EP 75: Leadership Is Lonely | The Weekly Mile

In this episode, Josh tackles one of the most surprising and painful parts of growth: loneliness. There comes a moment in every man’s journey where he starts doing the hard work—breaking old patterns, raising his standards, getting serious about his faith—and suddenly realizes he feels more isolated than ever. Old friendships no longer fit. New ones haven’t formed yet. And the “in-between” can feel discouraging, confusing and heavy.

Josh shares a story from a recent church retreat, where a student described this exact tension with raw honesty: “Even though I’ve grown so much… I’ve never felt more alone.” That moment becomes the heartbeat of the episode as Josh walks through why this loneliness happens, why it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong, and how it often signals that God is refining you for deeper relationships and a clearer purpose.

You’ll learn how to navigate this season with resilience, how to lean into Jesus’ teaching about the narrow road, and how to keep developing your Strength, Tribe, Expertise and Praise—even when the path feels quiet.

If you’re leveling up your life and feeling the weight of walking alone… this episode reminds you that you’re not alone—and you’re right on track.
