What can I leave in the light if everything goes dark? Josh Yakes' vision is getting worse after 15 years of learning to manage achromatopsia, a rare genetic visual disability.

After losing his vision in his 20s and rebuilding his life, Josh shares what is changing now, how fitness helped him regain a sense of control, and why those experiences ultimately led him to build Conquer All Things.

In the first episode of Conquer Journal, Josh explores disability, vision loss, resilience, mental strength, community, and what it means to conquer when the fight is not over. Sometimes conquering means overcoming one excuse, moving through one obstacle, or doing one thing for yourself today that helps you keep going.

You are stronger and more capable than you know. No one fights alone.
