Episode Overview

In this inspiring episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with Josh Allen—entrepreneur, father, husband, and now DEKA race finisher—for a powerful, on-site conversation at the Palmer Event Center in Austin, Texas. This episode captures Josh’s transformational health journey: from high stress and poor habits to purpose-driven living, physical renewal, and emotional freedom. What started with a decision to take ownership of his health turned into a redefining of his identity—and a testimony of what happens when you stop procrastinating and choose to live differently.

Josh shares how he lost over 30 pounds, dropped visceral fat, improved HRV, deepened relationships, and became an example to his family—all while balancing a fast-paced life filled with travel, business, and family obligations. It’s a raw, honest look at how true transformation starts from the inside out.
