Ever wondered how a simple family trip to Disney can teach you about joy, gratitude, and resilience? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Justin Schenck, the brilliant mind behind the Growth Now Movement podcast. Justin opens up about his unique experiences as a stepfather, the magic of Disney vacations, and the profound importance of embracing childlike wonder. From heartfelt stories about Father's Day to the enchantment of staying on Disney property, this episode is packed with wisdom on finding happiness in everyday moments.
Discover the transformative power of gratitude as Justin shares deeply personal stories, including the impact of losing his mother to opioids. Hear about the exceptional service at the Boathouse restaurant in Orlando and how encounters with memorable individuals like Ricky the waiter can create lifelong impressions.
