In this special episode of If You Could, hosts Matt and Taryn sit down with Justin Wren—former MMA fighter turned humanitarian—to explore what it means to live a life defined by serving others. Justin shares his journey of how fighting in the ring first saved his life, but fighting for the forgotten became his purpose. His nonprofit is dedicated to bringing clean water to forgotten communities in Africa, yet his story has an even wider reach. It’s one that may make us all reimagine what we’re capable of—or consider if there’s one small way to broaden our impact, because as Justin says, “every drop matters.”Follow Matt on LinkedIn here!Follow Taryn on LinkedIn here!
