Some stories stop you in your tracks. Justin Elliott's is one of them.

This is Tuesday Truths. A weekly highlight from this week's guest, Justin Elliott, pulling the most powerful moments from Part 1 (dropped yesterday) and a taste of what's coming in Part 2 tomorrow.

Addiction. Incarceration. Faith. A food van on the streets of Melbourne and a community built from nothing. Justin's story is not about arriving somewhere comfortable. It is about choosing to show up, every single time, even when life gave him every reason not to.

If you have not caught Part 1 yet, this will make you want to. If you have, this will hit even harder.

Part 2 drops tomorrow, Wednesday at:

4:00am Melbourne (AEST)

7:00pm London, Tuesday evening (BST)

2:00pm East Coast USA, Tuesday afternoon (EDT)
