Featured Interview With Joseph Binning
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Once an abandoned, homeless, substance abusive teen dropout, Joseph Binning rose to become a self-made visionary—the first graduating classman with a 3D Building Information Modeling degree, owner and founding president of MEPCor, nationally respected industry innovator, multiple marathon-triathlon competitor, humanitarian, mentor, San Diego Center For Children board member, world traveler, health enthusiast, and doting father. In discovering the truth of his limiting beliefs about himself, love, and success, Joseph not only reinvented himself, but joyfully made it to his self-proclaimed finish line. At a transformational workshop in 2016, as he whispered into the ears of the attendees the two words his heart had forever yearned to hear, he suddenly—and with clarifying certainty—knew his life purpose. “If I were to die in my sleep tonight, I would be at peace, knowing that I helped others to know how much they matter, because I discovered the truth…that I MATTER.” —Joseph Binning, July 2019.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I attended a workshop in 2019 and was blessed to hear Lisa Nichols speak. At the end of her session I knew I was supposed to write a book.
I haven’t stopped since.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My reading spectrum is very wide and deep. I believe we can learn from all forms of information so I try to read with an open mind.
Dr. Wayne Dyer changed my life when I read his book Change Your Thoughts, and Change Your Life.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
As we enter the year 2020, in a world that seems to be moving exponentially faster with each decade, we struggle more than ever to be relevant, influential, valuable, respected, seen, loved—and stay alive long enough to make it through the finish line. We live in a vast, unlimited Universe, so why do we press ourselves into such small boxes?
Joseph Binning, author of YOU MATTER…Even If You Don’t Think So, knows from personal experience that too many don’t make it to the finish line. Too many are not given the words, the instruction, or the hand we need to make it through. Too many of us do not believe that we really matter. Understanding who we are and what to do with this life we’re living is the hardest thing we’ll ever do. We need more than words—more than knowledge. We need a way to quiet the voices in our heads that make us want to give in. We need a reason strong enough to get to the finish line without quitting. We need a truth powerful enough to lift us out of the darkness.
From a throw-away child to a successful, heart-felt, self-made man, Joseph Binning knows first-hand that our past is not who we are. In fact, who we think we are is rarely who we truly are. It is only through opening our eyes to a new way of seeing—by setting aside our limited thoughts—that we understand, “When I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.”
In his self-discovery guide, YOU MATTER, Joseph takes our hand and leads us through each page of a truth-telling map to find our path—the path within ourselves where we discover the answers. Who am I? Why am I here? Am I worthy of love? How do I create a lasting relationship, work, and meaning in my life? What do I do now, and how do I do it? Joseph teaches us how to discover who we really are—and who we’re not—and how to know, trust, and follow the path in front of us. Most importantly, Joseph leads us to find compassion—for ourselves first, and then for others—to support our renewal, step out of doubt, anxiety, and disbelief, and move toward the finish line in clarity, certainty, and creation.
Taking us beyond 2020 vision, Joseph teaches us to look back only for a moment, to see how far we’ve come, but doesn’t let us stay there or press ourselves back into the box. Revealing the truth that lies within us, YOU MATTER shines the light on our greatness, until we can shine our own light, loving us enough until the day we can love ourselves enough to make it through. Joseph Binning is the voice of 2020 who shouts to each and every one of us, “Don’t give up, because YOU MATTER!…Even If You Don’t Think So. Purposeful
