In this empowering episode of Start Poorly, Andrew Jobling sits down with pastor, author, and goal-setting enthusiast Justin Grifford, to unpack the liberating power of starting imperfectly. Justin’s new book, Start Poorly: Sidestepping Perfection to Reach Your Goals, challenges the myth that you need to have it all together before you begin.

With warmth, honesty, and a touch of humour, Justin shares how embracing failure, messiness, and vulnerability is the secret weapon to achieving big dreams and building sustainable habits. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and mentor, he offers practical tools to move from stuck to started—and from started to finished.

Whether you're overwhelmed by procrastination, paralyzed by perfectionism, or simply afraid to take that first step, this conversation will give you permission to be terrible, so you can eventually become unstoppable.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why perfectionism is often the enemy of progress
  • The value of “starting poorly” over not starting at all
  • How small, consistent actions lead to big transformations
  • Practical strategies for building habits that stick
  • How faith, purpose, and messy beginnings can lead to lasting growth
