  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Hey everyone, it's Justin here, Voices for Voices.
• 0:05
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Thank you so much for joining us, whether you're here in the United States, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica, Greenland.
• 0:20
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's incredible.
• 0:22
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to join us for at least a part of this episode.
• 0:32
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So thank you very much.
• 0:34
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: The days are getting a little bit shorter, and uh actually the shortest day, I think, is here tomorrow or the day after.
• 0:48
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And for those of us like myself that have this thing called seasonal effective disorder, and uh you know, short days, you know, it's means that most of the day it's dark and there's very little sunlight that's available.
• 1:13
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So I I always like to think internally to myself that once I make it uh to the winter solstice, and then the day after, that's when the days get a little bit longer by like a minute or two.
• 1:29
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Uh so we're at that that part now.
• 1:32
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So I have that to look forward to from uh just a purely human perspective.
• 1:41
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Um again, thank you for for being with us.
• 1:46
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: This is episode 392.
• 1:49
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It really is just incredible.
• 1:53
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Say this time and time again, but it really is.
• 1:56
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Small organization like ourselves, we have no business having 392 episodes going on 400, except for the fact of the drive and the intensity and how we are driven by our higher power to continue pushing out information, content, experiences, guests.
• 2:30
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And talked about this on a previous episode, probably a couple previous episodes, by now, but it's because it's so important is you know why do we keep why do we keep at this?
• 2:47
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Why do we keep doing this?
• 2:49
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: What are we getting out of this?
• 2:53
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: What's the return on investment that we're getting out of this?
• 2:58
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And before we can get the return on investment that is so easily seen and heard of or being paid X dollars, X amount, Y amount, whatever, whatever letter, the alphabet you want to use, number, and so before we can do that, we have to believe.
• 3:29
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because if we don't believe in ourselves, nobody else is gonna believe in us.
• 3:35
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: You've seen how busy the world is, you see how busy your life is, how how busy everybody's life is, especially around this time of year for a lot of us, not everybody, but a decent amount of individuals.
• 3:53
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so, if it's been a practice of anything, it's been a practice of patience, which is very hard, not easy.
• 4:06
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I'm not a patient person.
• 4:09
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I want yeah, I want things, I want things now, and so do a lot of other people.
• 4:19
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: They want results, they want dollar amounts, they want all these other indicators.
• 4:28
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Otherwise, why are you doing this?
• 4:35
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's just a hobby.
• 4:37
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Well, it's not just a hobby.
• 4:42
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's not it could look like one.
• 4:49
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But it's not.
• 4:54
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Or not show us signs.
• 5:20
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I'm saying, okay, well, today's the day to quit.
• 5:25
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then one thing or the other happens, and here we are, and we're talking to you.
• 5:34
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Talking to ourselves.
• 5:37
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then another day goes.
• 5:42
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Alright, this is the day that it we're we're finishing it up.
• 5:47
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then we find ourselves somehow, some fashion around voices for voices.
• 5:59
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Before Voices for Voices, before the house of you, I never to this extent fully appreciated, fully understood what it meant to be an entrepreneur somebody doing something a little bit out of the ordinary.
• 6:31
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Some might say, oh, big deal.
• 6:45
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's just you talking in front of a camera and a microphone.
• 6:50
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's just you wanting to be popular, you want people to love you, you want the no.
• 6:55
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That would have stopped again on episode like one or two or three, or maybe ten.
• 7:05
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But for 100 episodes to go and less pass, then 200, then 300, and to be so close to 400 total episodes.
• 7:22
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: There is, there's there's quite a bit where I'm sharing.
• 7:32
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But as someone who started this organization around my mental health and helping.
• 7:46
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I thought we would do a little screen share to show how we got started.
• 7:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Okay if I can.
• 8:00
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Alright, so here we go.
• 8:09
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We're gonna actually start it over here.
• 8:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Okay.
• 8:13
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So right here you see faces, you see my name.
• 8:25
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Justin Allen Hayes, MBA, just fancy for going to um college for masters on top of my undergraduate.
• 8:42
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: The House of You again, that's that's the brand before Voices for Voices, but I own that brand as well, so that's why we're able to do this, and then prescription for living.
• 8:59
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And I just want you to focus on for living.
• 9:07
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Yeah, you see prescription for living, and say, Oh, you want me to take a prescription, and you only can get better if you take prescriptions, and that's not the case.
• 9:22
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Prescriptions can come in all kinds of forms, they can come in the form of a conversation, they could come in a form of uh uh playing music, strumming the guitar, hitting the drums, playing the bongos, and it doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't nobody's perfect, first of all.
• 9:47
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It doesn't have to be exactly like this song, it can just be just how you're feeling, and that's what the prescription or the prescription for living in my book means.
• 10:01
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Other people can talk about why they may have prescription in their books.
• 10:10
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I'm talking about my my book.
• 10:14
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Prescription could be medication, but again, could be playing music, could be playing cards, uh could be a whole host of different things.
• 10:31
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so this started.
• 10:36
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So what you're seeing and hearing, voices for voices, current day here, is a product of the House of You prescription for Living.
• 10:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because if I didn't write this, and again, it's like only I think 90 pages, so this isn't some humongous novel.
• 11:06
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It just goes through my mental health, my mental health journey.
• 11:12
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We all have mental health, and so I go through my mental health and then my mental illness journey up until the time to publish this particular book.
• 11:23
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so I have to I have to give it up for my um my counselor at the time, Alan.
• 11:36
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: He challenged me.
• 11:42
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because and this is years ago, seven years ago.
• 11:50
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because if it wasn't for him challenging me to say, Justin, have you ever thought about putting this out on a book format?
• 12:04
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And we he wasn't talking about like for a best seller.
• 12:10
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: He wasn't talking like that.
• 12:13
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: He was talking like that prescription, like something that was gonna potentially help me by sharing, getting some things off my chest, out of my mind.
• 12:31
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so if he had never challenged me, I never would have thought about putting the work in to put this particular book out.
• 12:45
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so here's the back, here's the back cover.
• 12:52
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So you see, you know, about the author, so that's you know, most every book has that.
• 13:02
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I just wanna I just wanna kind of zone in on here in prescription for living.
• 13:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Justin will walk you through his life with mental illness and share what some of the early symptoms of mental illness are and when to seek professional help.
• 13:23
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: A mental illness can impact your daily life, including work, interpersonal relationships, and nutrition.
• 13:32
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Self-diagnosing your symptoms and treatment is not the answer to mental health and mental illness.
• 13:40
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: How serious mental illnesses are, and how you can and how to advocate for yourself in the face of adversity.
• 13:49
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then lastly, in the these uh this bullet format, ways to make mental illness one of your greatest assets.
• 13:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: You hear me talk these last two bullets a lot.
• 14:00
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: How serious mental illnesses are and how to out, how serious they are and how to advocate for yourself in the face of adversity.
• 14:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I contend that that's exactly what's going on right now.
• 14:15
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: The voices for voices and what we're doing.
• 14:18
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because there's so much adversity, so much adversity, so much negativity, so much divisiveness.
• 14:29
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so advocating for ourselves goes back to what I said at the very beginning of this episode.
• 14:44
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: If we don't believe in ourselves and we don't believe what we're doing is making a difference, then we should probably think about doing something different, and that's okay.
• 14:55
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We we can do something different.
• 14:58
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We're all unique individuals, we're not all meant to do the same exact thing.
• 15:04
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So find what those things are or that thing, and then advocate for yourself when somebody questions you, stand up for yourself, stand up for people like you, just like I'm standing up for people like me.
• 15:26
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And I could as I mentioned, I could have quit so long ago, and people say, Well, you should just quit, or it's just a hobby, you can just do it on the side, and you know, nobody's saying that it's not a good thing you're doing, it's just you know, well, it it's um you know that where's that ROI?
• 15:55
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Where's that return on investment?
• 15:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Where are those dollar signs at?
• 16:00
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Where because see that's the traditional way of thinking.
• 16:05
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Like if I do A plus B, then I'll get C.
• 16:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And it may take a while for A to get to B, to have that opportunity to get to C.
• 16:21
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so we can.
• 16:26
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We can stop, we could just hang them up, hang up the shoes, hang up the coat, hang up the hat, the jacket, what have you, and say, well, it's been a great run.
• 16:39
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And we're just we'll just call it a day.
• 16:47
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But not here, not now.
• 16:55
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I face so much adversity, and a lot of it I probably put on myself.
• 17:04
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Whether I knew it at the time or not, I I probably did.
• 17:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I did put a whole lot of adversity on me and others that didn't need to be there, didn't have to be there.
• 17:23
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But that's neither here nor there.
• 17:28
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's only a one that adversity when it actually shows up and we know it's showing up, and we see it, and we hear it, and we can feel it, we can hear a pin drop in the room if we're able to hear.
• 17:52
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then we make that decision.
• 17:59
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Are we good?
• 18:01
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Are we are we is it a hobby?
• 18:09
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Is it just something where we're just we're just doing for the heck of it?
• 18:14
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Or is it something much more?
• 18:19
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's for each of us to decide that.
• 18:29
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And decisions aren't easy.
• 18:37
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: They sure are not easy.
• 18:41
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: See when you're helping people on on the level that we are it's hard to just say, uh, it's just a hobby.
• 19:01
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So we continue on.
• 19:08
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's like the other the other day, can't stop, won't stop.
• 19:13
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We're gonna continue on.
• 19:15
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then you see this laza bullet here.
• 19:19
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Ways to make mental illness one of your greatest assets.
• 19:23
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So one of one of my mental illnesses, ADHD, OCD, all you know, all those, you know, you know, that whole area there.
• 19:37
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So that comes with a lot of energy, a lot of a lot of ruminating, a lot of racing thoughts all over the place.
• 19:49
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That still happens, sure.
• 19:54
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because like we know, or if we don't know, which Know by now the mental illnesses are not things that can be cured.
• 20:08
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Some days we have good days, some days we have bad days, some days we have in-between days, some days the first part of the day is good, second part of the day is bad, and on and on and on.
• 20:20
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But one thing I know from having that extra energy, what I was doing before, the partying, and all these things that weren't as healthy as I could be.
• 20:39
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's what I was spending my extra energy on abuse and alcohol, etc.
• 20:50
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So instead of that now, now I know I have diagnoses, and I'm using that extra energy to help and to put shows out and to put our heads down.
• 21:04
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And how can we help?
• 21:05
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: What can we do?
• 21:06
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: What can we do better?
• 21:07
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: How many episodes can we do?
• 21:10
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: How many people can we help?
• 21:13
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so that is a much better headspace than where I was, and so that's what this bullet means here.
• 21:23
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Ways to make mental illness one of the greatest assets.
• 21:26
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Doesn't stop it.
• 21:41
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But because I'm able to realize that, I'm able to use that ball of energy, or at least some of it, and do some good out of it.
• 21:54
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And what we've been told is good.
• 22:01
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Some good.
• 22:03
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So this book, The House of You Prescription for Living, I wrote, this is available on Amazon.
• 22:11
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's available on electronic uh Kindle.
• 22:18
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's available on Audible.
• 22:21
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: If you if you listen to books, so you can find this.
• 22:28
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So the reason I'm showing this and why I I started off here is because without this book, this voices for voices would not will not exist.
• 22:51
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It just wouldn't exist.
• 22:53
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And then that leads to what else wouldn't exist.
• 23:03
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Well, voices for voices publishing wouldn't exist.
• 23:08
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Voices for voices publishing.
• 23:15
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: The Adolan.
• 23:20
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Comic book.
• 23:22
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Story by David Solomon, art by Cooper Saunders.
• 23:27
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So without that first book, Voices for Voices doesn't start just as an organization.
• 23:35
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: The show doesn't come together in whatever way, shape, or form it has.
• 23:42
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: It's constantly maneuvering.
• 23:46
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And the Adolan comic book through Voices for Voices Publishing would not have come about.
• 23:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So here's the back cover of the Adalan for purchase on Amazon.com as well.
• 24:14
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Long ago, a prophecy was spoken of the Adolan, a chosen one who would be born to raise Atlantis from the depths and unite the land and sea.

  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Every step Will takes draws him deeper into a battle, not just for his life, but for the future of heaven, earth, and the seas.

• 25:57
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We'll have voices for voices publishing.
• 26:00

• 29:26
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We're just we're back without uh having a screen share.
• 29:35
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: So that should be at least a few answers on why we continue doing what we're doing and ways to help others.
• 29:53
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's that's really what it is.
• 30:03
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And so I look back and think, well, I wish I didn't have my mental illnesses, I wish I didn't go through a release thing, I wish I didn't, I wish I didn't, I wish I didn't, I wish I didn't.
• 30:20
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Well, if I wouldn't have, then we wouldn't be here today, tonight, this morning, whatever time of day you're watching or listening to this particular show.
• 30:33
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: And I know, and we've said it time and time and time and time and time again.
• 30:46
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: When we leave this world, when we leave this herd, we cannot take all that money, we can't stuff it in the coffin, we can't take it with us.
• 30:54
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I mean, we can stuff it in a coffin, but it's not going with you to the eternal life, it's not going with you to heaven.
• 31:01
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: You're not gonna be able to take those cars, you're not gonna be able to take those mansions, you're not gonna be able to do all those things.
• 31:07
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: But you know what you do get to take with you?
• 31:09
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: You get to take a form of a legacy, and that is how we help somebody, how we help somebody's one person, two, a hundred.
• 31:31
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We have a big goal.
• 31:33
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: We want to help over three billion people over the course of my lifetime and beyond.
• 31:38
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: That's a legacy.
• 31:40
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: I don't have to worry about bringing that in the coffin with me.
• 31:45
  Justin Alan Hayes, Voices for Voices: Because for years to come, there's going to be individuals that were touched in a not a sick way.
• 31:59
