  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So sometimes days go by fast, sometimes days go by slow.
• 5:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we don't really know when that's gonna be, like when there's gonna be a day like day like where it's just gonna go by super quick, where we're just gonna be busy from start to finish, and we're gonna look up and it's gonna be 8, 9, 10 p.m.

• 7:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We we come up, come up to the camera, and then we we share.
• 7:15
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh when days go fast, we're not able to get the episodes out as quickly as as we would like.
• 7:22
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um, and that gets frustrating.
• 7:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So there's all kinds of days, right?
• 7:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's all kinds of time.
• 7:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's just whether that time goes fast or slow, and the one thing that is consistent, whether the day goes slow or fast or quick or uh whatever, however, you want to describe it, time doesn't stand still.
• 7:53
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Time continues on.
• 7:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So even if it's like the second hand on the clock goes, feels like not that it is, but feels like it's going tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, like a you know, fast day, or tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, it feels like it's going a little bit slower.
• 8:15
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um, and I bring this up because let's do things we want to do, let's do things we love doing.
• 8:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Let's find out what those are or what it is that keeps our interest, our attention span.
• 8:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, you know, I've said it a lot that I don't know without the this organization, you know, I don't know where where I would be without my mental health team, medications, like all that.
• 9:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: What if I didn't have and now going to the gym, gym's being uh integrated, has been integrated for the last three, four weeks.
• 9:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I think this I think this is the fourth week.
• 9:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Around the fourth week, fourth or fifth.
• 9:18
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Anyways, so time doesn't stand still.
• 9:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And let's find some things we love to do.
• 9:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You might say, oh, Josh says, oh, it's easy for you to say.
• 9:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: No, it's not, it's really not easy for me to say.
• 9:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I didn't just wake up one day when I was very, very young and go, oh, I'm gonna do this.
• 9:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: When I I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.
• 9:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That that's what I wanted to be.
• 9:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I didn't think, oh, I'm gonna start a organization and podcast and TV show to help people because I was too self-centered.
• 10:07
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Some may still think that I am.
• 10:09
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I I am very sorry if that's what it appears to be.
• 10:18
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, you know, there I'm doing the best I can.
• 10:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, we have we just have a lot of things going on in the world and families, and and it's hard.
• 10:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's not easy.
• 10:41
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Oh, Justin, well, you're always in front of the camera and you're always doing shows, and you know, you you're talking about, oh yeah, you're not self-centered, but yet, you know, this is exactly what you're doing.
• 10:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, no, it it's a it doesn't work like that.
• 10:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: The reason I'm doing this is because I finally found the spot, the niche, the area that so far, where we're at now, is we're helping people.
• 11:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're helping a lot of people.
• 11:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I'm not looking for again, I I'm not looking for a shiny star sticker or a smiley face sticker or a pat on the back.
• 11:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I don't, yeah, those are nice.
• 11:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm gonna do what makes me feel good, and it makes me feel good knowing that our show, our organization, we can and are helping people step away from that ledge.
• 11:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yeah, there's there's a story that is out there where I'm not sure where exactly the United States it was or what bridge it was, and this was several months ago, but it resurfaced on my feed of one of my social media platforms, and it was a well-known singer.
• 12:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm not gonna give extra pressed.
• 12:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um was a well-known musical artist who's been around for like 30 years or so, and there was somebody who was on this bridge basically gonna jump.
• 12:46
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And it wasn't gonna be for fun or anything, it was they were gonna end their life.
• 12:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And somehow, some way this singer happened to be in the vicinity of this bridge and seeing what was going on, and uh they were able to talk this person off the ledge to get down, you know, that life's worth living, even if in the moment it might not seem like it.
• 13:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Not only in the moment, maybe there's a lot of moments that it doesn't seem like it.
• 13:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I get it.
• 13:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's a lot of moments where I think I'm like, whoa, what what is what is there to this?
• 13:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And then that's where I reach for the higher power, God, for me and think, well, he's put me here He's kept me here through thick and thin through really bad really bad experiences, really bad.
• 14:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um bad decisions and I'm still here and so that's a big part of what drives me too to do what we do with the organization.
• 14:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Easy thing quit.
• 14:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Lazy thing quit.
• 14:57
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're still gonna have lazy days.
• 15:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Where I'm not gonna go to the gym because I just want to have a day off.
• 15:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So I try to do two days on where I'm at the gym, and one day off, or three days at the gym, and then one day off somehow in that order.
• 15:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But there's gonna be times where there's gonna be two or three days off because I may be uh I may be traveling, I may be not around a gym that I'm able to do a workout that I'd like to do.
• 15:47
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so I would just adapt.
• 15:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: What can I do?
• 15:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: What kind of workout can I do in a hotel room?
• 15:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, there's there's different workouts you can do with just your body weight.
• 16:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so those will be the things that I'll do when um when uh the option for a gym is not there.
• 16:18
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Or you know, the whole jet lag deal or when it catches up, it catches up.
• 16:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean, talk about getting some rest, like but all these things that I mention are in the future or current, and as I mentioned at the beginning, you know, time doesn't stop, and I talk about this a lot, but time does not stop.
• 16:53
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It can feel like it does sometimes, like oh my gosh, like I said, like this day's going so slow, or oh my gosh, this day's gone so quickly.
• 17:09
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And that's the why I think each of us are searching for, if we haven't found it, that whether days are long, whether days are short.
• 17:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We want to find something that we love doing.
• 17:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And if you haven't been one of one of individuals that cares a lot about others or wanting to help others, that's your prerogative.
• 17:47
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But I'll I'll I'll say this try helping a person or two.
• 17:53
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Keep it small.
• 17:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It doesn't have to be this huge production.
• 18:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean, our show's not this huge production.
• 18:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We are straight to the point, we get to the point.
• 18:08
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Sometimes I call it the weave, where we kind of go away from the point and then come back, but it's all interconnected.
• 18:20
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: What we share and how we share it.
• 18:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, we help somebody see how that makes you feel.
• 18:30
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I don't remember the very first I don't remember the very first time that I helped somebody because it's it's been a long time ago and at the time it could have been a s like a gesture that didn't seem life-altering, life-changing.
• 19:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, if you do something with your seven, eight, nine, ten-year-old.
• 19:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You might not might not remember.
• 19:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Might just be like, you know, just a part of the day, and you do it, and then you just continue on.
• 19:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But I'd like to someday think about thought about, but actually see if I can pinpoint where it all started.
• 19:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean, we can say you know, we're voices for voices and all that because I'm a little bit older and grown and some people still say you still have whatever juvenile days where you know just like I don't want to do this, I don't want to do that, or not somehow, some way, all the way up to this point, I've been able to find a way to continue with voices for voices, sharing it, spreading the good news, sometimes spreading the news that isn't good, but it's in the public public's best interest, the public service announcement, that letting the public know about certain whether it's certain individuals, certain actions, whatever that can be.
• 20:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But what you want to do is you want to go to the description, not just this show or the other, all the other shows, whatever show you you come across, you're gonna find in that description our website how to purchase the books that you see so prominently on all of our shows.
• 21:07
