When does a fleeting thought transform into life-changing action? In this deeply personal episode, Justin Alan Hayes pulls back the curtain on how Voices for Voices® approaches its mission of helping 3 billion people worldwide.

The journey has already led to remarkable milestones—over 220 episodes reaching more than 50 countries—but the path hasn't been without challenges. Justin candidly explores how his decision-making process parallels that of collaborative partners like Dr. Isaacson of Kutztown University Orchestra, whose mind was already prepared when an opportunity arose to integrate a special needs orchestra with university musicians. Similarly, Justin's openness to possibilities allowed him to accept invitations to Ukraine despite wartime conditions, creating unique content that serves communities often overlooked by mainstream media.

What makes this conversation particularly valuable is the honest examination of mental health throughout these experiences. "Mental health is still health," Justin emphasizes, sharing his own surprising discovery through therapy that despite his public-facing persona, he identifies more as an introvert. This vulnerability creates space for listeners to reflect on their own self-understanding journey. The episode weaves together organizational growth, personal development, and the practical realities of running a nonprofit media platform committed to tackling difficult topics like human trafficking when timing is critical.
