"One of my friends is Justin Wren... he is the nicest, most charitable human being I've ever met in my life... Until I'd met him, until I'd spent tons of time with him and talked to him, I didn't know that someone was that selfless, and could be that kind and gentle"Joe Rogan, Comedian, Podcast Host, UFC Commentator
"but at the same time, be an elite mixed martial arts fighter and such a contradiction, but he's so kind to everyone. When I think about people, about kindness and generosity and selflessness, I think of that guy. Because I know him, he's changed my spectrum - the spectrum of what's possible in people."Kelly Manning, Sr. VP of Development Growth Energy
"Justin has a keen ability to really pour himself into truly listening and connecting to the folks he was around during our event. He invested extra time to do this with us the night before going above and beyond our agreement. That’s the kind of guy he is. The real deal."
