“The way your brain functions without physical activity can be harmful. If you don’t have that release, you’re going to end up ingesting other elements of the world we live in, which is a mean-ass place.” – Justin Pearson

When I think about the people I’ve watched either close-up or from afar, Justin Pearson has constantly been on the radar—Mainly for his musical prowess, having fronted/been a party to some of my favorite bands like The Locust, Swing Kids, Retox, Head Wound City, Deaf Club.

“But, Will. Is Justin a runner?” No. And that’s why this is perfect… because the energy that drives us to run, can be found and admired and adopted from anywhere. And what strikes me the most about Justin is his drive, passion, originality, constant reinvention, staggering output, and ferocious forward motion.

His reach beyond music and into filmography, authorship, passion for yoga, and stamina of electric live performances night after night, is the kind of energy most can only dream of having. And I want to know how he manages it all, and what we can take away from it.
