What do you get when you mix a law degree, Tumblr-era introspection, and a love for sneakers? A Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur who ditched the corporate grind to build PUSHAS - Australia's premier sneaker marketplace.
In this episode of Messie Minds, we chat with Justin Truong about his journey from growing up in southwest Sydney with humble beginnings, to scaling an eight-figure business. He gets candid about the pressures of immigrant expectations, the “failure” that changed everything, and why hustle culture might actually be missing the point.
We unpack how external validation can clash with internal chaos, why authenticity always wins, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can be your biggest flex. Oh, and he spills the tea on his Tumblr era too.
If you’ve ever felt torn between the path you “should” take vs. the one that lights you up? This one’s for you.
