  • Are you keeping you from success? Forbes Magazine Top Influencer Justin McClure shares how he transitioned from rock bottom to success by eliminating the distraction of "self". Justin McClure, is an autodidactic photographer, videographer, keynote speaker, and former comedian with more than a decade of creative experience. His skill set helped catapult his family to fame in 2016 following their viral UA-cam video, "Twins Realize They Look The Same." (See video below). Since, Justin and his family have amassed over 5 million social media followers, partnered with major brands, and recognized as a Forbes Magazine Top Influencer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    This man is so right! People, places and things can change your life around. Folks will constantly complain and want more out of life but they have to be the one to put in the effort to change.

    Thank you so much for this Ted Talk. I hope to listen to more talks from you. You are an inspiration. Although I do not drink or do drugs, I felt this related to me. I feel as if I've reached rock bottom. But I also feel I had to get there in order to move forward. I think what you said, and what you do with your family's channel is amazing. You should be so proud of who you are and who you've become! I'm still learning as I go. But like you said earlier in your speech you hit rock bottom in your thirties.I am in my thirties now, and feel like I just keep bashing my head on the rock, and not learning from it. Keep moving backward. But it's time to move forward. And I thank you for your words. I thank you for what you and your family do. It brings a smile to my face to see your beautiful family and watch you all grow. Keep up the great work. You are amazing. Never forget that.
