than Alexis, and now she wants to be taller. And so they're both crying.
Justin McClure:And, you know, my wife is just like, oh, you know, you guys are both you know? So she just kinda warmed it up. But that video came out, like, on a Friday, and we were on Good Morning America the next week and Today Show. Right? So we got, like, a 100,000 subscribers, like, overnight.
Justin McClure:It put us in a weird situation. Most people get into, like, YouTube or social. They're like, we're gonna try to be a big family. I'm like, I don't even know what to do with this. I don't know how to edit videos well.
Justin McClure:I don't know how to, like is this what we wanted? What does this mean? And so I think the good story here is, Mick, is that I had all this energy because I wasn't wasting my time. I wasn't going to places I shouldn't go to or whatever. I was sober, and I was focused.
Justin McClure:I self taught myself how to be a good filmmaker, how to be a good digital marketer, how to be good at Photoshop, how to make thumbnails, how to tell stories. So I self taught myself everything because my motivating factor and because I did not wanna go to a job. I didn't wanna go to a job, but I also did not want to use my kids or exploit my kids. So I said Right. You know, to my wife, like, we gotta make this a family business.
Justin McClure:The kids gotta have fun doing it. I'll do all the work. It's insulting kind of when people, like, these kids are working. My kids are having fun. I'm I'm doing the work.
Justin McClure:Right? Correct. Right. I'm the one who edits the videos and, like, built the whole thing, and I understand the algorithms and all this kind of stuff. You know, my my kids have fun with it.
Justin McClure:So I'm self taught at everything, and that great lesson there is that once you have the time and you have the focus, you can put your energy once again into places that can produce good results. And since then, I mean, we've worked with Disney, Walmart, Target, Google. I mean, we've we've worked with everybody, and we're still working with everybody. We're still, you know, getting brand deals. We're just so grateful for it.
Justin McClure:Like, we're just really and, Nick, if you ever saw my family outside of all this, we're exactly the same. Like, we're just real, normal, human people. My daughters are very grateful for their success. Like, they always talk to people. So I'm just really, really proud of the family that we have, and, that I guess that's the most important thing.
Justin McClure:It's just we're just a beautiful family to me. I I love my family. You know?
Mick Hunt:And I love your family from a distance. I'm a make a promise. I'm a come see you. We're gonna hang out one day.
Justin McClure:You're in Greenville, South Carolina?
Mick Hunt:Greenville, South Carolina. Yep.
Justin McClure:Oh, okay. Well, we'll I mean, I'll keep that in mind. We'll stay in touch because definitely when you're in Atlanta, meet up or if I'm out that way. I mean, we're not that far away.
Mick Hunt:No. I'm in Atlanta all the time. You know, my personal mentor is Les Brown. He lives in Atlanta. I actually was just in Atlanta yesterday, doing some things with Les.
Mick Hunt:So I'm always in Atlanta, and it's only an hour and a half from here, so we can definitely do that.
Justin McClure:Man. Next time you're around if I'm around, like, let's make some time.
Mick Hunt:Absolutely. And we're gonna have to do part 2 because there's so much that I wanna get into. I I definitely wanted to talk about you because to me, that's more important than anything you've done. It's the human that you are, and that's what attracted me to you on social. Right?
Mick Hunt:It wasn't the fame of Justin McClure. It was the story and and what you just said your because. And to me, I resonate completely with that. And I know that there's so much more that we can and should get into because you have some amazing tips and strategies on social and algorithms and how to do this the right way. Because, you know, I tell people this.
Mick Hunt:When you're trying to go viral, you fail. Right? Like, when you're trying, you fail. Like, the one thing I love about Justin is he is authentically himself, and he is proud of it. So, Justin, I'm proud of you.
Justin McClure:You know, I I started this new I started daily sober real quick. That's a motivating factor. I went from 0 subscribers. Now I have, like, 2,000. But I I'm in I'm in the early stages of building a new business.
Mick Hunt:Let's talk about it. Like, what's upcoming with Justin? We've got the book, the daily sober. I'm gonna have links to everything here, and I'll make sure that it's posted everywhere. But what's upcoming for Justin?
Justin McClure:Well, David told me it's my new thing. You know, like, a year ago, I told myself, you know, Justin, what do you really wanna do with your life, money aside? And I said, I get most passionate about helping people, sharing my story, inspiring people. And I said, well, I don't wanna write a whole book because people don't read a whole book. But what if I had a lesson, you know, one lesson per day, per day, and they were all different?
Justin McClure:Some lessons are about health. Some are about, you know, saber celebrities. Some are science related, like, all all kinds of stuff, and I have my story kinda woven through the whole thing. And the business lesson here is that I moved 365 daily lessons because I knew that would be 365 pieces of content I wouldn't have to think about. If every lesson is 1 minute long, like, today's lesson is real quick.
Justin McClure:What is today? July 26th. So July 26th, I'm gonna put out a video today, and it's gonna be called living today is the gift.
Mick Hunt:So Love it.
Justin McClure:What content do I need to do today? I'm gonna read this and I'm gonna put it down and I'm gonna do the video. I've been selling a lot of books because people like, oh, that was really good. Where'd that come from? The book he's holding up.
Justin McClure:And the other cool thing about it is I don't even tell people they have to buy the book. Like, I give it all away for free. If you go to my Instagram or go to the website, it's all there for free because I really wanna help people. If you really wanna help people, you'll just say, hey. Here it is.
Justin McClure:And make the last thing I'll say is that years ago, I didn't go into sobriety on a winning streak. I read things. I watched things that changed my life. So this is my little nugget to throw it out there. It might be a seed that might help somebody else.
Mick Hunt:I love it, man. And, you know, like I said, I've been following you for a while, and he is completely correct on Instagram. That's where I follow him. That's where if I'm not on LinkedIn, I'm on Instagram, and that's where I see Justin daily. And he does give it away for free, and he doesn't, like, short chain.
