<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1890396/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>From pyrotechnics at Universal Studios to becoming President of the Awards &amp; Personalization Association (APA) — Justin’s journey is one you don’t hear every day. In this episode of The Riley Black Project, John and Crystal sit down with Justin Varn of Awards4U to talk about growing up in the awards industry, stepping into a family business, and eventually becoming APA President. But the story goes deeper than that. Justin shares the emotional moment when his father presented him with APA Speaker of the Year, making history as the first father and son to both serve as APA President. We also dive into: • What it’s really like taking over a family business • The pressure of being “the owner’s son” and earning respect • His background in live show design and pyrotechnics at Universal Studios Orlando • How entrepreneurship impacts family life • The power of betting on yourself • Balancing business, parenting, and leadership • ADHD, entrepreneurship, and learning differently • How AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming the awards industry • Why embracing AI now will give makers a massive advantage Whether you&apos;re in the laser engraving, awards, maker, or personalization industry, this conversation is packed with insights about leadership, technology, and the mindset required to build something meaningful. And yes… we also talk about kids helping with orders, the chaos of entrepreneurship, and how family businesses really work behind the scenes. <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/TheRileyBlackProject">Support the show</a>If you enjoy our content, consider supporting us on Patreon!!
