It’s finally happening. After years of producing and editing podcasts for other people, I’m stepping up to the mic with something that’s been on my heart and mind for a long time.

This is I’m Here For It — a space where big feels, bigger laughs, and zero fake vibes are always on the table. Welcome to the beautiful mess of what it means to be human. This podcast might just be the dose of authenticity you’ve been craving.

In this trailer episode, I (Josh Ott) unpack why I’m Here For It exists, where it came from, and what you can expect going forward. It’s been a long road — from a book release, to a massive life transition, to the chaos that made this moment possible.

I tell a story about being at the back of a mine in complete darkness — and how one flick of a light reminded me what hope feels like. That’s what this show is about: honest convos that flip the light back on. For anyone who’s ever felt alone, even in a room full of people—I get it. You’re not alone.

Plus, a few extra bits you can expect in future episodes:

• “What’s Living Rent-Free in My Head?” (this week: 80s music thanks to my kid’s school musical)

• “Did You See That?” (viral clips, stories, things we have to talk about)

It’s gonna be real, ridiculous, and (hopefully) really good.

Welcome to I’m Here For It. I’m glad you’re here too.
