Justin Lee: Going beyond my borders to make a difference

What Connects Us - A podcast by Conexus Credit Union

Categories:

Travelling is typically against the rules in basketball, but in Justin's case, it inspired him to make a difference in the community. For the season four finale of the What Connects Us Podcast, we're talking with Justin Lee who teamed up with his twin brother to start Buckets & Borders - a non-profit organization that utilizes basketball to bring people together and make game changing impacts in the community. Justin talks about how the initiative was sparked by combining his passion for connecting with different cultures with his love for sport and how this has translated into the highs and lows of starting a non-profit organization. We go deep into their first big impact in the community, the Lakeview Project, where his team didn't just revitalize a basketball court - but engaged, united and inspired a younger generation to invest in the community. Finally, we chat about what's next for Buckets & Borders and how he handles the pressure of meeting expectations, especially after the success of their first project.
