Justin Wren is a former UFC fighter turned humanitarian leader whose work bridges elite sport, resilience, and global community impact. A two-time national champion wrestler and Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame inductee, Justin is the Founder and Executive Director of Fight For The Forgotten.
Justin’s mission began after a life-threatening battle with addiction led him to re-evaluate his purpose. A defining journey to the Democratic Republic of Congo transformed his outlook, setting him on a path to support the Batwa, Efe, and Mbuti Pygmy communities. Through his organisation, he has helped deliver clean water, land rights, sustainable agriculture, healthcare, and freedom from slavery to thousands of people. His work continues to expand across sectors, partnering with organisations that value social impact, resilience, and meaningful action.
Alongside his humanitarian leadership, Justin draws on his background as a 10-time State Champion, 5-time All American, and experienced UFC competitor in his memoir Fight For The Forgotten, while his podcast Overcome With Justin Wren, explores topics like mental health, trauma recovery, and the everyday battles people face.
In today's corporate environment, where purpose-driven leadership drives engagement, Justin demonstrates how personal accountability and resilience can transform challenges into opportunities. His experiences show organizations how to build authentic team cultures that embrace discomfort for growth while maintaining unwavering focus on meaningful goals. These principles help companies navigate uncertainty while creating sustainable impact.
Audiences leave Justin's presentations with practical strategies for overcoming obstacles, frameworks for setting and achieving ambitious goals, and renewed belief that individual contributions matter regardless of position. His storytelling inspires people to recognize their capacity for meaningful change within their professional roles.
Book Justin to give your team a rare combination of raw authenticity and actionable leadership principles that transform personal purpose into organizational impact.
