#74: Josiah Hein: A Life-Altering Moment That Changed Everything

Josiah Hein is one of those people who lights up every room he walks into. But behind the energy and laughter is a story most people never hear.

In this episode, we dive into the transformation that took place when Josiah became a father just 23 days before we recorded. We talk about the pressure that comes with showing up for your family, the insecurities that ruled his younger years, and the moment everything shifted when he felt the love of God for the first time.

From growing up in Canada and hustling from the age of 10, to losing his sister in one of the most painful moments of his life… to finding confidence not from validation, but from love, this convo was truly powerful.
