I hope people really catch on to that one at the end and they don't think that when we started like talking there, that we were like wrapping it up completely. You know, certain certain things might be irredeemable, but for the most part, you know, I think a lot of people deserve a chance to get sober and have people be there for them if they're struggling.
Josh's story is one of those tales that grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go.

Growing up in a small town, Josh found himself entangled in trouble with friends and eventually, drugs and alcohol. It was a downward spiral that led him to rock bottom.
But that's not where his story ends—it's where it begins. With the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and a tight-knit community, Josh embarked on a journey to sobriety. He discovered a new purpose in life: fitness. From training for Spartan races to conquering the grueling Ironman, Josh found that physical fitness was more than just a hobby—it was a lifeline.
Throughout the episode, Josh candidly discusses the hurdles he's faced, from injuries to personal setbacks, and the immense satisfaction that comes from pushing his limits. He emphasizes the importance of community in recovery, highlighting how friends and family played a crucial role in his success. Josh also opens up about the tough choices he's had to make to prioritize his sobriety and family life, like skipping social events and dedicating time to his son.
His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of fitness. As Josh puts it, 'Certain things might be irredeemable, but for the most part, I think a lot of people deserve a chance to get sober and have people be there for them if they're struggling.' Tune in to hear Josh's incredible journey and find inspiration in his unwavering determination.
