This is a worth-while podcast. Joshua is thoughtful and insightful. His guests are leaders and innovators in their fields and in the topic of courage. Highly recommended!

Joshua offers tons of wisdom, insights and encouragements for overcoming life’s limitations with courage. He is a great moderator inviting best in class thought leaders to share their wisdom and resources. Highly recommend listening to his podcasts. I am currently training with Joshua and find his podcast a beautiful addition to his teachings.
I love the Courageous Life. Joshua is a delightful host who brings powerful questions and an open heart. His interview with Sunita Puri is one I have come back to again and again and I know I will again. With every episode, I gain a few nuggets of life learning and expansion. Highly recommend!
