On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win Kelly Charles and Juan Carlos Gill welcomes Justin Peck. Justin put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger, but it didn’t go off. The rush he got in that moment is what probably saved his life. That’s the day he knew he was bulletproof. Like all of us, Justin was born normal. But he didn’t allow himself to stay that way. He chose to become a racer, a champion, a survivor. A few, like Justin, break out of the pack and become great, even extraordinary. What is it that allows these people not to accept the every day, the run of the mill or the necessary? What makes them become outliers? Justin didn’t know he would be out of the ordinary — and even today, he’ll tell you he’s just a regular guy who started from nothing. Being normal was going to be a stretch. As a child, he was the little guy, the one bullied, isolated and left without a voice among his peers. In that world grew the resilience, the focus and the heart of a champion. By his teens, Justin found himself fearless and addicted to an adrenaline rush. He began referring to himself as “bulletproof,” a nickname his mother didn’t love, but he felt was innately fitting. The moment he knew he would be a racer came when he was 17 on track with his father. In the cacophony of the fans and the roar of the cars, he told his father, “That’s going to be me one day.” He became a father at 18. He rode in his first race at 20. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 26, a condition he’s had since he was 13. The constant force was that he was unstoppable — he was bulletproof.
