In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh talks about one of the biggest barriers to growth—the fear of looking stupid. Whether it’s walking into a gym for the first time, starting jiu jitsu, or stepping into a new role, most people quit before they ever start because they’re afraid of judgment.

Josh shares how every skill starts awkwardly, how humility is the foundation of real growth, and why embarrassment kills more dreams than failure ever will. Progress requires courage, not perfection, and sometimes that means being willing to look foolish on your way to becoming great.
