In S4Ep20 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with blossoming all distance runner, passionately unique cinematographer & digital creator, altruistic combat veteran and papa bear extraordinaire Joshua Hubbard who has been preparing for the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday October 27th, 2024. 

Tap in to learn more about the origins of Joshua’s running journey as the lads discuss why his experiences both as a military veteran and as an artist have shaped his outlook on the sport. Whether he is out for a fun run, filming content for his YouTube channel or pushing towards some kind of lofty goal, Joshua’s perpetual permeation to uplift others along the way is distinctive and inspiring.

Things get vulnerable in a very real way when Joshua opens up about his experience as a combat veteran and delves deep into the numerous challenges that veterans face. From struggling to reconnect with societal norms, to survivors guilt, to hesitation to seek the help they need, to suicide - the list of obstacles for those who have served this country is long, intimidating and disheartening. Although the realities that lie ahead for those who transition from soldier to civilian are harsh, learn how Joshua has leveraged his love for the digital arts and his new found love for running to help provide him an outlet to reflect on what’s important moving forward. The impact he leaves on his family, the military community, the running community, and all others who are part of his story remains paramount in his pursuit to find and maintain the best version of himself. Running for a reason - a phrase Joshua has coined and made his ethos when approaching the sport, and a practice he hopes to be lifelong with aims of being qualitative rather than quantitative.

Errr, just how much does Joshua love a good run streak?! The Murph?? Ummm is Joshua the most photogenic runner in all of Michigan?! What the hell are go-fasters?? The vlog-verse?! Wait wait wait… did Joshua run his first two marathons WITHOUT pooping beforehand?! Devil dogs, Liverpool & micro-influencers, oh my!

This and so much more in this unique, educational & galvanizing episode of the PRP!
