Imagine growing up in a home where both parents struggle with mental illness, addiction, and other challenges. What would that feel like?

Justin Pickens doesn’t have to imagine—he lived it. But instead of letting those hardships define him, he turned them into stepping stones to success.

Join Randy McNeely - Captain Kindman and Justin Pickens as  shares how a "village" of friends, teachers, and mentors helped him push through—and how he’s now paying that kindness forward, empowering others to rise above their challenges.
