We had the good fortune of connecting with Justin Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Justin, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
During the pandemic, I was featured on a friend’s podcast and I felt that I needed to explain more. In other words, I felt my voice needed to be heard more, but on my own terms. After months and months of procrastinating, I decided to finally launch my own podcast platform.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a physical educator. I teach 2nd-5th grade. I am most proud of working with the little ones and watching them grow each and every day. It was a very long journey getting to where I am today. There was a point when I did not want to finish college but literally watching my wife walk across the stage to receive her degree woke me up and before you know it, college was completed. I have learned to not give up. Life will throw obstacles and you need to be able to duck and dodge them.

As for podcasting, it is now my hobby. I’m still fresh in the game. This upcoming August will make 1 year since I’ve been podcasting.

My platform is basically informing people of things that are happening around us locally, nationally, etc. Things sometimes happen the way they do because this is life! Every day people have all types of struggles, challenges, and adversities.

I also love to find out more about people from all walks of life. Life is interesting!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Being Miami is a huge city with different things to do, here are a few of my favorite places:

City Place Doral- Cinebistro (You can watch your favorite movie and have dinner at the same time, plus its 21+ after a certain time)

City Place Doral-Miami Improv Comedy Club(Catch your favorite comedian at different times/days along some delicious food and drinks!)

The Cage Bar & Grill Hollywood FL( I discovered this little hidden gem years ago. I do enjoy their food, drinks, and whatever game/event is going on. A little further out but worth checking out if you want to just kick back and have some good times!)

Joe’s Stone Crab Miami Beach (Only been twice but each time gets better and better! Make reservations, you’ll thank me later!)

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my beautiful wife Cynthia and daughter Asiah. Without them as my motivation, I literally would not be breathing. I’ve had some very dark times in my life and knowing that these two are still rooting for me is truly a blessing. I thank GOD for them!
