Listen on

Episode notes

Born with cystic fibrosis, Josh was given 10% chance of surviving his first night due to complications. Growing up, he was told he wouldn’t make 30. At 32, he’s a World Record Holder, Ultra Athlete and International Motivational Speaker.

At 29, he completed the ‘Worlds Fittest Man Challenge’ to become one of only 5 in the world. 

The following year on 29th September 2018, he became the first and only man to lift 1,000,000kg’s in under 24 hours to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis, beating the old record by over 500,000kg’s.

On 7th October 2019, he took on his latest challenge and swam 21 miles in Dover Leisure Centre (1,353 lengths), then cycled from Dover to St. James’s Palace where he was invited by HRH The Prince Of Wales to rest and eat before running from London back to Cardiff. All in 5 days to raise money for CF Warriors and Rays Of Sunshine.

We discuss some great topics with Josh, including his early life, what motivates him and world records.
