In this episode, I sit down with my friend Wayne Herring — creator of Business Builder Camp, leadership coach, dad, recovering addict, and one of the most intentional people I know.

We talk about coaching business leaders, chasing inspiration, and why the best breakthroughs often begin with, “This might sound crazy, but…”

Wayne opens up about staying grounded in long-term recovery, and grieving the recent loss of his grandfather — the man who raised him. It’s raw, thoughtful, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from showing up fully in life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, or just looking for something deeper — this one’s for you.

We’re here for all of it.

In this episode, Josh sits down with Emily Gardner — communications director, podcast co-host, pastor’s wife, mom of two, and professional juggler of all the things (official title pending).

They dive into the real stuff: navigating anxiety while raising tiny humans, grieving the loss of someone you love deeply, and trying to hold it all together (or not) when life gets overwhelming. It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s full of those “me too” moments we all need.

From belly laughs to hard-won wisdom, Emily shares how she's learning to show up for her family, her faith, and herself — even when the road gets messy.

If you’ve ever wrestled with mental health, grief, parenting, or just staying human in a crazy world — you’re going to feel right at home here. We’re here for it.

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.
