Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play.

I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often ...

This isn’t about being passive or lazy, but about shifting our intention. Instead of proving our worth, we express it. Previous guests include Jonny Wi ...
