What You Didn’t Know About Me

Something only few truly know about me.

The last few years have been challenging to me mentally and physically as I took a another life altering risk to create the life I desire.

I decided to leave my “first love”, as @jciake refers to it (BMX) as, behind in all aspects as I chased a new dream to serve and support through my journey, education, and perspectives.

I didn’t have a plan, just a vision I have dedicated my life too.

A ton of adversity presented itself as soon as I made the choice to design a new path in my life.

Some say I’m “lucky” to live the life I do but I don’t believe in luck, just choices.

I come from no money, no upper hand, a ton of adversity against me, and no handouts. I have contributed to make the same choice, challenge the status quo and being told “no”. I’ve just implemented dedication, grit, perspective, mental and physical strength, and a perspective to never see “failure” as failure but opportunities to learn and grow.

Some may have said “no” to me, mocked me, or straight up doubted me in any fashion.

I thank all of you for your love and support, your hate, your faith, you doubt, and anything in between.

The feeling I get from going on stage, others sharing their gratitude for my sharing, and others opening themselves to me (a complete stranger) after I open myself up free of judgement and only love.

I’m grateful for the choices I’ve made and the life I live.

I do all I do to share the possibilities that we all live with and can take advantage of as soon as we decide to allow ourselves to live the life we desire and believe we deserve.

If I can, we all can and I won’t stop sharing that perspective.

Choose the belief in yourself and the life you desire.

Keto Claims

Keto is becoming a hot word, and for good reason.

The problem with this is brands are utilizing the complexity of the ketogenic diet, ketosis, etc. to their advantage to make sells. That said, just because they slap a sticker saying “keto” on their packaging doesn’t mean it truly is keto and is doing what we expect the product to do/support us with.

Thanks to @ketogeniccom, a proper certification program has launched going off not just the macronutrient breakdown, but the ingredients and biological impact on blood sugar, the brain, and the body at their lab.

If you’re curious of the keto benefits, shoot me a DM.

Thanks @ryanplowery for the info graphic.

Risk For Purpose

Crazy ride @david_goodall and I have been on the last 3 years as we both took a massive risk leaving our comfort zone and source of income to fulfill a new dream fueled by purpose to serve others.

The potential I find we were missing out on based on limiting beliefs is crazy to reflect on as we now manifest new dreams, and some, now that we have focused on our purpose, the life WE want and believe WE deserve, and continue to take non stop action even when times get tough.

It’s only a dream until it’s accomplished and if anyone that looks like you did anything you want, you have a blueprint. Take action, don’t give up, and be very very clear on what you want to accept in your life.

Homework

I always have fear.

The difference is, I do the work (mentally & physically) to choose how fear contributes to my life.

Fear doesn’t own me, it’s just a thought. I use fear to guide me towards the things I must do in order to fulfill my purpose. I choose the thoughts by doing the mental work EVERY single day.

It starts with my “morning manifesto” and continues with the choices in who I surround myself with and the content I choose to consume.

I’m scared shitless every time I get on a stage, no matter the size.

But, I know it’s my calling and it’s necessary to succeed at fulfilling my purpose that I’ve devoted my life to.

Preparation is a form of being proactive and in this lists context, it’s being proactive of the fear of public speaking.

Few reasons as to why the fear is there, which is my ego trying to protect me from the unknown, is the fear of rejection & unworthiness.

I know it’s not true and even tho I may be shaking and my heart racing, I repeat my mantras to myself and focus on the vision. Just the same way I would when competition or doing a new trick for the first time.

I Flew To Australia To Tell My Mentor I Took His Advice

2 years ago, as I walked out of a Santa Monica hotel wrapping up one of the first “Unstoppable” podcast episodes with Kerwin, he told me to somehow and in someway manifest a full-time videographer to document my life and share valuable content with all of you.

This video was the moment I got to share with Kerwin that I made that happen and am going to continue investing into my purpose and business.

It’s an incredible feeling making money by doing what I love, even after BMX, and to be able to take care of my friends and family at the same time.

The only thing stopping us from reaching out full potential in life and any goal we may have is what’s inside our mind.

I am living proof that we can acquire the things we desire in life when that desire is strong, consistent, and we believe in that desire while working our asses off.

Persistence is How I Made It Here

Persistence to land a trick has taught me many invaluable lessons in life.

To accept this kind of pain just to land a trick on your bike changes you mentally and subconsciously in such profound ways.

I wasn’t aware of it in the beginning but in my last few years competing and progressing, I started to become conscious to what was going on.

Now I harness it all for my purpose to serve and support those around me and willing to hear what I have to say.

Manifestation > ______

This photo is a manifestation of non-stop action, a belief, clear purpose, authenticity, and open mindedness.

Manifestation – noun: an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea.

I couldn’t express what this moment means to me as @createdbybrian and I embark on a brand new journey filled with excitement, fear, adventure, gratitude, and much more.

Brian and I met 2 years ago as I aimlessly walked into the gym he was working at seeking a coach to help me properly train for BMX.

Later down the road we began to connect more and more via speaking about Gary V, content creation, purpose, and collaboration of exchanging value.

Sometime after that, I recorded a podcast with @kerwinrae. As I began walking out the door, Kerwin stopped me and said “Josh, somehow and in someway, you have to manifest someone to document your life and help create content”.

I am proud to say that a new partnership (more coming soon) has allowed me to manifest just what Kerwin advised me on and I couldn’t be more stoked to say that Brian is now officially apart of my team.

Brian is beyond talented, he’s authentic, passionate, supportive and encouraging, and he has overcome a ton of adversity in his life to design his life the way he envisions.

This photo means the world to me because I couldn’t be more proud of both of our hard work and dedication to make this a reality.

We’ve both been busting our asses for years and are ready to hustle and grind even harder as we enjoy the journey with nothing but gratitude, clear purpose, and a strong work ethic.

Thank you @brianundy and @ryanplowery for your belief in us.

What are you manifesting in your life?

Thank You, Prüvit.

Pure bliss because of all of you at @justpruvit KetoKademy & MØRE this past week in Orlando, FL.

I can’t stop sharing my love and gratitude for all of you and the energy you shared with me.

Like I said on stage, I never felt such a thing in all my years competing in the biggest events we have in our sport of BMX.

I can not wait to attend all the upcoming @justpruvit events and to be connecting with all of you even more.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my life, my heart, and my brain with your tribe @justpruvit @brianundy and the whole HQ team. Still buzzing off all the energy and then ketones.

Falling Down

We all fall down in life. Figuratively and literally.

BMX has taught me to always get up and try again.

This becomes subconscious when the DESIRE to succeed is so strong that you don’t see “failure” as an opportunity to quit, rather it becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.

Hitting the ground like this hurts but the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction for accomplishing the goal you set out for is a like no other.

The cool part about non physical times we “fall down” is that they don’t physically harm us.

I’ve proven to myself every day I’m strong enough to pick myself up and keep at it for the life I envision, no matter how much it hurts.

Are you proving yourself?
