Personal Training. Beauty Pageants. Health and fitness. Public Relations. Throw all that in a high-speed blender with a good helping of glitter running through the veins and you have New York City’s own Justin Popovics. We sat down recently in the studio to talk to Justin about the emotional journey from his early days growing up in Syracuse to the mainstage of the Big Apple and everything in between. Fun, smart and original, J.P. gives us a conversation to remember. Werrrrrrrk that Northeast Pivot!
