Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin Stewart.
Justin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Started showcasing the inland empire and my hometown Riverside California in a comedic way to show that we have things to do, talented people out here as we are constantly overshadowed by surrounding areas in Southern California. People instantly took to what I was doing and with that, it has landed me in movies that are premiering soon, 200,000+ tiktok followers, 100 million+ views, 50k on Instagram, and a full-time podcast host on the foocimmunity. It had changed my life.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely have had struggles… when I first started, I was working a warehouse job and working a lot of hours, my fiance was pregnant, my daughter was still very young, and we didn’t have a lot of money and were living in the ghetto in the Eastside Riverside. Finding time to make videos was a struggle; dealing with hate was also a new thing for me as well.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I make comedy skits about the Inland Empire cities. I am well known around Southern California from it. I’m more proud about how much I’ve put the IE on the map. My work ethic and creativeness sets me apart from others
What are your plans for the future?
Definitely want to get more into acting and the podcast world!
