In this episode, Josh shares a lesson that changed the way he handled conflict, stress, and tough interactions on and off the job. Early in his career, he took every insult and every angry moment as a personal attack. Over time he learned that most people aren’t reacting to you as a person, they’re reacting to the situation, their own stress, or their own history. Josh breaks down how separating your identity from the moment helps you regulate your emotions, avoid unnecessary conflict, and stay clear-headed when others aren’t. It’s a skill that improves leadership, communication, and personal relationships.
