    Unmasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T Berglan

    Featuring Visionary Entrepreneur Justin Breen

    Introduction

    In a captivating episode of "Unmasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T. Berglan," we had the privilege of speaking with Justin Breen, a visionary entrepreneur and connector. This interview offers profound insights into the mindset of a true visionary and the importance of authenticity in both personal and professional spheres.

    The Power of Authenticity and Purpose

    Breen emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself, quoting, "A genius is one who is most like himself." This philosophy underpins his approach to life and business, encouraging others to embrace their authentic selves. For Breen, everything revolves around purpose and loved ones, with authenticity at the core.

    According to Breen, visionaries have no choice but to follow their purpose. He describes it as "a pure commandment from a higher power," highlighting the deep-seated drive that propels visionaries forward despite challenges.

    Healing and Growth: The Path to Global Impact

    Breen's book, "Epic Journey," focuses on the importance of healing one's own heart to contribute positively to the world. He believes that most people live with broken hearts, and by healing themselves, they can better address global issues. This approach emphasizes the connection between personal growth and broader societal impact.

    Redefining Success and Consciousness

    For Breen, success is not about traditional metrics but about raising consciousness and following one's heart. He reinterprets his father's saying, "The cream rises to the top," as a call to elevate one's consciousness and pursue authentic passions. This perspective challenges conventional notions of success and encourages a more holistic approach to personal and professional development.

    The Rarity of Visionary Thinking

    Breen estimates that true visionaries comprise less than 1% of the population. He describes the visionary journey as "not for everyone" and compares it to a thrilling yet challenging roller coaster ride.

    Practical Advice for Aspiring Visionaries

    • Embrace authenticity and stay true to yourself.
    • Focus on healing your own heart to better serve others.
    • Recognize that the visionary path is challenging but rewarding.
    • Connect with like-minded individuals who understand and support your vision.
    • Take responsibility for your actions and avoid making excuses.
    • Continuously work on raising your level of consciousness.

    The Importance of Family and Heritage

    Breen's responses reveal a deep connection to his family history and the values instilled by his ancestors. He speaks movingly about his grandmother, nicknamed "The Little Colonel," and his father, a World War II hero. These family stories serve as a source of inspiration and guidance in his entrepreneurial journey.

    Creating a Sanctuary for Visionaries

    When asked about creating a holiday for visionaries, Breen proposes "Sanctuary Day," reflecting his belief that visionaries need a space where they can be truly understood and supported. This concept aligns with his work in creating networks and communities for like-minded individuals.

    About Justin Breen
