Without this value, everything else falls apart.
In this first episode of the 6 Best Values for 2026 series, Justin kicks things off with a truth that might sting a little—you can’t have real success without integrity.
Not performative integrity. Not “say-the-right-thing” integrity.
We’re talking real, deep, honest-to-yourself-and-others integrity.
This episode breaks down:
- Why most people are out of integrity and don’t even realize it
- How integrity is less about others—and more about being honest with yourself
- What happens when your words, actions, and values don’t line up
- And how living in integrity creates alignment, flow, and magic
Whether you're leading a team, launching a project, or just trying to show up better in your relationships… this episode is your call to greatness.
🧠 Key Takeaways
- Integrity = Alignment.
- It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being honest and consistent with what you say, feel, and do.
- You can’t fake integrity.
- If you say you value something but your actions don’t back it up? That’s not a value—it’s wishful branding.
- Integrity starts with you.
- The most important person you need to keep your word to is yourself.
- “Inclusivity” ≠ integrity.
- Justin challenges buzzword values and explains why clarity of purpose often requires being exclusive.

Justin Wenck (00:00):
Today, I'm talking about the six best values for
(00:05):
2026 and we're going to getgoing with number six. And this
one is a doozy. Basically, ifyou don't have this as one of
your top values, and you're notliving towards it, it's
basically going to prevent youfrom having success in anything
you're going to attempt. Soyou're definitely going to want
to pay attention and listen tothis episode. Let's begin.
(00:30):
Are you ready to live a lifewith enough time, money and
energy have relationships andconnections that delight you?
Are you ready for theextraordinary life you know
you've been missing. If so, thenthis is the place for you. I'm a
best selling author, coach,consultant and speaker who's
worked in technology for overtwo decades. I'm a leader at
(00:53):
transforming people andorganizations from operating in
fear, obligation and guilt torunning off joy, ease and love.
It's time for engineeringemotions and energy with me.
Justin Wenck, PhD, so this isthe first episode where we're
going to be breaking down whatare the best six values to have
(01:18):
for 2026 so what is a value? Avalue is just something that you
think is important, something totry to live by. It's like a
standard of a way of living yourlife, of how do you make
decisions, and what do youpursue, and what do you say no
to? And so we're going to begoing through the six best
values that are going to helpyou have the success, and, more
(01:41):
importantly, the fulfillment,the relationships, the joy, the
experiences that truly matter toyou. And so what is value number
six that is so incrediblyimportant that if you don't have
this value on your radar, thatit's basically going to undo
anything that you attempt inyour life. So the number six
(02:06):
value is integrity. That'sright. Integrity, that sense of
basically, I'm honest. I My wordis my bond. I do what I say, and
if I can't, I make it right?
Basically, am I trustworthy? Andthe most important thing is it
doesn't even have to do withother people. It's Do you trust
(02:27):
yourself? So when it comes tointegrity, if you say I'm going
to do something and you don't doit, and nobody ever finds out,
you know, like, if you say I'mgoing to I'm going to exercise
more, or I'm going to treatpeople better, and then you
don't, that goes that you're outof integrity. And how I realized
(02:51):
that this is so important and somany people are missing. This is
recently, somebody reached outto me. They were doing a an
organizational retreat, and theywere like, they wanted me to
one. They wanted me to kind ofhelp them get in the right state
by sharing my life, energyactivation process, my energy,
(03:13):
my energy practice with them.
Leap. And then also, like, Okay,well, how, how how can I format
this thing, you know, wentthrough, okay, here's, you know,
here's kind of the order youwant to do things. Because the
main thing with the retreat wasto share a new vision and get
get the whole team, the wholeorganization, aligned. So it's
like, okay, well, here's, here'show you want to break it down.
(03:36):
These are the things. And one ofthe things I said that's very
important is you want to havesome shared organizational
values soon. When I was, youknow, teaching my elite
practice, I learned that, oh,integrity is not a value in this
organization. And it was reallyeasy for me to tell because one
(03:56):
was, I was told, okay, we'regoing to start at this time. And
then it got pushed back. Andthen I got told, Oh, well,
somebody's running late. They'llbe here in five minutes. Okay,
five minutes later. Oh, they'reactually not here. And it's
like, okay, well, are they goingto be here soon or not? And you
(04:19):
know, well, let's call, let'scall this person. And you know,
there's, there's kind of like,oh yeah, just, you know, just
gonna be here in five minutes.
And at that point, the like,well, there's probably gonna be
more, like, 10 minutes. Can wejust, can we just get started?
And I responded with somethingthat I could tell that was, was
shocking. He said, They said no,and they're like, well, can't
they just join later on? And Iwas like, No, the this practice.
(04:41):
It's like, once I once I startteaching it. It's a closed
container. Once it starts, wego, do we go to completion? I
can't have people joining andleaving. You know, it's like,
it's like a ride, an amusementpark, like, you know, you you
strap in, the ride starts,you're in the ride, until the
ride. Is over, you know, youcan't, like, get out and jump
(05:01):
off the roller coaster, and youcan't parachute in and somehow
get on the roller coaster whileit's, well, it's in motion. And
the reason I said no, as, like,because I have integrity with my
practice and what I teach, and Iknow this is important. It's
powerful. And this is notsomething to be just, you know,
dip in, dip out, kind of like, Idon't know, just like, you know,
coming into a movie or whatever,that's something that's, you
(05:23):
know, just for entertainment.
This is something that'spowerful, life changing. And so
just from the fact that, youknow, there was the, there was
no integrity with when someonesays they're going to show up
and then showing up, I was like,Oh, this, this organization is
not valid. It doesn't haveintegrity as one of their
values. And even if they were tostate it, they don't actually
(05:44):
live by it. So basically,anything that this
organization's likely going toattempt isn't going to work out,
because there's going to beinherent lack of trust amongst
the people, like, if you can'ttrust, when somebody says,
Here's what, I'm going to bethere. Now, again, one important
thing about integrity is itdoesn't mean you have to be
perfect. Have to be perfect. Andif you fail, you don't live up
to what you say, that you're abad person. Life happens. Things
(06:07):
get in the way. That's totallyokay. It's what you do about it,
right? It's having the intentionto be an integrity as much as
possible. So it's like, ifyou're, you know, like you left
late. Own it. You left late. Andyou look at the map thing, and
it's like, says you're going tobe there in 15 minutes. You go,
(06:27):
says, I'm going to be says I'mgoing to be arriving in 15
minutes. And then, you know,somebody knows what the parking
situation is. Okay, 15 minutes,five minutes, you know. So then
people can know what's going on,and they can trust that you know
what you say is going to reflectwhat they're going to experience
with you. And this is, again, asmuch for other people as it is
(06:48):
for yourself. If it's like,Okay, I'm going to do these
habits, or I'm going to do thesepractices, or I'm I'm going to
talk to myself in this way, doyou follow through with
yourself? Because, again, you'reas an important part of your
life as anybody else around you.
So if you're in integrity, ifyou're honest with yourself,
because this is the otherimportant thing, is it's also
(07:09):
okay to say no, and just like,I'm not, I'm not doing that.
Like, okay, I'm not going to eatwell today, or I'm I'm not going
to respond to this. I'm notgoing to do these things because
I don't want to. It's notimportant right now, and it's so
freeing to just go, I'm notdoing it. This is not important
to me right now. You're going tofeel so much better. And it's
(07:33):
honest. It's like, you know, ifyou don't want to go to
something, don't say, Oh yeah,I'm going to show up and then
not show up. Just say, Hey, Iwon't be able to make it.
Because, again, there's somethings where it's like, you're
going to be polite, right? Andso it's finding the ways to be
integrity within whatever thenorms of it, your circle, your
culture, your business, right?
(07:57):
So integrity is so key, and I dokind of want to have, like, a
little bit of an aside aboutsomething that I've noticed is a
big clue that there's likelygoing to be a big lack of
integrity in the group. Is,anytime there's there's a big
push or a big mention of this isgoing to be inclusive. I'd like
(08:21):
to call it the stupidity ofinclusivity. The thing is, the
human experience is inherentlyexclusive. It's having something
that is going to be separatefrom what everybody else is
likely able to have, and it'sgoing to be having time limited
(08:42):
people limited, where noteverybody's doing the same
thing, because we all havechoice. The only truly inclusive
environment is all of Earth,because it includes all of us.
Otherwise, if some event, somelocation, is called inclusive,
then it's automatically to meout of integrity, because it
(09:06):
can't be for everybody. This isvery different than and we'll
get into this in a futureepisodes. I've talked about this
on previous episodes that youknow, anyone that you have in
contact with, regardless ofwhere they come from, what they
like, what they're into, this,that the other thing you treat
with kindness and respect andlove, yet you say this is, this
(09:29):
is what this event, thisorganization, this is what it's
about. And that's not going toand you own this is that it's
not going to be for everybody,and that's a good thing that
this is not going to be foreverybody. For example, sailing,
I've done sailing in the past.
It's so fun, yet it's not goingto be for people that don't like
(09:53):
to be around water. It's notinclusive. It's not inclusive of
people that hate being. On thewater or possibly getting wet.
It's just not, not inclusive.
And other parties, they're not,they're not going to be
inclusive, because there'sprobably a reason why people are
getting together, right? Solike, and that's okay. It's what
(10:17):
makes life exciting. It's whatmakes being human exciting. So
owning and saying, What is thisabout? Why is this worth having,
showing up for experiencing?
Because if it's truly inclusive,it's either going to be so
incredibly boring, or it's goingto be just so off the wall
weird, or it's just, it's justnot going to be a good event.
(10:39):
Good event is, here's what'sgoing on. Do you want to come?
Come, if not, not. And again,it's not about, okay, what
somebody looks like this, thatthe other thing, right? It's
about what is what is this for?
What is the purpose? So wheneverI see someone say, this is
inclusive, I'm like, this issomebody that's likely going to
(11:02):
be out of integrity, becausethey don't actually know what
they're about. They don't knowwhy they're doing what they're
doing, and they just, they'rejust doing something because it
sounds good, and people that arejust doing stuff that sounds
good will say anything so thatit sounds good, looks good,
whatever. And then when thatchanges or doesn't work out,
they're going to change it. Andagain, integrity is so important
(11:24):
to living the life that youtruly want to have, because if
you can't be honest withyourself and be honest with
other people, how are you goingto be able to actually enjoy and
live the life that you actuallywant? Because there's always
going to be misalignment.
There's going to be a differencebetween what you're saying and
what you're doing and whatyou're feeling. And alignment is
incredibly powerful. So powerfulwhen what you say, do and feel
(11:49):
lines up. That's when you canget into flow. And magic just
happens. And I want you toexperience this magic. I want
you to feel it. I want you toknow it. I want it to be
something that becomes just soeaseful, and you can't do
everything, and you can't pleaseeveryone, yet when your
integrity in integrity, you'regoing to respect yourself.
(12:11):
Others are going to respect you.
And again, there's going to beways to do this kindly, right?
So it's not this like, Oh, I'mjust gonna say, I'm just gonna
say the truth. I don't care whatanybody thinks. That's bullshit
too. That's total completebullshit. That's what
narcissists do. That's whatpeople that are choosing to live
(12:32):
life like an asshole are doing.
And again, like, that's that'salso out of out of integrity,
that's just posturing, that'sjust pretending. Because again,
if you know you actually arehuman, and you're feeling and
you're aware and you'renoticing, you do care about
other people, and it's abouthonoring them and honoring
yourself and being honest, sothat can come together where
(12:55):
it's where you're meant to cometogether you can experience what
you mutually desire, so you cancollaborate and share and create
when you want to, and then whenit's time to let that go.
Because it's like you want to dosomething else, they want to do
something else, I want to dosomething else. You all can in
integrity, move along, right?
(13:18):
Because values. The big thingabout values is it guides your
ability to make decisions, havechoices, and decide things from
a much more loving, caring,respectful place. And so I'm
very curious, where doesintegrity rank for you and your
values, and even moreimportantly, do you actually
(13:41):
live up to the value ofintegrity. Because it's one
thing to say you value integrityyet, and this is where it's even
more hilarious, is, do youactually make the decisions,
live the life, choose thechoices that keep you within
integrity? Because if not, thenit's just bullshit. You don't
actually value integrity. Youcan say, I value integrity, but
(14:04):
then with it gets hard. Ifyou're late, you lie, or if you
like, Oh yeah, I'm not going todo this anymore. And you do it
anyway. You're out of integrity.
You don't actually value it.
It's only a value if yourbehaviors match up with your
value. And so this is whyintegrity is so so important,
because without it, you youcan't even live up to you any
(14:28):
other values you may have. Andwe're going to begin that into
future episodes, because we'redoing six of the best values for
this year of 2026 and you'redefinitely going to want to make
sure you're subscribing so youdon't miss it. Might not do
these all in a row, but we'lldefinitely get through all six
(14:48):
before 2026. Is over. My goal isto get through them sooner yet,
if other topics come up, ifother things come up, you know,
but we will. I've got themwritten down. I've got them
planned out so I've got all six.
Ready for you. So I'd love tohear, what are your thoughts on
integrity? Where does it rankfor you? And then how well do
you do actually living inintegrity? And what is it like
(15:09):
when you notice that somebody isan organization, group, whatever
is not in integrity? And I trulybelieve that the more each of us
start to be in our own personalintegrity more and more, then
we'll start to see the externalworld be more and more
integrity. So this really is oneof those things where it can
(15:30):
begin with you Be the change youwant to see in the world. If you
want more integrity out in yourworld, start to live with more
integrity. So with that, thankyou so much and good day. Thanks

(00:30):
Are you ready to live a lifewith enough time, money and

It's time for engineeringemotions and energy with me.
Justin Wenck, PhD, so this isthe first episode where we're
going to be breaking down whatare the best six values to have
(01:18):
for 2026 so what is a value? Avalue is just something that you
think is important, something totry to live by. It's like a
standard of a way of living yourlife, of how do you make
decisions, and what do youpursue, and what do you say no
to? And so we're going to begoing through the six best
values that are going to helpyou have the success, and, more
(01:41):
importantly, the fulfillment,the relationships, the joy, the
experiences that truly matter toyou. And so what is value number
six that is so incrediblyimportant that if you don't have
this value on your radar, thatit's basically going to undo
anything that you attempt inyour life. So the number six
(02:06):
value is integrity. That'sright. Integrity, that sense of
basically, I'm honest. I My wordis my bond. I do what I say, and
if I can't, I make it right?
Basically, am I trustworthy? Andthe most important thing is it
doesn't even have to do withother people. It's Do you trust
(02:27):
yourself? So when it comes tointegrity, if you say I'm going
to do something and you don't doit, and nobody ever finds out,
you know, like, if you say I'mgoing to I'm going to exercise
more, or I'm going to treatpeople better, and then you
don't, that goes that you're outof integrity. And how I realized
(02:51):
that this is so important and somany people are missing. This is
recently, somebody reached outto me. They were doing a an
organizational retreat, and theywere like, they wanted me to
one. They wanted me to kind ofhelp them get in the right state
by sharing my life, energyactivation process, my energy,
(03:13):
my energy practice with them.
Leap. And then also, like, Okay,well, how, how how can I format
this thing, you know, wentthrough, okay, here's, you know,
here's kind of the order youwant to do things. Because the
main thing with the retreat wasto share a new vision and get
get the whole team, the wholeorganization, aligned. So it's
like, okay, well, here's, here'show you want to break it down.
(03:36):
These are the things. And one ofthe things I said that's very

is what this event, thisorganization, this is what it's
about. And that's not going toand you own this is that it's
not going to be for everybody,and that's a good thing that
this is not going to be foreverybody. For example, sailing,
I've done sailing in the past.
It's so fun, yet it's not goingto be for people that don't like
(09:53):
to be around water. It's notinclusive. It's not inclusive of
people that hate being. On thewater or possibly getting wet.
It's just not, not inclusive.
And other parties, they're not,they're not going to be
inclusive, because there'sprobably a reason why people are
getting together, right? Solike, and that's okay. It's what
(10:17):
makes life exciting. It's whatmakes being human exciting. So
owning and saying, What is thisabout? Why is this worth having,
showing up for experiencing?
Because if it's truly inclusive,it's either going to be so
incredibly boring, or it's goingto be just so off the wall
weird, or it's just, it's justnot going to be a good event.
(10:39):
Good event is, here's what'sgoing on. Do you want to come?
Come, if not, not. And again,it's not about, okay, what
somebody looks like this, thatthe other thing, right? It's
about what is what is this for?
What is the purpose? So wheneverI see someone say, this is
inclusive, I'm like, this issomebody that's likely going to
(11:02):
be out of integrity, becausethey don't actually know what
they're about. They don't knowwhy they're doing what they're
doing, and they just, they'rejust doing something because it
sounds good, and people that arejust doing stuff that sounds
good will say anything so thatit sounds good, looks good,
whatever. And then when thatchanges or doesn't work out,
they're going to change it. Andagain, integrity is so important
(11:24):
to living the life that youtruly want to have, because if
you can't be honest withyourself and be honest with
other people, how are you goingto be able to actually enjoy and
live the life that you actuallywant? Because there's always
going to be misalignment.
There's going to be a differencebetween what you're saying and
what you're doing and whatyou're feeling. And alignment is
incredibly powerful. So powerfulwhen what you say, do and feel
(11:49):
lines up. That's when you canget into flow. And magic just
happens. And I want you toexperience this magic. I want
you to feel it. I want you toknow it. I want it to be
something that becomes just soeaseful, and you can't do
everything, and you can't pleaseeveryone, yet when your
integrity in integrity, you'regoing to respect yourself.
(12:11):
Others are going to respect you.
And again, there's going to beways to do this kindly, right?
So it's not this like, Oh, I'mjust gonna say, I'm just gonna
say the truth. I don't care whatanybody thinks. That's bullshit
too. That's total completebullshit. That's what
narcissists do. That's whatpeople that are choosing to live
(12:32):
life like an asshole are doing.
And again, like, that's that'salso out of out of integrity,
that's just posturing, that'sjust pretending. Because again,
if you know you actually arehuman, and you're feeling and
you're aware and you'renoticing, you do care about
other people, and it's abouthonoring them and honoring
yourself and being honest, sothat can come together where
(12:55):
it's where you're meant to cometogether you can experience what
you mutually desire, so you cancollaborate and share and create
when you want to, and then whenit's time to let that go.
Because it's like you want to dosomething else, they want to do
something else, I want to dosomething else. You all can in
integrity, move along, right?
(13:18):
Because values. The big thingabout values is it guides your
ability to make decisions, havechoices, and decide things from
a much more loving, caring,respectful place. And so I'm
very curious, where doesintegrity rank for you and your
values, and even moreimportantly, do you actually
(13:41):
live up to the value ofintegrity. Because it's one
thing to say you value integrityyet, and this is where it's even
more hilarious, is, do youactually make the decisions,
live the life, choose thechoices that keep you within
integrity? Because if not, thenit's just bullshit. You don't
actually value integrity. Youcan say, I value integrity, but
(14:04):
then with it gets hard. Ifyou're late, you lie, or if you
like, Oh yeah, I'm not going todo this anymore. And you do it
anyway. You're out of integrity.
You don't actually value it.
It's only a value if yourbehaviors match up with your
value. And so this is whyintegrity is so so important,
because without it, you youcan't even live up to you any
(14:28):
other values you may have. Andwe're going to begin that into
future episodes, because we'redoing six of the best values for
this year of 2026 and you'redefinitely going to want to make
sure you're subscribing so youdon't miss it. Might not do
these all in a row, but we'lldefinitely get through all six
(14:48):
before 2026. Is over. My goal isto get through them sooner yet,
if other topics come up, ifother things come up, you know,
but we will. I've got themwritten down. I've got them
planned out so I've got all six.
Ready for you. So I'd love tohear, what are your thoughts on
integrity? Where does it rankfor you? And then how well do
you do actually living inintegrity? And what is it like
(15:09):
when you notice that somebody isan organization, group, whatever
is not in integrity? And I trulybelieve that the more each of us
start to be in our own personalintegrity more and more, then
we'll start to see the externalworld be more and more
integrity. So this really is oneof those things where it can
(15:30):
begin with you Be the change youwant to see in the world. If you
want more integrity out in yourworld, start to live with more
integrity. So with that, thankyou so much and good day. Thanks
