Finding Me with Josh Wolf

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

Finding Me with Josh Wolf — Episode 15

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

The Mold Saga Continues… and a New Enemy Appears

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

Finding Me with Josh Wolf — Episode 13

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

Finding Me with Josh Wolf — Episode 12

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
