Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

How Do You Turn Chaos Into Kindness Without Losing Your Mind? with Justin Spencer


Listen Later

This Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode drills into high-performance anxiety, fame pressure, and the operational systems behind kindness with rock drummer, creator, Emmy-nominated TV personality, and author Justin Spencer. From panic attacks at 19 to 8,000+ shows, Vegas residencies, and founding the Chaos and Kindness movement, Justin breaks down how to run at scale without combusting internally.
This conversation gets tactical. We unpack reframing anxiety as data, using constraints like ATL airport as a creative incubator, and treating kindness like a system instead of a feel-good buzzword. For listeners balancing ambition with nervous-system realities, this one’s a strategic reset.

About the Guest:

Justin Spencer is a rock drummer, founder of Recycled Percussion, Emmy-nominated TV creator, author of Terminal Anxiety, and the visionary behind the Chaos and Kindness movement. Known for massive stages, humanitarian impact, and unapologetic authenticity, his work blends creativity, service, and mental health awareness at scale.

Key Takeaways  :

  • Anxiety doesn't always disappear. Treat it as data. Not a flaw.

  • High-performing brains can also be high-compassion engines when systems are intentional.

  • Panic attacks and chronic anxiety don't disqualify you from world-class work. They shape your operational style.

  • ADHD-driven creativity can become a superpower if supported with structure.

  • The quiet moments often trigger more anxiety than the big stages. Build routines to manage both.

  • Kindness can be systemized with logistics, budgets, planning, and team alignment. Not just vibes.

  • Purpose, sleep, and fitness are the non-negotiable trifecta for long-term emotional sustainability.

  • Creativity thrives under constraints. Justin’s 3-week ATL airport writing challenge proves that boundaries create breakthroughs.

  • Generosity is a lifelong strategy. Not a PR stunt. Kindness becomes an anchor during internal chaos.

  • Nervous system regulation is leadership. Put your recovery on the calendar before your collapse forces it.
