On this episode of On Purpose, I sat down with Justin Baldoni. Justin is an American actor, director, and filmmaker most known for the show, Jane the Virgin, and directing his most recent film, Five Feet Apart.

We discussed everything from what it takes to let a pure message pass through you, all the way to finding more nuanced alternatives to “toxic masculinity.” Justin brings a unique perspective to the table, with his Hollywood success and speaking on the TEDx stage.

We also talked about how to deal with feeling excluded from the group, and what it takes as an adult to cope with those wounds that still have yet to fully heal.
