Episode 93: Time to Talk

There’s a point where self-awareness stops being helpful…

…and starts becoming a loop.

🧠 The Realization

Josh has been showing up.

Consistently. Honestly. Willingly.

And it’s working.

But there’s a problem:

👉 Discovery without direction
👉 Insight without resolution
👉 Progress… without a plan to stabilize it

At some point, you stop uncovering things…

…and start circling them.

⚠️ The Turning Point

So here it is:

It might be time for professional therapy.

Not as a joke.
Not as a throwaway line.

As the next logical step.

Because if you’re going to open things up…

You need somewhere to put them back together.

🐕 The Morning Walk (And Everything That Went Wrong)

And just to keep things grounded…

We’ve got a little chaos.

During a routine morning walk with Indiana—

Things escalated.

Fast.

👉 A dog fight
👉 Real tension
👉 No time to think

The kind of moment that snaps you right out of your head…

and drops you straight into instinct.

🧩 The Theme

This episode lives in that uncomfortable middle ground:

👉 Between awareness and action
👉 Between honesty and overwhelm
👉 Between knowing what’s wrong… and knowing what to do about it

Because recognizing the pattern is step one.

Fixing it?

That’s something else entirely.

🔁 The Format Evolves

This isn’t just goal-setting anymore.

It’s deeper than that now.

And maybe that’s the point.

Episode 92: Scary Stuff

Let’s start with a serious question.

No jokes. No setup.

Just pure, irrational fear:

👉 What’s worse—
Getting blasted by a car horn when you’re not paying attention…

OR

A hand reaching out from under the bed… grabbing your ankle?

Yeah. Sit with that for a second.

😱 Fear, Ranked

Josh dives headfirst into the psychology of fear—the kind that hits before logic has a chance to catch up.

• Sudden noise vs. primal terror

• Startle response vs. full-body panic

• Reality vs. imagination

Because one of those things is real.

The other… shouldn’t be.

And somehow, they land exactly the same.

🚗 The Real-World Anxiety

From imaginary horrors… to a very real problem.

This weekend, Josh is heading to Bloomington.

And there’s just one issue:

No rental cars.

None.

Zero.

Apparently, the entire city has decided to go somewhere else.

🧠 The Spiral

So now we’re doing the math.

What’s the cost of a three-hour Uber ride?

Is that even a thing?

At what point does convenience become insanity?

And how exactly did this become the plan?

🎯 The Theme

This episode lands somewhere between humor and something a little more honest:

👉 The things we fear that don’t exist
👉 The things we should fear that absolutely do
👉 And the strange overlap where both feel equally real

Because whether it’s a hand under the bed…

Or a $400 Uber ride…

Fear doesn’t really care about logic.

Episode 91: We Love You, Portland!

Sometimes you go into a weekend hoping for a decent run…

…and walk away with something a lot bigger.

🌲 Portland, Delivered

Let’s get this out of the way:

Portland showed up.

• Great food

• Great people

• Perfect weather

• And crowds that were all-in

The comedy?
Terrific.

And for anyone still pushing the narrative that “Portland is on fire”…

Yeah—no.

That’s not reality.

🎤 The Unexpected Win

The shows hit.

The energy was there.

The connection came back.

But that’s not the story.

🧠 The Cost of Showing Up

Because something else happened.

Something Josh didn’t exactly plan for:

He cracked open.

Not on stage.

Inside.

⚠️ The Realization

This podcast—this process of showing up honestly, setting goals, following through—it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.

It’s stripping things down.

And what’s underneath?

Not always clean.
Not always comfortable.

But definitely real.

🧩 The Problem Now

When you open something up…

You can’t just leave it that way.

So the question becomes:

👉 How do you put it back together?


👉 How do you rebuild without pretending nothing happened?


👉 How do you stay authentic without staying exposed?

🧑‍⚕️ The Next Step (For Real This Time?)

Josh has floated it before.

Half-joked about it.

Pushed it off.

But now?

Therapy is back on the table.

And this time… it doesn’t sound like a throwaway line.

It sounds like a decision.

🔁 The Format Doing Its Job (Again)

• Show up

• Be honest

• See what happens

And sometimes what happens…

Is bigger than the goal you started with.

Clean Slate

Okay... it was a busy week. Lots of travel... Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Portland... no excuses, just an explanation for why the whole "I'm gonna theme out each week" business didn't really happen. YET!

Josh DID hit several of his goals for the week, he just needs to focus on one thing: MAKE THE LIST.

It'll happen. This is about small steps, measurable progress, showing up every day.

Episode 89: The Rollercoaster

Not the fun kind.

Not the one with seatbelts and a line out front.

This is the kind you don’t choose…
the emotional one.

🇲🇽 The Stories First…

Because of course it starts with Mexico.

A trip that delivered:

• Some legitimately funny moments

• A little chaos

• Partial hearing loss

• And… a near-death experience

You know—standard vacation stuff.

🎢 The Shift

But then the episode pivots.

Hard.

Because underneath the stories… there’s something else Josh has been noticing.

Something this podcast has forced him to confront.

🧠 The Realization

The swings.

• High highs

• Low lows

• And not much in between

The kind of emotional volatility that feels great when you’re up…

…and brutal when you’re not.

⚠️ The Truth

This isn’t new.

But for the first time, it’s being acknowledged clearly.

Not joked away.
Not brushed off.

Just… faced.

Because once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.

🛠️ The Question

So now what?

Can it be managed?
Regulated?
Understood?

Or is this just “how it is”?

🧑‍⚕️ The Next Step

For the first time, Josh says it out loud:

Maybe it’s time for professional help.

Not as a last resort.

But as a next step.

And that matters.

Because willingness is the hardest part.

🔁 The Format Doing Its Job

This is what the podcast is becoming:

Not just goals…

But self-awareness.

And sometimes, that’s a lot heavier than checking a box.

Episode 88: You Are What You Eat

Some lessons hit harder the morning after.

And this one came wrapped in candy wrappers… and regret.

🍫 The Reality Check

Late night. Hotel room. No plan.

Just:

• Candy bars

• Potato chips

• And the quiet confidence that this is a bad idea… ignored

We’ve all been there.

Josh definitely has.

And now?
Yeah… he’s feeling it.

🧠 The Takeaway

This isn’t about one bad night.

It’s about a pattern.

Because what you eat—especially when no one’s watching—starts to tell the truth.

👉 Discipline vs. impulse


👉 Awareness vs. autopilot


👉 Intent vs. habit

And sometimes it takes a rough morning to make that crystal clear.

📓 The New Goal

So here it is:

Food journaling.

Not casually.
Not privately.

But consistently—and shared with you.

Because accountability changes everything.

And if this podcast is doing anything right…

It’s forcing real follow-through.

🔁 The Format Keeps Working

• Set the goal

• Live it (or don’t)

• Report back honestly

No spin. No pretending.

Just progress—or the lack of it.

🍽️ The Debate

Let’s switch gears.

Josh wants to know:

Can you tell if someone is a good tipper just by looking at them?

Be honest.

We all think we can.

But are we right?

Well…

That’s one goal officially checked off the list.

And not just checked off—crushed.

Josh hit the stage at The Roxy Theatre…

And he killed.

The set?
Locked in.
Confident.
Alive again.

The kind of performance that reminds you exactly why you started doing this in the first place.

Because the real headline isn’t the set.

It’s what wasn’t there.

No hat.

For the first time—ever.

This wasn’t a style choice.

This was decades in the making.

A fear. A crutch. A layer of protection that had quietly become part of the identity.

And on this night…

He let it go.

Walked on stage without it.
Stayed without it.
Performed without it.

No safety net.

No fallback.

Just him.

The set going well?

That’s great.

But this?

This is different.

Because this wasn’t about being funny.

It was about being free.

Josh credits this podcast.

The process. The accountability. The willingness to say things out loud and then actually follow through.

That’s what got him there.

• Monday: Set the goal → Find the fun again
• Friday: Deliver the result → Done

But the twist?

The goal wasn’t just met.

It evolved into something bigger.

Now the question becomes:

Was this a moment…

Or a turning point?

Episode 86: Find the Fun Again

New week. New format.

Mondays are now for goal setting.
Fridays? That’s where we find out if any of it actually stuck.

No hiding. No spin. Just progress—or the lack of it.

🎯 This Week’s Goal

It sounds simple.

It’s not.

Find the fun again.

🎤 The Problem

There was a time when Josh could go 90 minutes on stage and still want more.

Now?

Thirty minutes in… and something shifts.

Not burnout exactly.
Not failure.

Just… disconnect.

That feeling when you’re doing the thing you love—but it’s not hitting the same way anymore.

🧠 The Reality

This isn’t about stand-up.

It’s about something bigger:

👉 What happens when passion starts to feel like obligation
👉 When muscle memory replaces curiosity
👉 When you’re still “good”… but no longer alive in it

And the uncomfortable truth?

Most people never fix that.

They just adjust to it.

✈️ The Test

This weekend: Portland

One of Josh’s favorite cities.

A place where, historically… everything clicks.

So this becomes the proving ground.

Not for the set.
Not for the crowd.

But for the feeling.

🔁 The New Format

• Monday: Set the goal

• Friday: Face the result

No overthinking. No endless analysis.

Just:

Did it work… or didn’t it?

🔜 Friday Check-In

Did he find it?

Did the energy come back?

Or is this something deeper than a bad stretch?

We’ll find out.

Josh had a realization this week—and it wasn’t subtle.

He’s been living his life at about a seven out of ten.

Not failing. Not falling apart. Just… not pushing.
In the gym. In his work. Even on this podcast.

And once you see that pattern, you can’t unsee it.

Because seven-out-of-tenning it is comfortable. It’s safe. It’s just good enough to avoid real consequences—but never good enough to create real momentum. It’s the space where effort gets negotiated, where potential gets managed instead of maximized.

And Josh knows it’s not new.

It’s a lifelong pattern.

The difference now? He’s actually calling it out—and more importantly, he’s done with it.

No big speech. No overnight transformation. Just awareness… and a decision to stop coasting. To push harder. To show up differently. To close that gap between what he’s capable of and what he’s been settling for.

And yeah—you’re going to watch it happen in real time.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Finding Me without a little chaos on the side.

Josh also officially hits his breaking point with the Red Sox. Years of loyalty… gone. Over it. Done. Which raises a very real question:

If you’re leaving your team… where do you go?

Is there such a thing as a “clean break” in sports fandom? Or are you just carrying the same emotional baggage into a new jersey?

Because sometimes growth starts with a simple, uncomfortable truth:
you’ve been holding back… and you don’t want to anymore.

The diagnosis was yesterday.
Today… it lingers.

Josh woke up still stuck in it—the quiet weight of what the cardiologist said, replaying in the background like a line you can’t un-hear. Hypertension. Not a crisis, but not nothing either. The kind of news that doesn’t stop your life… it just changes how you move through it.

And suddenly, everything feels like a question.

Is it safe to work out?
If he pushes too hard—like he always does—what actually happens?
Is this something you manage… or something that manages you?

Because when it comes to your heart, there’s no such thing as casual curiosity. The stakes feel higher, even if the reality hasn’t changed overnight.

So Josh does what most people do when they don’t have enough information—he fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. The mind goes there fast. Faster than logic. Faster than reassurance.

Which is why he decides to pause. Not stop—just pause. Ease off the gas. Trade intensity for moderation. A little stretching at the gym instead of pushing to the limit. Not out of fear exactly… but out of respect for what he doesn’t fully understand yet.

And that’s the tension of this episode:

What do you do in the space between knowing something’s wrong… and knowing what to do about it?

Of course, because it’s Josh, the conversation doesn’t stay heavy the whole time.

It drifts—unexpectedly—back to an old radio show he used to host. A place where fake callers would come on and say the most absurd things imaginable. “Blind people don’t exist” somehow making it to air without anyone blinking.

Which leads—naturally—to a completely unhinged but weirdly fascinating question:

If you could fake any condition… just for a day… what would it be?

It’s ridiculous. It’s inappropriate. It’s exactly the kind of left turn that makes sense when your brain is trying to escape something real.

Because that’s what this episode really is:

The fallout.

Not the diagnosis itself—but the ripple effect. The overthinking. The humor. The uncertainty. The attempt to regain control in a situation that suddenly feels a little less predictable.

Josh got some news today that hit harder than expected: hypertension.

Not dramatic. Not cinematic. Just a quiet, clinical diagnosis delivered in a cardiologist’s office—the kind that doesn’t knock you down, but lingers long after you leave. Because that’s the thing about it… high blood pressure doesn’t feel urgent. It doesn’t demand attention. It just sits there, doing its work in silence.

And yeah—it got to him.

Because when you’re living your life, doing your thing, feeling mostly fine… you don’t expect to be reminded how fragile all of this actually is. One appointment, one reading, and suddenly you’re rethinking everything—your habits, your choices, your late-night decisions that felt harmless at the time.

So naturally, Josh spirals a little.
Should he have eaten the fries? Had the pizza? Taken the tequila when it was offered? Or is that the whole point—that we never really know where the line is until someone draws it for us?

But here’s the flip side—and it matters:

Now he knows.

And knowing isn’t nothing. It’s the difference between drifting and deciding. Between ignoring and adjusting. Between pretending you’re fine… and actually doing something about it.

Today’s episode is honest, a little unsettled, and very real. Because sometimes growth doesn’t come from clarity—it comes from getting shaken just enough to start paying attention.

Episode 82: The Mystery Beep

There’s a sound in the house. No one knows where it’s coming from. And somehow… this becomes Josh’s moment.

Today’s episode starts with a mystery:
A random, persistent beep echoing through the house like a low-budget horror film. No clear source. No obvious fix. Just enough annoyance to force action.

And that action… falls to Josh.

🛠️ A Rare Display of Competence

Let’s be clear:
Josh is not what you’d call “handy.”

He’s not building shelves.
He’s not rewiring anything.
And if a project involves more than one tool, things are already going sideways.

But today?
Today required a ladder… and a screwdriver.

And against all odds—he pulled it off.

Successfully.

Completely.

No injuries. No structural damage. No emergency calls.

Which means, naturally, he reminded Beth about it approximately one million times.

💪 Strength vs. Skill

Josh breaks down the difference between being useful… and being handy.

• Need something heavy lifted? He’s your guy.

• Need a trench dug? Done.

• Need something actually built? …let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

This episode leans into that familiar realization:
Just because you’re willing to help doesn’t mean you’re equipped to fix the problem.

And yet—sometimes—you surprise yourself.

🏕️ Survival… With Conditions

Josh also explores his theoretical survival skills.

Could he make it in the wild?

Sure. Probably.

As long as:

• There’s some kind of shelter

• Preferably walls

• And ideally… a bed

So not exactly “survival” in the traditional sense—but let’s call it survival-adjacent.

😂 The Real Victory

In the end, this isn’t about fixing the beep.

It’s about the rare, fleeting moment where Josh proves—mostly to himself—that he can figure something out… even if it requires tools, balance, and mild bravery.

And yes, Beth heard about it. Repeatedly.

🎧 In This Episode

• The saga of The Mystery Beep

• Josh vs. basic home maintenance

• The fine line between strong and actually useful

• Why ladders instantly raise the stakes

• A survival plan that absolutely includes indoor accommodations

I Can’t Put My Finger On It (…that sounds dirty but it's not)

Something’s off.

Not in a dramatic, everything-is-falling-apart kind of way. Not even in a way that’s easy to explain. But enough that it’s there… lingering, poking at the edges, refusing to be ignored.

Today, Josh gets honest about a feeling he can’t quite define—but also can’t shake.

Because on paper?

Everything’s good.
Great, even.

He loves his life.
He loves his family.
He’s proud of the work he’s doing and fully aware of how lucky he is to be doing it.

And yet…

Something isn’t clicking.

Is it work?
Creativity?
Burnout disguised as boredom?
Or just one of those moments where growth demands a shift before you’re ready to define it?

This isn’t a breakdown.

It’s something quieter—and in some ways, more uncomfortable.

Because uncertainty doesn’t come with a clear fix. It doesn’t announce itself. It just sits there… until you decide to do something about it.

And Josh is very clear about one thing:

He’s not going to sit in it.

🔥 On This Episode:

• The frustration of not being able to name what’s wrong

• When “everything is good” still doesn’t feel right

• Creativity, work, and the pressure to stay fulfilled

• The difference between gratitude… and honesty

• Why sitting in uncertainty isn’t the plan

Writer’s block.

It’s frustrating. It’s stubborn. And if you’ve ever dealt with it, you know it doesn’t care how badly you want to create.

In this episode, Josh Wolf sits right in the middle of that feeling — the stuckness, the resistance, the sense that nothing’s clicking no matter how hard you push.

Because the truth is… there’s no shortcut out.

The only way through it…

is through it.

Showing up. Sitting with it. Pushing anyway, even when nothing feels right.

But then something shifts.

Not because you forced it — but because inspiration has a way of showing up when you least expect it.

For Josh, that spark came in an unexpected form: a new comedy competition show filled with raw, hungry, undeniable talent. Comics taking risks. Finding their voices. Going for it.

And watching that?

It hit something.

Because sometimes the thing that pulls you out of your own head… is seeing someone else step fully into theirs.

It’s a reminder.

That creativity isn’t gone.
It’s just waiting.

Waiting to be challenged.
Waiting to be sparked.
Waiting to be earned again.

This episode is about that moment — the pivot from frustration to momentum. The realization that even when you feel stuck, you’re still in it. Still moving. Still capable of finding your way back.

Because writer’s block isn’t the end of anything.

It’s part of the process.

And sometimes…

It’s exactly what you need to get to the next thing.

🔥 On This Episode:

• The reality of writer’s block (and why it happens)

• Why pushing through matters more than waiting for inspiration

• The unexpected power of watching other creatives

• Finding motivation in new talent and fresh perspectives

• The mindset shift from stuck… to moving forward

What does it actually mean to be… authentic?

In this episode, Josh Wolf takes on a question that sounds simple until you try to answer it honestly. Because authenticity isn’t a fixed idea — it shifts depending on who you are, where you are, and what you’re willing to reveal.

For Josh, that question hits right at the center of his work.

Is his voice rooted in storytelling?
Is it sharper… edgier… more provocative?
Or is it something lighter — something built to connect, to entertain, to keep things moving?

And more importantly…

Can it be all of those things at once?

This episode lives in that tension. The space between who you’ve been, who people expect you to be, and who you’re still figuring out in real time. Josh reflects on his comedy, his instincts on stage, and the subtle pressure to define himself in a way that feels both honest and consistent.

But authenticity doesn’t always feel good.

It’s uncertain.
It’s uncomfortable.
And it forces you to strip away the parts that don’t belong — even when they’ve been working.

That’s what makes it scary.

And necessary.

Because whether you’re on stage, behind a mic, or just trying to figure out your next move… the question isn’t what people want from you.

It’s what actually feels true.

And that answer?

It’s different for everyone.

🔥 On This Episode:

• What “authenticity” really means (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all)

• The evolution of a comedic voice

• Storytelling vs. edge vs. connection

• The pressure to define yourself creatively

• Why authenticity is uncomfortable — and why that matters

This week, Josh Wolf checks in with a familiar question… just wearing a different face:

When does a habit become a pattern?

Josh made a real move — he’s off the nicotine pouches. Off the pills. A clean break from something that had quietly become part of the daily routine. That’s not nothing.

But then… he smoked weed again.

And that’s where it gets interesting.

Because the question isn’t really about weed. Or nicotine. Or anything specific. It’s about behavior. The cycle. The way one thing leaves and something else has a way of stepping in to fill the space.

Is that addiction?
Is it coping?
Is it just being human?

Josh doesn’t pretend to have the answer — but he’s asking the question honestly, and that’s the whole point of the show.

And then there’s a different kind of decision.

After a show, there’s always the option to stay out, chase the moment, chase the noise, chase whatever comes next. But this time, Josh didn’t.

He came home.

To Beth.
To Indiana Jones.
And to this.

And that choice feels just as important as anything else in the episode.

Because while habits can pull you in a hundred directions… clarity tends to pull you in one.

And right now, things are clear.

His relationship with Beth is in a really good place. Not perfect — nothing real ever is — but solid. Grounded. Built on something that doesn’t disappear the moment things get hard.

And maybe that’s the real takeaway:

You don’t chase everything.
You don’t fix everything overnight.
You don’t always get it right.

But you stay.

You ride out the difficult parts.
You remember why you chose it in the first place.
And you keep showing up.

This week, Josh Wolf looks backward… to figure out what’s next.

There was a time when daily writing — reacting to current events, breaking down the news, finding the joke in real time — fueled everything. It sharpened his instincts. It unlocked creativity. It made the rest of the work easier.

And now?

He’s thinking about going back.

Not out of nostalgia — out of necessity.

Because sometimes the thing that worked before… still works. You just stopped doing it.

So consider this a “stay tuned” moment. A possible return to form. A reset that might spark something bigger.

And then, because no episode is complete without a little chaos…

Josh and Jacob hit an F1 arcade for what should have been a fun afternoon — and instead turned into a full-blown, highly competitive showdown. Accusations were made. Integrity was questioned. Lines were crossed.

Josh won.

Jacob… disagreed with the legitimacy of that victory.

Competition brings out the best in us. And sometimes the worst.

But mostly?

It’s just more fun when dad wins.

It finally happened.

Josh missed an episode.

And yeah… it’s frustrating. It’s annoying. It’s the kind of slip that immediately triggers that voice in your head — the one that wants to rewind, overanalyze, and beat you up for dropping the ball.

But here’s the real question:

What do you do next?

Do you spiral?
Do you make it mean something bigger than it is?
Do you let one mistake derail everything?

Or…

Do you take the hit, own it, learn from it — and move on?

This episode is about that moment. The one where you realize progress isn’t linear. Where it’s not always forward momentum. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s a step forward… followed by two steps back.

And that’s okay.

You can be a little annoyed at yourself. You probably should be. But you don’t stay there.

Because the truth is simple:

It’s a new day.

And every moment is another chance to reset, refocus, and get back to work.

No drama. No excuses. Just forward.

This episode is grounded in something simple… and rare.

Josh spent the day in Los Angeles with his parents — and walked away with a deep sense of gratitude. They’re getting older, sure… but they’re healthy, present, and fully themselves. And that realization hits differently when you stop long enough to actually see it.

It’s a reminder that not everything in life is complicated.
Some things are just… good.

At the same time, Josh checks in on his own health — including a visit to his cardiologist that delivers a pretty blunt truth:

All that caffeine and nicotine supplementation?

Yeah… it’s basically low-grade speed running through your system all day.

The good news: he’s otherwise in great shape.
The better news: awareness changes behavior.

And then there’s the show itself.

Finding Me is evolving.

More structure.
More focus.
More intention.

And ultimately… more Josh.

Because at the core of all of this — the conversations, the chaos, the reflection — is someone trying to figure it out in real time… and letting you watch.

This one goes… everywhere.

Josh is all over the map today — bouncing from thought to thought, half-finished ideas, random observations — but underneath it all, there’s one clear thing: Beth is home, and he’s happy.

From there, the conversation drifts (as it does) into something unexpectedly big:

What will humans even look like in a million years?

Smarter? Unrecognizable? Gone entirely?

And somewhere in that spiral, Josh lands on a realization that hits harder than it probably should:

We’re insignificant.

Not in a depressing way — in a freeing way.

Because if none of this really matters on that scale… then why are we so afraid all the time? Afraid to say things, try things, be ourselves?

Maybe the move is the opposite.

Maybe the move is to be fearless.

To stop overthinking.
To stop shrinking.
To stop pretending any of this is permanent.

And yeah… that mushroom trip?

It clearly shook something loose. In a good way.

This episode is messy, thoughtful, a little scattered — and somehow lands exactly where it needs to.

What started as a simple, harmless conversation between friends… didn’t stay that way.

In this episode, Josh Wolf breaks down how a light, familiar exchange — the kind of ball-breaking that usually means nothing — spiraled into something louder, sharper, and way more public than it ever needed to be.

Because that’s the internet.

A place where tone gets lost.
Where context disappears.
And where people are always ready to be angry — even when the moment doesn’t deserve it.

And here’s the thing…

There are real reasons to be outraged right now. The world isn’t exactly lacking in things that matter. Which makes it even stranger — and maybe a little sad — how quickly we turn on each other over nothing.

This episode is about recognizing that shift.
About stepping back before everything becomes a fight.
And about asking a simple question:

Why are we choosing anger… when we could be choosing something better?

Because at some point, you have to decide what’s worth your energy.

And what’s not.

In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, maybe the real work is quieter — carving out your own peace, your own space, your own version of happiness… and protecting it.

Even from the noise.

Today, Josh Wolf sits with something that’s been quietly building for a while: a growing sense that something in his professional life feels… off.

It’s not burnout.
It’s not unhappiness.
It’s not even boredom, exactly.

It’s just that strange feeling when the thing you’ve worked so hard to build suddenly feels a little out of alignment.

So what do you do when life looks fine on paper… but something underneath doesn’t feel right?

For Josh, that question has led to a bigger one:

Maybe it’s time for a break.

A real one. A long vacation. A reset. Time to step back, breathe, and reassess what comes next.

Today’s episode is an honest conversation about listening to your instincts, trusting discomfort, and giving yourself permission to admit when something needs to change — even if you don’t know what that change looks like yet.

Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do… is pause.

This week, Josh Wolf checks in with a simple but hard-earned realization:

He’s done chasing relationships.

If someone doesn’t want to spend time with him, that’s okay. No more bending over backwards. No more sacrificing other friendships, time, or self-respect just to convince someone to care.

It sounds obvious on paper. For some people, it probably is.

But for anyone who’s ever overextended themselves trying to be liked… trying to earn a seat at someone else’s table… this one will hit home.

Growth isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s just finally deciding that your dignity matters more than someone else’s approval.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s freeing. And it’s honest:

Not everyone is going to think you’re awesome — and that has to be okay.

A quick episode, but one that says a lot.

This week’s episode is a quick one — and honestly, that’s kind of the point.

Josh has reunited with Beth and escaped to Joshua Tree for a much-needed reset. No early morning walks with Indian. No phones. No noise. Just sleep, stillness, and the rare luxury of doing absolutely nothing.

And for once… no chaos, no spiraling, no existential unraveling.

Just a pause.

(And yes — for those wondering — NO mushrooms on this trip.)

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is stop.

Episode 66: The Mushroom Purge

Some experiences stay with you.

Not because they’re fun…

But because they force you to look at things you’ve been avoiding.

🧠 In This Episode:

• Josh opens up about a recent mushroom experience that turned unexpectedly intense

• What started as exploration became something deeper—an emotional purge

• The physical and mental weight of confronting things that had been building under the surface

⚠️ The Realization

Coming out of it, Josh is left with something important:

👉 Clarity

Not about everything—

But enough to recognize that there are patterns and behaviors he doesn’t love.

And maybe hasn’t been fully addressing.

🔁 A Familiar Pattern

This isn’t the first time.

Josh reflects on similar moments in his past—times where something inside him needed to be released, processed, or confronted.

He describes it as:

👉 Absorbing negative energy… and eventually needing to let it go

Whether that’s real, psychological, or something in between—

The feeling is undeniable.

🛋️ The Question

So what now?

Josh starts considering something he hasn’t leaned into in a while:

👉 Therapy

Not as a last resort.

But as a tool.

A way to take what surfaced—and actually do something with it.

🎯 The Takeaway

Growth doesn’t always feel good.

Sometimes it’s uncomfortable.
Sometimes it’s draining.

But if you’re willing to look at what comes up—

👉 That’s where the real work begins.

Episode 65: Stranded at O’Hare

Sometimes life hits pause.

Not because you planned it…

But because a lightning storm over Chicago decided it was in charge.

⚡ In This Episode:

• Josh gets stranded at O’Hare Airport during a massive storm

• The strange stillness that comes when travel suddenly stops

• How moments like this force you to slow down—and reflect

✈️ The Bigger Picture

Sitting in an airport, going nowhere fast…

Josh finds himself thinking about something easy to forget:

👉 How lucky he is to live this life

The travel.
The cities.
The people.

All the movement that usually feels routine suddenly feels like a gift.

👖 The Important Question

Of course… there’s also a more immediate concern:

Did he pack the right pants?

Because nothing humbles you faster than being in the wrong outfit in the wrong city at the wrong time.

🧠 The Shift

It’s funny how quickly frustration can turn into gratitude.

One minute you’re stuck.

The next—

You realize you’re only stuck because you were going somewhere great in the first place.

🎯 The Takeaway

Even the delays have something to offer.

A moment to pause.
To reflect.
To recognize what’s actually going right.

Because sometimes being “stuck”…

Is just another way of being reminded how far you’ve come.

Episode 64: What This Show Is… And What It Isn’t

Not every day is profound.

Not every episode is heavy.

And that’s kind of the point.

🎤 In This Episode:

• Josh reflects on conversations with fans in Austin who want more “serious” content

• Why he’s choosing not to turn the show into something performative or manufactured

• The importance of showing up—even on days when there isn’t much to say

🎭 On Comedy (and Controversy)

Josh also talks about the craft.

Specifically, why younger comics should study early stand-up legends—including the early work of Bill Cosby.

Not for who he became later…

But for what those early specials represent:

👉 Timing
👉 Structure
👉 Mastery of the form

Because you can separate the art from the artist—at least when it comes to learning the craft.

✈️ Looking Ahead

Josh is gearing up for his first trip to Toronto—and he’s genuinely excited.

New city.
New crowds.
New energy.

🧠 What This Show Is

It’s:

• Showing up

• Being honest

• Letting things unfold in real time

Not forcing meaning where there isn’t any.

🚫 What This Show Isn’t

It’s not:

• Manufactured drama

• Forced vulnerability

• A performance pretending to be something deeper than it is

Some days are quiet.

Some days are simple.

And those days matter too.

🎯 The Takeaway

You don’t need every day to be life-changing.

You just need to keep showing up.

Because consistency—even on the uneventful days—

Is where the real change happens.

Episode 63: This Is What a Good Day Looks Like

Not every good day is perfect.

But sometimes…

It’s exactly what you needed.

☀️ In This Episode:

• A day in Los Angeles that just felt right

• Spending meaningful time with family—and why that matters more than we admit

• A powerful photo session… with the hat off

📸 The Moment

For Josh, this wasn’t just a photoshoot.

It was a step.

A small but meaningful push past something that’s been sitting there for a while.

And the surprising part?

👉 He felt good.

Confident.

Comfortable.

Like maybe that one step could lead to a few more.

🎰 Also…

A little unexpected win:

Josh made some money on the airport slot machines in Vegas.

Because sometimes the universe throws you a bone.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

Yeah… the world feels chaotic.

Uncertain.
A little off the rails.

But even in the middle of all that—

You can still have a good day.

And maybe more importantly…

👉 You’re allowed to recognize it.

🧠 The Takeaway

A good day isn’t about everything going right.

It’s about:

• Showing up

• Taking a step forward

• Noticing when things actually feel… good

And letting that count.

Episode 62: Indiana Jones

Some relationships don’t just change your life.

They steady it.

In this episode, Josh reflects on the one companion who’s been there through everything—

His best friend:

Indiana Jones.

🐾 In This Episode:

• How Josh met Indiana during the uncertainty of COVID

• Watching him grow—from a young pup into a fully formed personality

• The quiet, constant presence that only a dog can provide

❤️ More Than a Pet

This isn’t just about a dog.

It’s about connection.

About loyalty without conditions.
About companionship without expectation.

And, in Josh’s words—

👉 The realization that Indiana may have saved him just as much as he’s cared for Indiana.

🧠 The Reflection

There’s something grounding about having a presence in your life that:

• Doesn’t judge

• Doesn’t complicate things

• Just shows up… every single day

And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

✂️ Also…

Josh got a major haircut.

You’ll want to see this one.

🎯 The Takeaway

Not everything that changes your life is loud.

Some of the most important relationships…

Are the quiet ones that stay.

Episode 61: Austin Guitar Hero

Austin delivered.

The shows were great.
The energy was real.
And somewhere along the way—

Josh got his guitar back.

Which, in his world, means something even bigger:

👉 The shoulder is (finally) turning a corner.

🎸 In This Episode:

• Why getting back to guitar feels like getting a piece of himself back

• The Austin shows—and what happens when everything just clicks

• The connection between physical recovery and creative momentum

🎤 Comic Brain… or Comic Problem?

Josh takes a hard look at something he’s noticed for years:

Comics obsessing over what other comics are doing on stage.

Why?

Why give it that much energy?

Because at the end of the day—

👉 The only thing you can control is your set.

🪞 The Self Check

Then Josh turns it inward.

And gets honest.

There are areas where he knows he’s slipping:

• He’s not making lists

• He’s not journaling

• He’s not eating the way he knows he should

Nothing dramatic.

Just… off.

🧠 The Shift

But here’s the thing:

Saying it out loud matters.

Because once you acknowledge it—

You’re already moving in the right direction.

Not perfect.

But aware.

And awareness is where change starts.

🎯 The Takeaway

You don’t fix your life all at once.

You fix it by noticing what’s off…

And deciding to do something about it.

Even if it starts with just saying it out loud.

Josh went to Austin.

One of the best food cities in America.

And decided… to fast.

Because of course he did.

• Why Josh chose to fast in Austin of all places—and how it actually paid off
• Feeling sharper, more focused, and more present during multiple podcast appearances
• Whether fasting before performances might become part of his routine

Sometimes the thing that sounds the most counterintuitive…

Is exactly what works.

Instead of indulging, Josh pulled back—and found:

• More clarity
• More energy
• Better performance

Which raises the question:

👉 Is less… actually more?

• The curiosity around testosterone optimization and what it can (and can’t) realistically do
• The tendency to go all-in on everything—including getting high

Edibles take time.

Josh does not like waiting.

Which leads to a familiar pattern:

Take a little…
Nothing happens…
Take more…
…and suddenly you’re way past where you meant to be.

It’s funny—but also something he’s starting to take a harder look at.

Whether it’s food, fasting, or anything else…

The real challenge isn’t starting.

It’s finding balance.

And knowing when “more” stops helping.

Episode 59: Find the Time

There’s a version of health and fitness that feels impossible.

Too strict.
Too time-consuming.
Too perfect.

Josh isn’t interested in that version.

In this episode, he breaks it down simply:

Find the time.
Do what works.
And stop pretending it has to be all or nothing.

💪 In This Episode:

• Josh’s real-world approach to diet and exercise

• Why 15 minutes is enough if that’s all you’ve got

• Eating for how you feel, sleep, and perform

• The balance between discipline and actually enjoying your life

🍔 The Rule (According to Josh)

Eat what makes you feel good.

But also—

Eat the chocolate.
Have the burger.

Just not all the time.

Because sustainability beats perfection.

🏃‍♂️ Cardio… Or Something Like It

Josh is not a cardio guy.

So he doesn’t do it.

Instead, he lifts weights at a faster pace—turning strength training into a cardio workout.

Because the goal isn’t to follow someone else’s plan.

It’s to find something you’ll actually do.

✈️ Also…

Josh is heading to Austin this weekend—and he’s fired up about it.

Because Austin isn’t just another stop.

It’s one of the great American cities.

🎯 The Takeaway

You don’t need the perfect plan.

You need a plan you’ll stick to.

Even if it’s 15 minutes.
Even if it’s not perfect.

Especially then.

Episode 58: It’s Okay to Be Proud of Yourself

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned to downplay our wins.

To brush them off.
To move past them too quickly.
To act like they don’t count unless they’re big enough, loud enough, or validated by someone else.

In this episode, Josh pushes back on that.

Because sometimes the most important victories are the quiet ones.

And they deserve to be recognized.

🎭 In This Episode:

• Josh reflects on his recent audition and what it means to show up prepared

• Why it’s okay—and necessary—to feel proud of yourself

• The power of acknowledging small wins (especially the small ones)

• How momentum is built through consistent effort, not giant leaps

🎬 Also This Week…

Josh talks about a new TV show that hit him harder than expected.

The kind of show that sneaks up on you… and then suddenly, you’re feeling everything.

And it sparks a bigger realization:

How incredible it is to still be moved by storytelling.

Even now.
Even in the streaming era.

Maybe especially now.

🧠 The Takeaway

Gratitude isn’t just about the big moments.

It’s about recognizing:

• The effort

• The progress

• The fact that you showed up at all

Because that’s where the real growth lives.

Episode 57: The Audition

There’s a strange confidence that comes from stepping back.

In this episode, Josh heads into a big audition—and realizes something unexpected:

He might be a better actor now than he’s ever been.

Not despite the time away…
But because of it.

Less pressure.
Less noise.
More truth.

And maybe that’s what good acting actually is.

🎭 In This Episode:

• Josh prepares for a major audition and reflects on returning to acting after time away

• Why stepping back can sometimes make you sharper, not rustier

• The difference between performing… and just being present

😂 Also Somehow Covered:

• A deeply unnecessary—but fully committed—conversation about
👉 which U.S. state names sound funniest in a very immature context

You’ll never hear geography the same way again.

💪 And Then There’s the Shoulder…

Josh gives an update on the shoulder.

It’s still not right.

Which leads to the question:

👉 Is it time to finally consider surgery?

Or is this just one more thing to push through?

🎯 The Takeaway

Growth doesn’t always look like grinding.

Sometimes it looks like stepping away…
And coming back better.

Sometimes you don’t realize the impact you’re having… until someone tells you.

In this episode, Josh shares a powerful moment with a fan—someone who recently reconnected with their estranged father. And here’s the part that stopped him:

They said Finding Me played a role in making that happen.

That this show… these daily check-ins, the honesty, the commitment to showing up… helped push them toward something better.

And for Josh, that’s the whole point.

Not perfection.
Not performance.
Just progress.

• A moving story about reconnection, forgiveness, and second chances
• Josh reflects on the real-world impact of showing up every day
• Why consistency matters more than motivation
• And a very important, deeply confusing realization:

Josh wore shorts.

Not at the beach.
Not at a pool.

Somewhere else.

Which raises the obvious question…

What is happening to his life?

You never know who’s listening.

You never know what something small—something consistent—might unlock for someone else.

In Episode 55 of Finding Me, Josh leans into a simple idea that turns out to be anything but simple:

See things through.

Whether it’s a commitment you made to yourself or a promise you made to someone else, Josh talks about the importance of keeping your word—even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or just plain hard.

Because showing up consistently isn’t just about discipline.

It’s about trust.

Trust in yourself.
Trust from other people.
And the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you don’t quit when things get tough.

Josh reflects on how this daily show has become a real-world example of that mindset—proof that small, consistent effort can start to shape bigger changes in your life.

But of course… there’s also the reality of getting older.

And with that comes a question Josh—and honestly, all of us—eventually asks:

Why does everything start hurting after fifty?

No injury.
No clear reason.
Just random aches showing up like uninvited guests.

Josh brings his signature humor to the topic, pointing out the strange reality of waking up sore from… sleeping. Or pulling something by simply existing.

It’s funny. It’s frustrating. And it’s incredibly relatable.

In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh makes a big announcement:

The show is officially expanding to a larger audience.

That means listeners—and now viewers—can watch Finding Me on YouTube, bringing this daily journal into a more visual, more connected space. If you’re already subscribed to Hey Maaan with Josh and Jacob Wolf, you’re all set—nothing to do but keep showing up.

For Josh, this is a meaningful step. What started as a personal, almost private exercise in reflection is now becoming something bigger… something shared.

And that shift raises the question he’s been wrestling with all along:

Can something stay authentic once more people are watching?

The episode also takes a turn into a moment Josh recently witnessed on a flight back east.

A strange, unexpectedly confrontational interaction between passengers that carried an uncomfortable edge—one that felt, at times, mildly racist.

It’s the kind of moment that leaves you thinking long after it’s over.

What exactly happened?
Was it intentional?
Was it misunderstanding… or something more?

Josh breaks it down and invites listeners to do what this show does best:

Reflect.

Because sometimes it’s not about having the perfect answer—it’s about being willing to sit with the question.

In Episode 53 of Finding Me, Josh checks in from Las Vegas after performing a comedy show on St. Patrick’s Day—a holiday that, as it turns out, is not exactly prime time for comedy clubs.

Because let’s be honest… no one comes to Las Vegas on St. Patrick’s Day to see a comedy show.

The crowd was light.

But the city? The city was very festive.

Josh and Jacob leaned fully into the celebration as they marked Jacob’s birthday in classic Vegas fashion. Good food, good laughs, and the kind of chaotic holiday energy that only Las Vegas can provide.

And here’s the interesting part…

Despite the smaller crowd, Josh says it ended up being one of his best sets.

Why?

He believes it’s because of this show.

The daily practice of sitting down, talking honestly, reflecting on life, and showing up consistently has started to produce some real-world results. Josh feels more grounded on stage, more present, and more connected to his voice as a performer.

In fact, the impact has been so noticeable that Josh has stopped writing in his traditional journal altogether.

This show is the journal now.

It’s where the thoughts go.
It’s where the reflection happens.
And increasingly, it’s becoming a tool that’s shaping his life in real time.

In Episode 52 of Finding Me, Josh takes a moment to reflect on something we’re all doing whether we like it or not:

Getting older.

But here’s the thing—Josh is actually doing a pretty good job of aging with grace.

Sure, there are a few new developments. For example, he now makes little noises when he stands up. Also when he sits down. And occasionally when he bends over to pick something up. But other than the new soundtrack of middle age, life feels… good.

There’s a calm in his life now. A sense of peace. A deeper appreciation for the small things.

But if there’s one thing that truly makes Josh feel old, it’s not his back or his knees.

It’s the age of his kids.

Because somehow—without asking anyone’s permission—they’ve grown up. And Josh could swear that just yesterday they were toddlers running around the house, needing help tying their shoes and asking questions about everything.

Now they’re adults. And time, as always, moved faster than anyone expected.

It’s a thoughtful and funny episode about perspective, family, and the strange realization that aging isn’t always about feeling older—it’s about watching the people you love grow up right in front of you.

In today’s episode, Josh shares a reminder he’s constantly giving himself—don’t let fear of an outcome change who you truly are.

Fear has a funny way of creeping into our decisions. It makes us second-guess ourselves, soften our opinions, hold back our personality, or avoid taking chances altogether. But Josh believes the moment you start letting fear shape your behavior, you stop showing up as the person you’re meant to be.

So the message today—maybe mostly to himself—is simple:

Forget about fear.

Also on this episode:

Josh and Jacob just got back from Georgia, and let’s just say… the food did not disappoint. From the local spots to the late-night eats after shows, the trip turned into a full-on culinary adventure.

We also get an update on Beth, who’s currently in Louisiana directing her latest film and absolutely crushing it on set.

And speaking of celebrations, plans are coming together for Jacob’s upcoming birthday bash, which Josh promises will be memorable… though perhaps not entirely well-organized.

Fear, food, filmmaking, and birthday chaos—just another day on Finding Me.

Today marks a milestone.

For fifty straight weekdays, Josh has kept a promise to himself: show up and record the podcast. No excuses. No skipped days. Whether he’s in an airport, a hotel room, his office, on the couch, in the kitchen, or walking the dog—Josh has hit record and kept the streak alive.

And something interesting has happened along the way.

His life has gotten… better.

There’s something powerful about consistency—about making a small commitment to yourself and honoring it every single day. Fifty days later, Josh feels the momentum, the discipline, and the quiet confidence that comes from simply doing what you said you’d do.

Josh is also riding high for another reason: Thursday night comedy shows. In his opinion, Thursday is the best night of the week to perform. That’s when the real comedy fans come out—the people who want to laugh, who know the rhythm of a live show, and who bring the energy that makes the whole room electric.

And speaking of chaos in public places… Josh shares a moment from the airport that had him cracking up: his friend Jacob absolutely losing his mind as random travelers kept stopping in the middle of the walkway and creating a full-blown human traffic jam. If you’ve ever traveled through an airport, you know exactly the type.

Consistency, comedy crowds, and the universal mystery of people who just… stop walking.

All that and more on Episode 50 of Finding Me.

In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh wrestles with a question that has been sitting quietly in the back of his mind:

Should he share this podcast with his larger audience?

Right now, the show feels small, personal, and honest — almost like a daily conversation with a handful of people who just happened to pull up a chair.

But what happens if that changes?

Would bringing the show to a larger audience help more people consider going on the same journey of reflection and self-discovery?
Or would the attention make the whole thing feel too performative?

Josh talks through the tension between authenticity and exposure, wondering whether expanding the audience might accidentally change the tone that makes the show feel so real in the first place.

Because once you start thinking about the crowd… it’s harder to forget the microphone.

🐶 A Conversation With His Dog (Sort Of)

Josh also shares one of life’s quieter, oddly comforting habits — talking to his dog.

Except… it’s not really talking.

It’s more like communicating.

Dog owners understand the difference. You say things. The dog looks at you. Somehow you both understand exactly what’s happening.

No words required.

🏋️ The Gym… and the Shorts That Revealed Too Much

And then there’s the gym.

Josh describes a recent encounter with a guy whose workout shorts were so tight they left absolutely nothing to the imagination.

You know the type.

The kind of outfit that seems specifically designed to ensure that everyone in the room becomes unwillingly aware of anatomical details they did not ask to see.

There are gym outfits…

…and then there are announcements.

This one was definitely the latter.

Episode 48: Remembering a Friend

⚠️ Content Warning:
This episode includes discussion of suicide and loss. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the United States, you can call or text 988, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, to connect with trained counselors 24/7. You are not alone.

In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh opens up about the memory of a friend he lost to suicide — and a dream that recently brought that friend back into his thoughts in a powerful way.

Dreams can do that sometimes. They pull people from the past into the present for a moment, reminding us how much they meant to us and how deeply their absence is still felt.

Josh reflects on the complicated emotions that come with losing someone this way — the sadness, the unanswered questions, and the strange comfort of those moments when memories resurface unexpectedly.

It’s an honest and heartfelt conversation about grief, friendship, and the way the people we lose continue to live inside our stories.

Remembering the People We’ve Lost

Josh talks about how memories and dreams can reconnect us with people who are no longer here, sometimes years after they’re gone. Those moments can be bittersweet — painful reminders, but also reminders of the joy and connection those friendships once brought.

Loss changes us.
But remembering someone can also be a way of keeping a small part of them with us.

And Then… The Human Comedy of Falling Down

Because life rarely stays in one emotional lane for very long, the conversation eventually shifts into something completely different — one of the great unsolved mysteries of human comedy:

What is the funniest accidental fall in public?

Josh weighs the possibilities:

• Tripping over your own dog

• Slipping on ice

• Missing the last step on a staircase

• The classic curb miscalculation

There’s something about a harmless, unexpected fall that has made people laugh since the beginning of time. Maybe it’s the surprise. Maybe it’s the shared experience.

Or maybe it’s just the universal truth that gravity always wins.

Josh wants to know:

What do you think is the funniest accidental fall?

In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh takes a hard look at something many of us do every day without even realizing it — talking negatively to ourselves.

Not out loud, of course.
But in that quiet, running commentary inside our heads.

You know the voice.

The one that says you should’ve done better…
that you’re not good enough…
that everyone else has things figured out except you.

Josh admits he’s caught himself doing it more often than he’d like — criticizing himself in ways he would never speak to another human being. And it raises an important question:

If we wouldn’t say these things to someone we love…
why do we say them to ourselves?

🧠 The Problem With Negative Self-Talk

Josh reflects on how even a small amount of negative self-talk can quietly chip away at confidence, happiness, and motivation.

Because that internal voice is always listening.

And if the message it hears over and over again is negative, eventually it starts to believe it.

So today’s reminder is simple:
Notice it. Catch it. And try to stop it.

Or at least don’t let it run the whole show.

👨‍👩‍👦 Gratitude and Perspective

From there, the conversation turns to something Josh has been thinking about a lot lately: gratitude for family.

He talks about how lucky he feels to still have his parents in his life and how meaningful it is to spend time together — something that becomes more valuable the older we get.

It’s the kind of perspective that sneaks up on you.

When you’re younger, you assume those moments will always be there.

Then one day you realize… they won’t.

😂 Why Josh Would Never Go Back to His 20s

Josh also tackles a topic that surprises some people: he has zero interest in going back to his twenties.

Not even a little.

Sure, you might have more energy and fewer responsibilities — but you also have something else:

confidence without experience.

In other words…

Twenty-year-olds are confidently stupid.

And while that confidence can be entertaining, it’s not something Josh is eager to relive.

These days, he’ll take perspective, family, and a little wisdom over youthful certainty any day of the week.

Facts.

Sometimes perspective comes from a book.
Sometimes it comes from a conversation.

And sometimes… it comes from eating a few mushrooms and watching a Netflix documentary about dinosaurs.

In this episode of Finding Me, Josh shares the moment he had what can only be described as a cosmic realization while watching a documentary about prehistoric life. As the scale of time started to sink in — millions upon millions of years — something clicked.

Dinosaurs ruled this planet for over 160 million years.

Humans? We’ve barely been here for a blink.

Josh talks about how that realization hit him in a surprisingly freeing way. If our time here is so incredibly short compared to the vast sweep of Earth’s history… why do we let so many small things ruin our day?

Why hold on to stress, resentment, or fear when the truth is that we’re all just temporary visitors on a very old rock floating through space?

Instead of worrying about every little problem, Josh makes the case for a different approach:

• Accept how small we really are in the grand scheme of things

• Stop letting trivial frustrations dominate our lives

• Use the limited time we have to create moments worth remembering

Because if dinosaurs could dominate the planet for millions of years and still disappear…

we might want to make the most of the time we’ve got.

Josh’s takeaway is simple, but powerful:

Don’t waste your time here.

Laugh more.
Take chances.
Do things that matter to you.
Create memories that make the whole ride worthwhile.

We may not be here very long… but that doesn’t mean the time can’t be incredible.

Episode 45: Finding the Rhythm

Comedy changes over time — especially when the comedian does.

In this episode of Finding Me, Josh reflects on how his style on stage has evolved over the course of his career. Early on, his comedy was big, loud, and wildly animated. Sometimes… a little too animated. It worked, it got laughs, but it also came from a place of trying to prove something.

These days, the energy is different.

Josh talks about how he’s become calmer and more comfortable on stage. The pacing is more natural, the confidence is deeper, and the performance isn’t about pushing as hard as possible anymore. That said — if the moment calls for it — he can still crank the energy right back up.

Because sometimes the joke needs it.

Josh also talks about the parts of comedy that bring him the most joy today:

• Interacting with the audience and letting the show evolve in real time

• Playing guitar on stage, blending music and comedy in ways that keep things fresh

• Finding the rhythm of a crowd and following where the laughs lead

But the moment that means the most to him now happens when he’s not alone on stage.

Performing alongside his son, Jacob has become one of the most meaningful parts of Josh’s career. Sharing that experience — the jokes, the music, the crowd, and the chaos of live comedy — has added a whole new layer to what performing means.

Because sometimes the best part of the show isn’t the laughs.

It’s who you get to share them with.

Episode 44: Must Love Dogs

In this episode of Finding Me, Josh starts down one path and—like most great conversations—ends up somewhere completely different.

It begins with stories about some of the dogs he’s owned through the years. The loyal ones. The ridiculous ones. The dogs that behaved like saints… and the ones that behaved like tiny, furry criminals. Along the way, Josh reflects on the strange and wonderful bond between humans and dogs, and why those relationships tend to stick with us long after the chew toys are gone.

Then the conversation shifts to someone who has become a surprisingly important part of Josh’s life: his personal trainer. Josh talks about the motivation, accountability, and unexpected friendship that can develop when someone is responsible for pushing you to be better—especially when you’d much rather be sitting on the couch.

But somewhere between dogs, workouts, and life lessons… Josh loses the thread completely.

Which, honestly, might be the most honest part of the whole episode.

It’s a funny, wandering, and very human conversation about memory, aging, loyalty, discipline, and the small moments that end up meaning the most.

The Other Part of My Life

Today’s episode is equal parts ego check, biohacking enthusiasm, and pure joy.

Josh opens with a thought experiment that isn’t really a joke: he’d be totally fine if his wife Beth became the sole breadwinner.

Not in a “I give up” way.

In a “why is my identity tied to this in the first place?” way.

He unpacks what masculinity, contribution, and partnership actually mean when you strip away outdated expectations. If Beth’s crushing it and carrying the financial load? Great. Josh is secure enough to cheer her on — and maybe perfect his cappuccino game while he’s at it.

Speaking of optimization…

Josh is officially obsessed with his new OURA Ring.

Sleep tracking. REM cycles. Deep sleep percentages. HRV scores. The thrill of waking up and immediately checking whether you “won” the night.

In this episode, he dives into:

    •    Why sleep might be the most underrated mental health tool

    •    The fine line between tracking for awareness and tracking for control

    •    How better sleep is quietly improving his patience and clarity

But the real excitement?

Next weekend he gets to see the grandkids.

And that anticipation — that pure, uncomplicated joy — reframes everything else. Work. Metrics. Roles. Identity. All of it shrinks a little when you’re looking forward to sticky hugs and chaotic living room energy.

Somewhere between cappuccino foam art and sleep data, Josh lands on a bigger realization.

The big revelation at the end?

Peace isn’t about control.

It’s about alignment.

Alignment with your partner.

With your habits.

With what actually matters.

And maybe adulthood is just slowly figuring out what deserves your energy — and what doesn’t.

Offline (And Owning the Elevator)

Today, Josh talks about something simple — and surprisingly powerful.

He stayed off social media for an entire day.

No scrolling.

No posting.

No checking.

No background noise.

What he found instead was something that feels almost old-fashioned now: real connection. Long, casual phone conversations. Time with family. Space to think without the constant pull of notifications. The kind of quiet that doesn’t feel empty — it feels like a recharge.

In this episode, Josh reflects on:

    •    What happens when you step away from the constant digital feed

    •    How social media quietly fragments attention and energy

    •    The unexpected peace that comes from being fully present

    •    Why real conversations — the kind without a timer or a comment section — still matter

Because sometimes the fastest way to feel more connected…

Is to disconnect.

And in true Finding Me fashion, the episode also answers an important question about personal accountability:

If you find yourself in an elevator with Josh… and someone farts?

It was Josh.

Growth is about honesty.

Even the uncomfortable kind.

Just One Bad Habit

Today, Josh explores a question that probably sounds familiar to anyone who’s ever tried to clean up their life:

What if you allowed yourself… just one bad habit?

Not a full return to chaos. Not a lifestyle. Just something small — something that changes the way your brain feels. Maybe a new substance. Maybe nicotine. Maybe just one controlled vice to take the edge off.

But as Josh quickly realizes, the idea of “just one” opens up a bigger conversation:

Where’s the line between balance and rationalization?

Because the brain is very good at negotiating with itself.

This episode also takes a few classic Finding Me turns along the way:

    •    Some unexpected drama at the dog park

    •    Questions about Josh’s experience and credibility in the longevity and wellness space

    •    A surprisingly practical theory on why married couples might actually thrive living in… duplexes

In this episode:

    •    The psychology behind wanting a controlled vice

    •    How self-negotiation can quietly shift your standards

    •    The tension between optimization and actually enjoying life

    •    Real-world relationship boundaries (both human and canine)

    •    Why space — literal and emotional — might be the secret to long-term partnerships

Because Finding Me isn’t about becoming perfect.

It’s about noticing the stories you tell yourself… especially the convenient ones.

The Hard Questions

Today’s episode goes deeper than the stories. Deeper than the jokes.

This one is honest. Personal. And uncomfortable in the way real self-reflection often is.

Josh opens up about his drug use — not as a punchline, not as a lifestyle story, but as something he’s finally looking at seriously. He asks the questions most people avoid:

Why am I still doing this?

Is this something I actually want in my life?

And at what point does a habit stop being harmless?

But the conversation doesn’t stop there.

Josh also turns the lens outward — and inward — as he wrestles with a harder question: whether his own relationship with substances has influenced the people closest to him, including Jacob.

Because influence doesn’t always look like pressure.

Sometimes it looks like example.

In this episode:

    •    An honest look at Josh’s current relationship with drugs

    •    The difference between control and dependence

    •    The uncomfortable space between “I can stop” and “Why haven’t I?”

    •    The question of personal responsibility and influence

    •    What it means to examine your behavior without defensiveness

This isn’t a lecture.

It isn’t a decision announcement.

It’s something rarer.

Someone asking the hard questions out loud — before the answers are clear.

Because Finding Me isn’t about pretending to have everything figured out.

It’s about being honest enough to ask whether the life you’re living is actually the one you want.

Finding Me with Josh Wolf — Episode 37

Gratitude in Real Time

Today’s episode is a pause.

Not for reflection on what’s missing.

But for appreciation of what’s already here.

Josh takes a moment to talk about something that doesn’t always get enough attention in a world built on chasing the next thing:

Gratitude.

For his health.

For a career that still excites him.

And for the surreal, humbling reality that people actually make plans — real plans, with tickets and babysitters and calendars — to come see him perform.

That part still hits him.

Because when you step back and really think about it… it’s kind of incredible.

In this episode, Josh reflects on:

    •    The perspective that comes with staying healthy and active

    •    The privilege of doing work you still love

    •    The humbling experience of live audiences choosing to show up

    •    Why gratitude can quietly reset your mindset

    •    How appreciation keeps you grounded in a career built on momentum

Because in a life that’s always moving forward, it’s easy to forget to look around.

And sometimes the healthiest thing you can do…

Is notice what’s already working.

The Mushroom Set

This week, Josh comes clean about the highest he’s ever been on stage.

And yes… it happened this past weekend in Kansas City.

We’re calling it The Mushroom Set.

What started as a normal night of stand-up quickly turned into something far more unpredictable — a surreal experience that Josh had to navigate in real time, in front of a live audience. Thankfully, Jacob was there, offering a running commentary and helping capture the moment as things drifted into… unusual territory.

Because when your brain is operating on a completely different frequency than the room, there’s really only one option:

Stay present.

Trust your instincts.

And keep moving forward.

But this episode isn’t just about one wild night.

Josh also digs into what keeps him committed to stand-up after all these years — the work behind the work. The constant push to stay fresh. To take risks. To avoid autopilot.

Because for Josh, the real challenge isn’t just making the audience laugh.

It’s making sure the material still feels alive to him.

New ideas.

New risks.

New ways to stay creatively uncomfortable.

In this episode:

    •    The full story behind the Kansas City “Mushroom Set”

    •    What it feels like when your mind and the stage aren’t on the same timeline

    •    Jacob’s play-by-play from the sidelines

    •    What Josh loves most about stand-up

    •    The discipline it takes to keep the work fresh — for the audience and for himself

Because Finding Me isn’t about control.

It’s about showing up honestly — even when things don’t go the way you expected.

What if the problem isn’t your discipline…
What if the problem is your expectations?

In this episode of Finding Me, Josh takes a hard (and very funny) look at the way we set goals — and why aiming too high, too fast, too soon might be the very thing keeping us stuck.

Because nothing kills motivation like feeling like a failure before you’ve even had a chance to succeed.

Josh explores the power of setting achievable goals — the kind that build momentum instead of crushing it.

In this episode, he talks about:

• Why massive, “life overhaul” goals often backfire

• The psychology behind small wins and confidence-building

• How success is less about intensity… and more about consistency

• The simple mindset shift that helps you set yourself up to win

It’s practical, honest, and exactly the kind of perspective that makes change feel possible instead of overwhelming.

Then Josh takes us deep into the creative weeds — and this is where things get hilariously specific.

He shares:

• How he chooses the topics for his comedy songs

• Where ideas actually come from (hint: not inspiration… irritation)

• His real writing process — from first spark to finished bit

• How he tests whether something is actually funny

• The strange balance between structure, instinct, and total chaos

If you’ve ever wondered how comedy gets made — or how a ridiculous idea becomes a fully formed song — this episode is a rare and funny peek behind the curtain.

Creative process, insecurity, trial and error… and a lot of laughs along the way.

• You’re tired of setting goals you never stick to

• You feel discouraged when motivation fades

• You want a more realistic way to build habits and momentum

• You’re curious about the real, messy process behind comedy and creativity

Because growth doesn’t come from punishing yourself.

It comes from stacking small wins… until they turn into something bigger.

And keep showing up — one small win at a time.

Because sometimes the best way to change your life…
is to make it easier to succeed today.

Today’s episode starts with a simple idea that turns out not to be simple at all:

Less external clutter… more inner peace.

Josh has realized that when his environment feels chaotic, his mind follows. So he’s starting small — really small — with one habit he’s heard about for years but never fully committed to:

Making the bed.

Every day.

No shortcuts. No “I’ll get to it later.” Just one intentional act of order to begin the morning.

Because sometimes change doesn’t come from a dramatic life overhaul. Sometimes it starts with a corner of the room. A cleared surface. A small promise kept to yourself before the day even begins.

And that small act is already doing something bigger — creating structure, momentum, and a sense of control in a world that rarely offers much of it.

Josh also checks back in on a conversation he’s been having with himself lately: his relationship with weed.

He’s still sitting with the possibility that he may be done with it — or at least ready for a different chapter. Nothing dramatic, no big declaration. Just honest reflection about what still serves him and what might not.

That said… let’s be clear.

He may be reevaluating weed.

But mushrooms?

He’s not crazy.

As always, this episode is less about rules and more about awareness — noticing the patterns, the habits, the environments, and the choices that either support your peace… or quietly chip away at it.

Because sometimes the path forward isn’t about adding more to your life.

Sometimes it’s about clearing space.

Today’s episode is a big one.

Josh gets honest about something that’s been building quietly beneath the surface — the feeling that a major change may be coming in his life.

He’s not walking away from comedy. Not even close.

But after years on the road, years of chasing the next show, the next opportunity, the next stage… he’s starting to ask a bigger question:

What if the next chapter looks different?

There’s no clear plan yet. No dramatic announcement. No sudden pivot.

Just a feeling.

The kind of feeling that starts as a whisper — a sense that something in your life needs attention, even if you don’t yet know what that attention should look like.

And that’s the moment Josh explores today.

Because real change doesn’t begin with a decision.

It begins with awareness.

With the courage to say out loud:

Something is shifting.

Something matters here.

I need to listen to it.

That’s the heart of Finding Me.

Not having all the answers.

Not reinventing your life overnight.

Just being honest enough to notice when something inside you is asking to be heard.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet restlessness… that sense that a new version of your life might be forming, even if you can’t see it yet… this episode is for you.

Today, Josh talks about a realization that hits harder than any motivational speech:

At some point, you have to stop telling yourself you’re trying your best… when you know you’re only taking half-court shots.

In this episode, Josh gets honest about the difference between effort and real commitment. The comfortable kind of trying. The kind where you leave yourself an out. Where you protect your ego by never fully going all in.

Because if you don’t give it everything, you never have to face the question:

What if I still fail?

Josh shares what it means to finally bet on himself — to stop playing it safe, stop hedging, and start showing up with full effort and full accountability.

Then the story shifts from mindset to pure chaos.

Josh recounts his recent trip to Mardi Gras, where he went to visit his wife while she was deep in the madness of directing a film. Between the crowds, the energy, the unpredictability, and the controlled insanity of both filmmaking and New Orleans during Carnival, the trip became its own kind of reminder:

Life rarely waits until you feel ready.

Sometimes you just show up, lean in, and figure it out as you go.

This episode is about commitment, risk, and the moment you stop pretending you’re trying — and actually do it.

Today, Josh gets honest about something small… that isn’t so small.

He talks about his habit of telling what he calls “little white lies.” Not the harmful kind. Not the life-changing kind. Just the subtle exaggerations — the extra detail, the slightly better version of a story, the tweak that makes a moment land a little stronger.

It’s a comedian’s instinct. A storyteller’s reflex.

And on stage? That’s the job.

But offstage, Josh is realizing something important: if the goal of this show is honesty, growth, and showing up as your real self, then the small embellishments have to go too.

Because authenticity isn’t just about the big truths.

It’s about the little ones.

This episode is about awareness, accountability, and the quiet discipline of choosing honesty — even when the unpolished version isn’t quite as entertaining.

It’s a new goal. A simple one. And a worthy one.

Plus, Josh opens the inbox and responds to more listener emails — real questions, real struggles, and the kind of connection that reminds us none of us are figuring this out alone.

Because finding yourself doesn’t happen through a better story.

It happens through the real one.

Today starts on a high note.

Josh is back in the gym. The body is moving again. The list is getting shorter. Momentum is back. And with it comes something simple but powerful: gratitude.

Because some days you feel stuck. And some days you remember what forward motion feels like.

This is one of those days.

But then, Josh takes a turn into what he calls the Hollywood Time Machine — and the mood shifts.

He shares a story from early in his career, one that’s uncomfortable, familiar, and unfortunately not uncommon in the entertainment industry. An audition that wasn’t really an audition. A casting meeting that crossed the line. The kind of moment where the power dynamic becomes clear, the couch gets a little too small, and the question isn’t about talent anymore — it’s about how badly you want the job.

Josh knew the answer.

And the bottom line?

He didn’t get the part.

What follows is an honest reflection on boundaries, power, and the quiet reality behind stories that many people in the business — and many outside of it — know all too well.

Today’s episode is about momentum, self-respect, and the importance of knowing when walking away is the real win.

Because success isn’t just about what you get.

Sometimes it’s about what you refuse to trade for it.

Today, Josh gets honest about something many of us experience but don’t always connect to our daily routines — the restlessness, irritability, and old habits that start creeping in when we’re not taking care of ourselves physically.

For Josh, the warning sign is clear: when he’s not getting to the gym regularly, things start to bubble to the surface. The energy builds. The mind gets louder. The edge comes back.

And that’s the heart of this episode.

Movement isn’t about chasing a certain look. It’s about regulation. Physical activity gets the blood moving, the muscles firing, and the joints lubricated — but even more important, it stabilizes your mood, lowers stress, and protects your mental health.

The takeaway is simple:

If you can’t lift, do something else.

Ride a bike.

Go for a run.

Take a walk.

Just move.

Because when your body moves, your mind gets the reset it needs.

This episode is a reminder that mental health isn’t only about what’s happening in your head — sometimes the best way forward starts by getting out of it and into motion.

Today’s episode is about perspective, responsibility, and the kind of empathy that feels in short supply.

Josh starts with a conversation about inclusivity and the reaction to the Super Bowl halftime show — not to critique the performance itself, but to talk about the bigger picture. How quickly adults turn cultural moments into battlegrounds. How everything becomes outrage. And why maybe it’s time for all of us to take a breath, act like grown-ups… and leave the kids out of it.

Because not everything needs to be a fight.

And not every moment needs to become a culture war.

Then the conversation shifts to something far more serious.

While traveling through parts of the American Southwest, Josh witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of the fentanyl epidemic. What he saw wasn’t headlines or statistics — it was the human toll. Struggling communities. Overwhelmed families. Lives unraveling in real time.

The short version?

It’s bad. Really bad.

This episode is a reminder that while we argue about entertainment and internet drama, there are real crises happening all around us — and they deserve our attention, our compassion, and our willingness to look beyond the noise.

Because sometimes, finding perspective… is part of finding ourselves.

Some days just feel… off.

In today’s episode, Josh Wolf checks in from one of those days — the kind where nothing catastrophic has happened, but everything feels heavier than it should.

An injury has sidelined his workouts, disrupting a routine that normally keeps him grounded. Without that physical outlet, Josh talks honestly about how quickly his mental balance starts to shift. For him — and for a lot of us — movement isn’t just about fitness. It’s structure. It’s stress relief. It’s emotional maintenance.

Take that away, and the day can start to wobble.

Layer on top of that the emotional weight of recent political events, the nonstop news cycle, and the background noise of uncertainty, and suddenly the mood turns from unsettled to overwhelming.

And that’s the heart of this episode.

Josh doesn’t try to fix the day. He doesn’t force a silver lining. Instead, he does something more useful — he says it out loud.

This is one of those days.

Because the truth is, we all have them. Days when motivation is low. When anxiety is high. When the world feels louder than usual and our coping tools don’t seem to work the way they normally do.

The point of Finding Me has never been perfection. It’s awareness.

Josh reminds us that our feelings matter — even when they’re uncomfortable. Especially when they’re uncomfortable. Ignoring them doesn’t make them disappear. Naming them, acknowledging them, and giving ourselves permission to feel them is often the first step toward getting back to center.

It’s not the happiest episode.

But it might be one of the most honest.

And sometimes honesty is exactly what we need to hear.

The week closes on a note of gratitude — deep, steady, and unmistakably real.

In today’s episode, Josh Wolf opens up about how profoundly lucky he feels to be spending meaningful time with his adult son, Jacob. Not rushed time. Not obligatory time. Real time. Conversations. Laughter. Shared moments on the road and in between the noise of life.

Josh talks about that rare gift — getting to know your child not just as a parent, but as another adult — and the kind of gratitude that doesn’t come from achievement or success, but from presence. It’s unfiltered. It’s tender. And it’s clear this isn’t something he takes lightly for even a second.

From there, the episode turns outward.

Josh dedicates the rest of the show to reading and responding to listener comments that have come in throughout the week. Messages about insecurity. About fear. About showing up honestly when it would be easier to hide. Josh doesn’t rush through them or play it for laughs. He listens. He reflects. He responds with the same openness he’s been asking of himself.

It’s one of those episodes where the line between host and audience disappears — where Finding Me becomes exactly what it claims to be: a shared process, unfolding in real time.

There’s no big lesson wrapped in a bow. No forced resolution. Just gratitude, connection, and the quiet power of being heard.

It’s a strong way to end the week.

And exactly what we’ve come to expect from Finding Me.

Today’s check-in with Josh Wolf starts with bloodwork… and ends with a baseball cap coming off.

Josh opens up about recent lab results showing elevated cholesterol and how that pushed him to change his diet. But this isn’t a preachy wellness episode. In fact, it’s the opposite. Josh talks about how easy it is to get overwhelmed by health “rules” online and why what works for one person might be totally wrong for someone else. Bodies are different. Metabolisms are different. Histories are different. His big takeaway? Stop chasing trends and start paying attention to your data, your doctor, and your reality.

It’s practical, grounded, and refreshingly free of influencer magic formulas.

But that’s only half the story.

Because this is also Day Two of Josh facing his biggest insecurities — and today he lets go of his most reliable security blanket: his baseball hat.

What follows is one of the most vulnerable conversations he’s ever shared on the show. Josh talks openly about the fear of losing his hair — a fear that hits deeper than vanity. It’s about identity. Aging. Control. How we see ourselves versus how we think the world sees us. And he’s quick to point out that this isn’t just a “guy thing.” Hair loss and body changes hit men and women alike, and the emotional weight is very real.

There’s humor (because it’s Josh), but there’s no hiding here. Taking off the hat becomes symbolic — a small, physical act that represents something much bigger: choosing honesty over armor.

This episode is about health, yes. But more than that, it’s about self-acceptance in the face of change. About learning to adapt without shame. About realizing that vulnerability doesn’t make you weaker — it makes you more human.

And maybe, just maybe, a little more free.

Another day, another honest check-in with Josh Wolf, and this one hits right in the vulnerable center — with a side of classic Josh frustration.

This week, Josh dives deeper into his insecurities and shares a moment from therapy that stopped him in his tracks. His therapist told him he needs to picture and hug “Little Josh” — the younger version of himself who still carries old fears, old doubts, and the lingering need for approval. Instead of pushing those feelings away, Josh talks about learning to comfort that younger version, to reassure him that everything really will be okay.

It’s tender. It’s uncomfortable. It’s deeply human.

And because it’s Josh, it’s also hilarious in the most relatable ways.

He vents about two of life’s greatest modern irritations: spam calls that somehow always know the worst possible time to ring… and the universal rage of stepping in dog poop. Yes, this episode moves fluidly from emotional healing to muttering “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” while scraping your shoe on a curb.

But even those rants tie back to the bigger theme: we’re all just trying to get through the day with a little more patience, a little more self-compassion, and maybe slightly cleaner sneakers.

Josh reminds us that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about learning to take care of the person you’ve always been — especially the parts that felt scared, overlooked, or unsure.

So hug your inner kid. Ignore the spam calls. And please, for the love of humanity…

pick up after your dog.

Another day, another honest step forward with Josh Wolf.

This week kicks off a deeply personal run of episodes as Josh begins unpacking some of his biggest insecurities — starting with the one that hits closest to home: the fear of not being accepted by his peers in the comedy world.

For someone whose job is literally to make people laugh, this vulnerability cuts deep. Josh talks openly about what it feels like to wonder where you fit in, to question whether you’re respected by the people you admire, and how easy it is — even after years of success — to feel like an outsider looking in.

It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s Josh at his most open.

Of course, because this is Josh, the episode isn’t all heavy. There’s also a moment involving a guy at the gym, an ill-timed fart, and the universal human struggle of pretending nothing just happened. Because vulnerability and bodily functions can, in fact, coexist.

But beneath the laughs, this episode is really about something bigger: the courage it takes to admit what scares you, to say the quiet thoughts out loud, and to stop pretending you’re immune to self-doubt. Josh shows that strength doesn’t come from having it all figured out — it comes from being willing to be seen while you’re still working on it.

If you’ve ever worried about belonging… about being enough… about whether the room actually wants you there — this one’s going to hit home.

This week, Josh Wolf dives into a truth that took him years (and a lot of life) to understand:

It’s better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you’re not.

Josh opens up about the strange freedom that comes with full authenticity — when you stop shape-shifting to fit rooms, crowds, expectations, or old versions of yourself. Not everyone will vibe with you… and that’s kind of the point.

He shares stories from a recent private show in Kentucky that went great — even though only about half the room was truly locked into his act. Instead of spiraling about the ones who didn’t laugh, Josh talks about why focusing on the people who do connect is the only sane (and sustainable) way to create.

But the heart of this episode? Fatherhood on the road.

Josh reflects with deep gratitude on getting to travel and perform while spending real, meaningful time with his son Jacob. From car rides to backstage hangs, he talks about how these shared experiences are becoming the memories that matter most — and how success feels different when you get to share it with your kid.

It’s funny. It’s grounded. It’s a little vulnerable. And it’s a reminder that being fully yourself might cost you approval… but it pays you back in peace.

🔥 Topics in This Episode

    •    Why authenticity scares people (and why that’s okay)

    •    Performing for a divided crowd — and not taking it personally

    •    The difference between approval and connection

    •    Gratitude, fatherhood, and life on the road

    •    Letting go of who you think you “should” be

Episode 20: “Nervous Is a Good Sign”

Josh is on the road and walking straight into one of every comedian’s quiet nightmares… a private party gig.

You know the kind. Maybe they’re fans. Maybe they’re not. Maybe they want comedy. Maybe they just want the bar open and someone in the corner making noise. The vibe is unknown, the expectations are unclear, and the room did not buy tickets to see you.

But here’s the twist — Josh wasn’t even booked primarily as a comedian.

He was booked as a musician.

And suddenly, for the first time in a while, he feels nervous again.

In this episode, Josh talks about that feeling — the butterflies, the second-guessing, the “why did I say yes to this?” spiral — and why it might actually be one of the best signs you can have. Nervous means you care. Nervous means you’re stepping outside the routine. Nervous means you’re trying something that might not work… and choosing to do it anyway.

We hear a lot of phrases about growth: take chances, embrace failure, get uncomfortable. They’re everywhere. They’re almost clichés at this point.

But they became clichés for a reason.

Because they’re true.

Josh reflects on how easy it is to forget that once you find a groove, once life feels manageable, once you know how to play the room. Comfort is sneaky. It feels safe… until you realize you’ve stopped stretching.

This episode is about saying yes when your instinct says hide. About chasing growth even when it’s awkward. About remembering that the moments that scare you a little are often the ones that move you forward the most.

Josh admits he forgets this all the time.

Episode 19: “Small Goals, Big Results”

Josh is back and getting real about something a lot of us struggle with — health, weight, and the long road back when you realize you’ve drifted further than you meant to.

In this episode, he opens up about the many diets he’s tried over the years, the frustration of starting over (again), and the mental game that can be even tougher than the physical one. He talks about a turning point from years ago, when a close friend said something honest — and uncomfortable — about his weight gain. Not to shame him, but because real friends don’t pretend everything’s fine when you’re not at your best. Sometimes love shows up as accountability.

Josh also shares how he stopped chasing dramatic, overnight transformations and started focusing on small, achievable goals instead. A little progress. A little consistency. A few small wins that slowly built the confidence he needed to keep going — even when the scale didn’t move as fast as he wanted.

This episode is about patience, perspective, and the power of stacking small victories when big results feel far away.

Because lasting change rarely comes from one giant leap…

It comes from showing up, over and over again.

Episode 18: “They Want Us To Argue With Each Other”

In this episode, Josh takes a step back from the noise and looks at the bigger picture behind today’s nonstop outrage cycle.

Why does it feel like everyone is fighting all the time? Why does every issue instantly turn into a war in the comments? And who actually benefits from all of us being constantly at each other’s throats?

Josh shares his perspective on how division has become a feature — not a bug — of modern life. From algorithm-driven social media feeds that keep us trapped in echo chambers, to the way outrage is monetized and amplified, he explores how we’re being nudged away from real conversation and pushed toward endless, exhausting conflict.

He also gets personal about something freeing he’s realized: he no longer feels the need to win arguments with strangers online. In a world where everyone has a microphone and no one is really listening, choosing where to put your energy might be the most radical move of all.

This episode is less about politics — and more about awareness, attention, and refusing to let your peace be hijacked by people you’ve never met.

Because maybe the real power move… is not playing the game at all.

When Policy Turns Deadly

Josh can’t stay quiet about what’s unfolding in Minnesota. What started as a debate over immigration enforcement has escalated into something far more disturbing — and it forces a line we should all be able to agree on.

Disagreements over policy are part of democracy.

But there can be no disagreement about murder.

This episode confronts the fear, anger, and confusion surrounding armed, masked federal agents operating in American communities and the deadly consequences that have followed. Josh asks the hard question: When enforcement starts to feel like warfare, what happens to the people caught in between?

🧠 This Episode Explores

    •    The growing tension between federal authority and local communities

    •    Conflicting narratives about the use of force

    •    Why accountability matters — no matter who holds the badge

    •    The moral line between policy enforcement and loss of life

🗣️ From the Episode

“Disagreements on policy are healthy — but there can be no disagreement on murder.”

“Armed, masked, untrained soldiers in the streets of America killing our citizens is not okay.”

🎙️ Why This Conversation Matters

This isn’t about left vs. right.

It’s about whether we still share a basic belief: human life must come before politics.

Josh challenges listeners to think about power, responsibility, and what kind of country we want to be when fear and force enter the picture.

Some Issues Don't Have "Two Sides"

This week on Finding Me, Josh steps into deeper water.

He talks about one of the biggest problems facing the country right now: the idea that every issue must have two equally valid sides. The pressure to “hear both perspectives.” The cultural reflex to treat every argument like a debate stage.

Josh isn’t buying it.

Because some things aren’t political. Some things aren’t philosophical. Some things aren’t “complicated.”

Some things are just wrong.

He makes the case that while nuance is important, we’ve drifted into a dangerous place where even basic moral lines get blurred by spin, tribalism, and the fear of offending someone’s viewpoint. Josh gets real about where that leads — to confusion, moral exhaustion, and a society that struggles to call out obvious harm for what it is.

This isn’t a screaming rant. It’s a grounded, honest conversation about values, accountability, and the difference between healthy disagreement and moral relativism.

And yes — it’s still Josh. There’s humor. There’s self-awareness. But there’s also clarity. Because growth isn’t just about self-improvement… sometimes it’s about saying, calmly and confidently:

No. That’s not okay.

In this episode:

    •    Why not every issue deserves a “both sides” debate

    •    The difference between nuance and moral confusion

    •    How political spin can distort basic right and wrong

    •    Why clarity doesn’t make you extreme — it makes you grounded

    •    Josh’s take on drawing lines without losing empathy

Josh is en route to Chicago, but before he lands in the next chapter of life, he checks in to close the book on one of the wildest chapters yet: the Nashville leg of the Mold Run… and the long, chaotic final push to Las Vegas.

Because the move wasn’t just “a move.” It was a full-blown saga.

It took a legitimately crazy moving crew, a cross-country drive loaded with stress and uncertainty, and a stretch of travel haunted by the one thing nobody wanted to deal with on top of everything else: COVID. Add in the curveball of a dog who apparently required the same standards as a touring rockstar—including his own hotel room—and what should have been a simple relocation turns into a survival story with luggage.

But then the episode pivots into something nobody sees coming.

Josh shares a strange and unexpected realization: as awful as COVID was, there’s a real possibility it may have fixed him—a shocking twist after months of chasing answers, fighting invisible enemies, and bouncing between homes in an attempt to reclaim health.

And finally… Vegas.

For the first time in a long time, the story carries a different tone. A calmer one. Not because everything is perfect, but because they’ve arrived. The running stops. The dust settles.

And in Las Vegas, Josh and Beth can finally do the thing they’ve been desperate to do from the beginning:

start healing for real.

In this episode:

    •    Josh checks in on the way to Chicago — and wraps up the Nashville chapter

    •    The final push to Las Vegas: not a move… an ordeal

    •    A moving crew straight out of a movie

    •    The cross-country drive — and a brutal run-in with COVID

    •    The dog’s VIP travel requirements (yes, including his own hotel room)

    •    Josh’s surprising realization: COVID may have been the thing that finally helped

    •    Arriving in Vegas — and the start of true healing

Just when Josh and Beth thought they’d identified the “invisible enemy” ruining their health… the story takes another hard left.

In this episode of Finding Me, the Mold Saga continues — but now there’s a new villain in the mix: mercury poisoning. As if mold wasn’t enough, Josh shares how their already exhausting search for answers suddenly expanded into an even more unsettling possibility… one that reframes symptoms, setbacks, and the sheer frustration of trying to heal when you don’t even know what you’re fighting.

And because apparently this journey refuses to stay in one place — Josh and Beth take the show on the road to Nashville, hoping for a reset… only to discover something brutal:

Nashville was worse than Los Angeles.

Not just in vibe — in health, environment, and the overall sense that the universe was playing an elaborate prank on their attempt to recover.

But this episode isn’t only about sickness. It’s also about the quiet ways your surroundings change you.

Josh opens up about something deeply personal — who he slowly became during his time in LA. Not the version of himself he’s proud of. The version that started to harden. The version that wasn’t as happy for other comics’ success as he used to be.

It’s an honest, uncomfortable realization — and Josh doesn’t dodge it. He faces it, names it, and tries to understand what part of him got lost in the grind… and how to find his way back to the guy he actually wants to be.

Because health isn’t just your body.

It’s your spirit.

Your relationships.

Your generosity.

Your ability to still feel joy when someone else wins.

In this episode:

    •    The Mold Saga continues… and the plot thickens

    •    Mercury poisoning: the terrifying new health curveball

    •    Why their Nashville experiment turned into a disaster (worse than LA)

    •    How prolonged stress and survival mode can quietly change who you are

    •    Josh’s honest realization about losing his ability to celebrate other comics

    •    Addressing resentment, ego, and the path back to gratitude

When Survival Tests A Marriage

The Mold Run continues — and somehow the story gets even crazier.

In this episode, Josh lays out the insane number of places he and his wife Beth stayed in under a single year, all in pursuit of one thing: feeling healthy again. It’s part survival story, part logistical nightmare — the kind of relentless, nomadic grind that sounds impossible until you remember: when your body stops working the way it should, comfort becomes optional.

As the journey stretches on, Josh also finds himself rethinking the entire idea of “healthcare.” He talks about his subtle shift toward eastern medicine — not as a trend, not as a rejection of science, but as a practical attempt to get to a place where he doesn’t need medicines anymore. Less management. More healing. Fewer bandaids. More root causes.

And then there’s the hardest truth of all: even when you love someone, even when you’re doing this together, sustained stress can erode the foundation. Josh reflects on how the experience ultimately brought him and Beth closer… but also how, at times, it almost broke them. Because when you’re exhausted, scared, and chasing answers that keep moving — even the best partnership gets tested.

This is a raw one. A real one. And for anyone who’s ever felt like their health journey was turning into a full-time life crisis — you’ll feel seen.

In this episode:

    •    The jaw-dropping list of places Josh and Beth stayed in less than a year

    •    Why chasing health can turn life into a constant relocation

    •    Josh’s growing pull toward eastern medicine and root-cause healing

    •    The goal: fewer meds, more real recovery

    •    How the ordeal strengthened their relationship… and nearly shattered it

Show Notes

Josh picks up where last week’s HEALTH Theme kickoff left off—continuing the absolutely wild (and somehow still funny) story of how he and his wife fought their way out of a mold infestation that didn’t just invade their home… it hijacked their bodies.

In this episode, the journey expands into something that feels like a survival road movie: multiple cities, multiple homes, multiple doctors, and the relentless trial-and-error of trying to identify an invisible enemy that keeps moving the goalposts. Josh walks through the exhaustion, the frustration, the “are we ever going to feel normal again?” moments—and the sheer persistence it took to finally reclaim their health and their lives.

And then Josh zooms out to something equally personal but unexpectedly hopeful: in just a few short weeks of doing this new show, he’s already noticing a shift. He’s far less interested in social media, he’s doomscrolling way less, and he feels more grounded—more focused on self-improvement, on living intentionally, and on being of service to others in a way that actually matters.

It’s part recovery story, part mindset reset—and a reminder that sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t another supplement or another hack…

…it’s getting your attention back.

In this episode:

    •    The mold saga continues: why it took years, not weeks

    •    Multiple cities + homes + doctors—and why answers were hard to find

    •    What finally helped Josh and his wife start getting their lives back

    •    Why Josh is pulling away from social media and doomscrolling

    •    The surprising upside of building a show around growth: more intention, more service

Theme Week: HEALTH (The Mold Story Begins)

This week on Finding Me, Josh introduces a slightly new format — and it’s built for real life.

Starting now, every Monday Josh will announce a “Theme of the Week,” and every episode that follows will orbit that theme from a different angle. And for Week One… we’re not easing in gently.

The theme is HEALTH.

Josh kicks things off with the first installment of the personal health journey he and his wife have been on for almost a decade — a journey that began with something out of a horror movie: a mold infestation in their home… and then in their bodies.

What follows is equal parts terrifying and enlightening: the symptoms, the uncertainty, the relentless trial-and-error, and the lengths they had to go to just to feel normal again. But as brutal as the process was, Josh walks away with a lesson that cuts through every fad, every “before-and-after,” every fake wellness guru selling certainty on Instagram:

The mirror is NOT your doctor.

This one’s funny when it can be — but mostly it’s honest, raw, and weirdly hopeful… because nothing makes you value your health more than nearly losing it.

In this episode:

    •    Josh announces the show’s new weekly format: Theme Week

    •    This week’s theme: HEALTH

    •    The beginning of Josh + his wife’s long health journey

    •    Mold: how it took over their home and impacted their bodies

    •    The scary reality of chronic symptoms and not knowing what’s wrong

    •    The takeaway that hits hardest: “The mirror is NOT your doctor.”

85% Won’t Cut It

Josh checks in from the airport on his way to Spokane, and he’s in a mood that’s equal parts exhausted and crystal clear.

In this episode, Josh talks about something he’s been confronting in real time: 85% effort.

For most of his life, that level of effort has been more than enough to succeed — enough to get by, enough to win, enough to keep momentum. But lately, it’s started to feel like a trap. Not because 85% is “lazy”… but because Josh knows he’s capable of more — and he’s tired of living like “good enough” is the destination.

Josh also shares a surprisingly encouraging update: after making some recent dietary changes, he’s already felt an almost immediate improvement in his energy and overall well-being — a reminder of how quickly the body can respond when you start giving it what it actually needs.

And looking ahead, Josh opens up about what’s next: he’s preparing to begin testosterone treatment in the coming weeks, and for the first time in a while, he’s genuinely optimistic about what it could change — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

This is a short, raw, on-the-move episode about leveling up — and finally refusing to coast.

In This Episode

    •    Checking in from the airport en route to Spokane

    •    Why Josh is done operating at 85%

    •    When “good enough” becomes a problem

    •    Dietary changes that made an immediate difference

    •    Josh’s mindset shift toward health and discipline

    •    Looking ahead: testosterone treatment starting in a few weeks

In today’s episode, Josh pulls back the curtain and talks about a new format for the show — where he wants to take it, how he wants it to feel, and why he’s making changes now.

But before anything gets too polished, Josh gets honest about something way more relatable: how insanely easy it is to fall back into old behavior, even when you know better, even when you’re actively trying to grow. He’s been catching himself sliding into patterns he’s REALLY trying to stop doing — and he breaks down what’s behind it, what triggers it, and what he’s doing to fight the autopilot version of himself.

And then… because life loves comedy… Josh admits he messed up his first attempt at recording the episode. Which is annoying on its own — except the redo (the mulligan) came with a plot twist: Josh was super high when he re-recorded it.

So yes — it’s an episode about change, growth, discipline, and self-awareness… but it’s also an episode about being human, screwing up, laughing at yourself, and still hitting “record” anyway.

In This Episode

    •    A new format for Finding Me — what’s changing and why

    •    Why old habits are so hard to break

    •    Josh’s ongoing battle with slipping into old behavior

    •    Messing up the first recording (classic)

    •    The “mulligan” take… recorded very high

Episode 8 finds Josh in a new setting — his first episode recorded from the road — and he’s coming in hot.

Josh wakes up angry… and not the entertaining, “coffee hasn’t kicked in yet” kind of angry. He’s frustrated with health issues he can’t control, and even more frustrated with the state of humanity in America right now. The noise. The cruelty. The way public life seems to reward the loudest bullies, the most committed liars, and the politicians who hide behind “policy” while forgetting the human beings impacted by it.

This episode is raw, honest, and reflective — Josh unpacks what it feels like to carry personal struggles while watching the country feel more divided, more performative, and less empathetic by the day.

But beneath the frustration is something else: a belief that if we stripped away the drama, the outrage, and the online theatrics… there’s a really good chance we’d agree on much more than we think we do.

A road episode. A real one. And a reminder that humanity matters more than talking points.

In This Episode

    •    Josh’s first episode recorded from the road

    •    Waking up angry — and why it’s deeper than a bad mood

    •    The frustration of health issues you can’t control

    •    The cultural cost of cruelty, bullying, and political theater

    •    Why “policy over humanity” is breaking the country

    •    The idea that we’re closer than we think — if we cut the drama

In today’s episode, Josh talks about something that feels more important than ever: raising kids to be free thinkers.

Josh breaks down what it really means to encourage independence—not just in how your kids think, but in how they move through the world. He explores why teaching children to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and form their own opinions doesn’t weaken the parent-child bond… it often strengthens it, creating a relationship built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect.

From there, Josh shifts into a wider conversation about the current political climate, and the growing gap between performative outrage and real-world impact. He draws a sharp distinction between screaming into the internet void and actually doing the difficult, unglamorous work that creates meaningful change—work that takes time, discipline, and often humility.

It’s an episode about values, critical thinking, and how to stay grounded in a world that’s constantly trying to pull us into reaction.

In This Episode

    •    Why raising free thinkers leads to healthier parent-child relationships

    •    Building trust through open dialogue instead of control

    •    How to teach kids to question the world without becoming cynical

    •    The difference between online outrage and real activism

    •    What making change actually requires

In today’s episode, Josh gets real about making time for yourself — especially when it comes to exercise and movement, even in the middle of life’s chaos.

Josh talks about how easy it is to push your own needs to the bottom of the list… until one day your energy, confidence, and patience are running on fumes. But he also offers a warning: don’t turn self-improvement into self-sabotage by setting goals so huge they’re practically designed to fail.

Instead of grand declarations and all-or-nothing promises, Josh encourages listeners to start small — with simple, achievable commitments that build momentum over time. Because nothing derails motivation faster than letting yourself down after biting off more than you can chew.

Then Josh switches gears and shares a weekend highlight: his experience at a Zac Brown Band concert, including what made the night so memorable and why live music has a way of snapping you back into the moment.

This is an episode about progress over perfection, reclaiming your own time, and learning to show up for yourself in a way that’s sustainable.

In This Episode

    •    Why “me time” matters more than ever

    •    How exercise can become a form of self-respect

    •    Why unrealistic goals backfire

    •    The power of small wins and building consistency

    •    Josh’s weekend recap at a Zac Brown Band concert

“The Quiet Endings”

In this episode, Josh sits with an uncomfortable reality most of us recognize — but rarely talk about out loud:

Some friendships don’t end with a fight.

They don’t explode.

They don’t even end in a way you can point to.

They just… fade.

Josh reflects on the strange grief of losing people who were once central to your life — close friends who drift away as priorities change, paths diverge, or one of you quietly outgrows the other. No villain. No big moment. Just distance, unanswered texts, and the realization that something meaningful has expired without explanation.

From there, the conversation turns inward.

Josh shares recent health information — nothing catastrophic, but not exactly comforting either — and what it stirred up for him. Mortality. Accountability. The subtle ways your body starts asking for attention before it starts demanding it.

And then — because life rarely stays in one emotional lane — the episode takes a sharp turn.

Josh tells a story about a spontaneously hatched revenge plot aboard a flight to New York. Was it justified? Probably not. Was it hilarious in hindsight? Absolutely. And did it reveal something important about restraint, impulse, and knowing when to let something go?

Definitely.

This episode is about acceptance, humor, honesty, and learning when to mourn what’s gone — and when to laugh at yourself for almost making it worse.

Episode: Facing What We’d Rather Ignore

In this episode, Josh gets honest about something he’s been doing for a long time:

Avoiding the stuff he doesn’t want to look at.

He opens up about a few health concerns he’s been quietly pushing aside — not out of fear of doctors, but fear of answers. What happens when the stories we tell ourselves (“I’m fine,” “It can wait,” “I’ll deal with it later…”) stop protecting us and start putting us at risk?

From there, Josh shifts into something closer to home — literally.

Being a good dog owner.

Not just loving our animals, but showing up for them the way they show up for us — with patience, consistency, and responsibility. Because the way we care for the most vulnerable beings in our lives says a lot about who we are everywhere else.

And finally, Josh dives into a theme that runs through both of those conversations:

Empathy is not weakness.

It’s not soft.

It’s not naïve.

It’s not something you outgrow.

Empathy is a strength that keeps relationships alive, keeps communities human, and keeps us accountable —

“Doing the Thing You Don’t Want to Do”

In today’s episode, Josh leans into one of the toughest truths about growth:

Sometimes the right thing to do is the thing you absolutely don’t feel like doing.

Working out when the couch is calling.
Eating like someone who actually wants to live longer.
Reaching out. Apologizing. Forgiving — even when your pride would rather keep score.

But this isn’t about white-knuckling your way through discipline.
It’s about discovering something surprising on the other side:

joy.

Josh talks through how choosing the harder path sometimes unlocks clarity, gratitude, and a weird kind of peace — the kind that only shows up after you’ve done the uncomfortable work.

And then… the episode flips.

Because there are also moments where acting — jumping in, protecting, fixing — feels instinctively “right.”
Moments where Josh’s protective wiring almost took over.

But this time, he stopped himself.

He sat in the discomfort. He didn’t rush in.
And he wrestled with the harder lesson:

Sometimes growth means not doing the thing you desperately want to do — especially when it isn’t actually yours to handle.

This episode is about restraint, responsibility, ego, compassion, and learning how to tell the difference between bravery… and control.

“Selfish, Nice, and Actually Being Kind”

In this episode, Josh digs into a word most of us were taught to feel guilty about:

selfish.

But what if being “selfish” — at least sometimes — is actually the healthiest thing you can do?

Josh breaks down the difference between being nice and being kind.

Nice usually means smoothing things over, avoiding conflict, and people-pleasing until you disappear. Kindness, though — real kindness — has to include you. Boundaries. Honesty. Saying no without apologizing for existing.

He walks through three simple things he did for himself yesterday — choices that didn’t make anyone else’s life worse, but made his life clearer, calmer, and a little more grounded. Nothing dramatic. No “life hacks.” Just intentional acts of self-respect.

We also get an inside look at Josh’s expanded Las Vegas stand-up residency — why he said yes, how it changes his creative rhythm, and what it feels like to build something new at this stage in his career.

This is an episode about rewiring the way we talk to ourselves — and refusing to confuse self-abandonment with virtue.

“Somewhere Between Who I Am and Who I’m Trying to Be”

In the debut episode of Finding Me, comedian, storyteller, and accidental philosopher Josh Wolf opens the door a little wider than usual — and invites us into the messier parts of becoming a better version of yourself.

This isn’t a “self-help” show. There are no gurus. No miracle hacks. Just a guy taking an honest look at his choices, patterns, wins, screw-ups, and the lingering question:

Am I still headed in the direction I actually want to go?

Josh digs into what life has taught him so far — and what he still wants to fix. Patience. Ego. Old habits that show up wearing new costumes. The uncomfortable work of slowing down long enough to hear the truth you’ve been avoiding.

We also follow Josh through different cities — from LA to New York to Nashville — and into the world of people living on the margins. He reflects on how homelessness looks and feels different from place to place, and what happens when you stop walking past people and start listening to them.

Then there’s the night in Seattle.

A quiet bar. A strange conversation.

And a mysterious man who calls himself:

“The Architect of Time.”

Was he a philosopher? A drifter? Something else?

Or just someone who showed up at the exact moment Josh needed to hear what he said?

Episode one sets the tone: curious, vulnerable, funny, occasionally weird — and always searching.

Follow, subscribe, and come along for the journey.
