Following Inspiration Wherever It Leads

This week on If You Give A Dad A Podcast, Jared is joined by the wildly talented Justin Cabanting — a voice actor, stunt performer, motion-capture artist, and all-around creative Swiss Army knife.

What starts as a conversation about Justin’s career quickly turns into a full-on Millennial nerd fest. From growing up on legendary TV shows, to Game Boy and N64 memories, to what it’s really like working behind the scenes in voice acting, stunts, and mo-cap, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and real talk about the creative grind.

Justin shares how following inspiration — instead of a perfectly mapped-out plan — led him into the entertainment industry and across multiple creative lanes. Along the way, he and Jared bond over the media that shaped them, the joy of fandom, and what it means to keep learning, evolving, and saying “yes” to the next thing.

It’s lighthearted, honest, and full of that “we grew up in a great era” energy.

Come for the nerd talk. Stay for the perspective.
