Want to be on my podcast?

Have you ever thought about being a guest on a podcast. I invite you to consider applying to be a guest on my show, The Long Strange Trip: Business to Retirement to Death.

This isn't your typical business podcast – we're having real conversations about the three massive transitions many people face but rarely discuss honestly.

We explore what it looks like to build something meaningful without sacrificing your family, how to create a retirement that's about purpose instead of just filling time, and yeah, even how to face mortality in a way that's honest rather than terrifying.

I'm looking for guests who are willing to get real about their experiences – the mistakes, the lessons, the unconventional paths they've taken. We're not here to present the expert model with all the answers; we're seekers investigating together how to do these three phases differently from the default path society hands us.

If you're up for an honest conversation about navigating business, transition, and mortality with more intention and humanity, I'd love to have you on the show. Just click on the button below and set a time to talk with Josh to see if you would be a good fit for the show.

FAQS ABOUT THE LONG STRANGE TRIP

Why The Long Strange Trip

I've spent 40+ years building businesses and advising owners, watching the default path destroy what matters most. Now, facing my own health challenges and transitions, I'm convinced there's a better way. I don't have all the answers – but I'm done pretending anyone does. Let's figure this out together.

Why do you talk about business - retirement - death?

These are the three massive transitions every business owner faces but rarely discusses honestly. We work ourselves to death, panic about retirement identity, and avoid mortality until forced to face it. They're connected – how you do business affects retirement, and facing death clarifies both.

Why the focus on transitions?

Understanding transition stages changes everything. When you can name where you are – anticipation, ending, passage, or new beginning – you stop fighting reality and start navigating with intention. These patterns repeat throughout life. Learn them once, and you've got a map for every major change ahead.

Where does wisdom fit into the work you're doing?

Business owners accumulate decades of hard-won wisdom, then retirement hits and suddenly that experience feels worthless in a youth-obsessed culture. We're exploring how to share what you've learned in ways that actually get heard – bridging generations, staying relevant, and contributing meaningfully beyond your business years.

Why we need to be resilient while we age.

Aging guarantees change – health shifts, capacity diminishes, limitations appear. Without resilience, these changes break us. We're exploring how to build the flexible strength that lets you adapt instead of shatter, grieve losses without getting stuck, and keep finding meaning even when your body won't cooperate.
