At age twelve, the same year his pitching lost his team the opportunity at the world series, Justin Schenk's hip shattered into five pieces.
Soon after, his other hip needed surgery.
Over the next four years he was in and out of hospitals for surgeries spending half that time on crutches or in a wheelchair.
Those years sucked. But they were the training ground that would ultimately turn Justin into the man he is today. He learned how to deal with adversity, how to ask the right questions, and how to adjust when things get rough.
He parleyed that adversity into a career as an entrepreneur and podcaster. He started the Growth Now Movement podcast in 2016 and has since gone on to interview Ed Mylett, Joel Marion, Sarah Centrella, Andy Frisella and more huge names.
We talk about his new role as a fiancé, what it's like to be a bonus dad, and so much more!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
