Finding Me with Josh Wolf

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.
