JUSTIN WATTS IS A U.S. ARMY COMBAT VETERAN, ENTREPRENEUR, INVESTOR, PODCAST HOST, SPEAKER, AND FOUNDER DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE BUILD PURPOSE, WEALTH, AND LASTING LEGACIES.
After serving more than a decade in the United States Army, including a combat deployment to Afghanistan, Justin Watts experienced the same difficult transition faced by millions of veterans. Navigating the VA system firsthand revealed how many deserving service members were being left behind. Instead of accepting the challenges, Justin committed himself to mastering the process so he could help others receive the benefits they earned through their service.
Recognizing that financial freedom requires more than increased income, Justin created FORGE (Financial Opportunity Resource Growth Engine) to teach veterans and families how to build lasting wealth. Through practical education on investing, real estate, entrepreneurship, budgeting, insurance, and long-term financial planning, FORGE equips individuals with the knowledge needed to create financial independence and generational prosperity.
Justin also hosts The Justin Watts Show, where he sits down with entrepreneurs, veterans, investors, financial experts, athletes, and thought leaders to discuss leadership, faith, purpose, business, wealth, and personal growth. Whether mentoring veterans, investing in communities, or speaking on stage, every decision is guided by one belief:
Service doesn't end when the uniform comes off—it simply takes a different form.
"Leave people better than you found them. Because true success isn't measured by what you earn—it's measured by the lives you impact."
