His work continues to expand across sectors, partnering with organisations that value social impact, resilience, and meaningful action.
Alongside his humanitarian leadership, Justin draws on his background as a 10-time State Champion, 5-time All American, and experienced UFC competitor in his memoir Fight For The Forgotten, while his podcast Overcome With Justin Wren, explores topics like mental health, trauma recovery, and the everyday battles people face.
