In this powerful episode of the Million Dollar Stories podcast, Mike Fallat sits down with Justin Cook, an industry leader in insurance and the newly crowned bestselling author of Freedom Beyond Wealth. Together, they dive deep into Justin’s journey from Cape Girardeau, Missouri to building a thriving business and life rooted in purpose, gratitude, and resilience.

Justin shares the ups and downs of writing his book, how it brought clarity to his mission, and why so many people struggle to finish what they start. He opens up about rejection, risk-taking, and how consistent habits—like morning gratitude and daily reading—have shaped his identity and success.

Listeners will also hear valuable insight on building a strong team, the power of daily meetings, the necessity of social media in today’s business world, and how to shift your mindset from selling to serving. Justin explains why entrepreneurship is a personal development journey disguised as a business endeavor—and how he now helps other high-achievers find peace beyond their financial wins through his coaching program, Freedom Beyond Wealth Coaching.
