Ep. 89: Courage Casts - Appreciate the Grind
In this short episode, Josh talks about what it really means to appreciate the grind, especially on the days when the work feels heavy. He explains how consistent effort, small wins, and a clear sense of purpose shape long term growth more than any big breakthrough moment. Josh shares how he reframes burnout by remembering the early days of the business when work was scarce, and how that perspective keeps him grounded and grateful during busy seasons. He walks through how to stay focused on the process, set achievable goals, and surround yourself with people who value effort. This episode is about seeing everyday work as an opportunity instead of a burden and training your future self through consistent discipline.
