FINDING ME with Josh Wolf
What happens when a comedian stops trying to be “on” — and just tells the truth? Comedian JOSH WOLF steps out of his comfort zone to do a daily audio-video journal that leads you to the most important part of you. Authenticity.
FINDING ME with Josh Wolf is a daily, no-filter audio-video journal about holding yourself accountable and become the best version of yourself.
Every day, Josh opens the mic and talks honestly about where he showed up, where he fell short, and what he’s still trying to figure out:
• parenting wins and failures
• marriage highs and lows
• health, discipline, and the days he loses that battle
• creative risks, bad ideas, and quiet victories
• money stress, family drama, old fears that won’t leave
• the dog, because of course the dog
It isn’t polished.
It isn’t curated.
And it definitely isn’t “self-help.”
But every day, it’s honest.
Because accountability isn’t a speech — it’s a habit.
Josh isn’t your guru. He isn’t your therapist. He’s a flawed human documenting his personal journey to accountability and authenticity… and he’s inviting you to walk alongside him.
Some days you’ll laugh harder than you expect.
Some days you’ll feel seen in a way that sneaks up on you.
Some days, it may hurt — in the best possible way.
Because being human is messy.
And instead of pretending he has it all together, Josh is choosing to document the mess — in real time — and hold himself publicly accountable.
No filters.
No skipped days.
No pretending anyone has the answers.
If you’ve ever wondered whether everyone else is secretly struggling too… They are.
And here, nobody has to hide it.
We’re figuring this out together.

St. Patrick's Day in Vegas
Mar 1800:19:01Tap to summarize🎧 Finding Me — Episode 53 - St. Patrick’s Day in Vegas In Episode 53 of Finding Me, Josh checks in from Las Vegas after performing a comedy show on St. Patrick’s Day—a holiday that, as it turns out, is not exactly prime time for comedy clubs. Because let’s be honest… no one comes to Las Vegas on St. Patrick’s Day to see a comedy show. The crowd was light. But the city? The city was very festive. Josh and Jacob leaned fully into the celebration as they marked Jacob’s birthday in classic Vegas fashion. Good food, good laughs, and the kind of chaotic holiday energy that only Las Vegas can provide. And here’s the interesting part… Despite the smaller crowd, Josh says it ended up being one of his best sets. Why? He believes it’s because of this show. The daily practice of sitting down, talking honestly, reflecting on life, and showing up consistently has started to produce some real-world results. Josh feels more grounded on stage, more present, and more connected to his voice as a performer. In fact, the impact has been so noticeable that Josh has stopped writing in his traditional journal altogether. This show is the journal now. It’s where the thoughts go.It’s where the reflection happens.And increasingly, it’s becoming a tool that’s shaping his life in real time.

Mar 1700:17:41Tap to summarize🎧 Finding Me — Episode 52Aging with Grace (…and a Few Sound Effects) In Episode 52 of Finding Me, Josh takes a moment to reflect on something we’re all doing whether we like it or not: Getting older. But here’s the thing—Josh is actually doing a pretty good job of aging with grace. Sure, there are a few new developments. For example, he now makes little noises when he stands up. Also when he sits down. And occasionally when he bends over to pick something up. But other than the new soundtrack of middle age, life feels… good. There’s a calm in his life now. A sense of peace. A deeper appreciation for the small things. But if there’s one thing that truly makes Josh feel old, it’s not his back or his knees. It’s the age of his kids. Because somehow—without asking anyone’s permission—they’ve grown up. And Josh could swear that just yesterday they were toddlers running around the house, needing help tying their shoes and asking questions about everything. Now they’re adults. And time, as always, moved faster than anyone expected. It’s a thoughtful and funny episode about perspective, family, and the strange realization that aging isn’t always about feeling older—it’s about watching the people you love grow up right in front of you.

Transcribe →Forget About Fear
Mar 1600:15:59Tap to summarize🎧 Finding Me with Josh WolfEpisode 51 — “Forget About Fear” In today’s episode, Josh shares a reminder he’s constantly giving himself—don’t let fear of an outcome change who you truly are. Fear has a funny way of creeping into our decisions. It makes us second-guess ourselves, soften our opinions, hold back our personality, or avoid taking chances altogether. But Josh believes the moment you start letting fear shape your behavior, you stop showing up as the person you’re meant to be. So the message today—maybe mostly to himself—is simple: Forget about fear. Also on this episode: Josh and Jacob just got back from Georgia, and let’s just say… the food did not disappoint. From the local spots to the late-night eats after shows, the trip turned into a full-on culinary adventure. We also get an update on Beth, who’s currently in Louisiana directing her latest film and absolutely crushing it on set. And speaking of celebrations, plans are coming together for Jacob’s upcoming birthday bash, which Josh promises will be memorable… though perhaps not entirely well-organized. Fear, food, filmmaking, and birthday chaos—just another day on Finding Me.

Transcribe →FIFTY Days of Showing Up
Mar 1300:15:01Tap to summarize🎧 Finding Me with Josh WolfEpisode 50 — “Fifty Days of Showing Up” Today marks a milestone. For fifty straight weekdays, Josh has kept a promise to himself: show up and record the podcast. No excuses. No skipped days. Whether he’s in an airport, a hotel room, his office, on the couch, in the kitchen, or walking the dog—Josh has hit record and kept the streak alive. And something interesting has happened along the way. His life has gotten… better. There’s something powerful about consistency—about making a small commitment to yourself and honoring it every single day. Fifty days later, Josh feels the momentum, the discipline, and the quiet confidence that comes from simply doing what you said you’d do. Josh is also riding high for another reason: Thursday night comedy shows. In his opinion, Thursday is the best night of the week to perform. That’s when the real comedy fans come out—the people who want to laugh, who know the rhythm of a live show, and who bring the energy that makes the whole room electric. And speaking of chaos in public places… Josh shares a moment from the airport that had him cracking up: his friend Jacob absolutely losing his mind as random travelers kept stopping in the middle of the walkway and creating a full-blown human traffic jam. If you’ve ever traveled through an airport, you know exactly the type. Consistency, comedy crowds, and the universal mystery of people who just… stop walking. All that and more on Episode 50 of Finding Me.

Transcribe →Who Is This Show For?
Mar 1200:16:02Tap to summarizeEpisode 49: Who Is This Show For? In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh wrestles with a question that has been sitting quietly in the back of his mind: Should he share this podcast with his larger audience? Right now, the show feels small, personal, and honest — almost like a daily conversation with a handful of people who just happened to pull up a chair. But what happens if that changes? Would bringing the show to a larger audience help more people consider going on the same journey of reflection and self-discovery? Or would the attention make the whole thing feel too performative? Josh talks through the tension between authenticity and exposure, wondering whether expanding the audience might accidentally change the tone that makes the show feel so real in the first place. Because once you start thinking about the crowd… it’s harder to forget the microphone. 🐶 A Conversation With His Dog (Sort Of) Josh also shares one of life’s quieter, oddly comforting habits — talking to his dog. Except… it’s not really talking. It’s more like communicating. Dog owners understand the difference. You say things. The dog looks at you. Somehow you both understand exactly what’s happening. No words required. 🏋️ The Gym… and the Shorts That Revealed Too Much And then there’s the gym. Josh describes a recent encounter with a guy whose workout shorts were so tight they left absolutely nothing to the imagination. You know the type. The kind of outfit that seems specifically designed to ensure that everyone in the room becomes unwillingly aware of anatomical details they did not ask to see. There are gym outfits… …and then there are announcements. This one was definitely the latter. 🎧 Call to Action If today’s episode resonated with you: ⭐ Follow and subscribe so you don’t miss a daily check-in 📝 Leave a review or comment — Josh reads them 📲 Share this episode with someone who might enjoy a little honest reflection (and the occasional gym observation) 🎙️ And remember: sometimes the best journeys begin with a simple question — who are we really doing this for?

Transcribe →Remembering a Friend
Mar 1100:17:28Tap to summarizeFinding Me with Josh Wolf Episode 48: Remembering a Friend ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and loss. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the United States, you can call or text 988, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, to connect with trained counselors 24/7. You are not alone. In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh opens up about the memory of a friend he lost to suicide — and a dream that recently brought that friend back into his thoughts in a powerful way. Dreams can do that sometimes. They pull people from the past into the present for a moment, reminding us how much they meant to us and how deeply their absence is still felt. Josh reflects on the complicated emotions that come with losing someone this way — the sadness, the unanswered questions, and the strange comfort of those moments when memories resurface unexpectedly. It’s an honest and heartfelt conversation about grief, friendship, and the way the people we lose continue to live inside our stories. Remembering the People We’ve Lost Josh talks about how memories and dreams can reconnect us with people who are no longer here, sometimes years after they’re gone. Those moments can be bittersweet — painful reminders, but also reminders of the joy and connection those friendships once brought. Loss changes us. But remembering someone can also be a way of keeping a small part of them with us. And Then… The Human Comedy of Falling Down Because life rarely stays in one emotional lane for very long, the conversation eventually shifts into something completely different — one of the great unsolved mysteries of human comedy: What is the funniest accidental fall in public? Josh weighs the possibilities: Tripping over your own dog Slipping on ice Missing the last step on a staircase The classic curb miscalculation There’s something about a harmless, unexpected fall that has made people laugh since the beginning of time. Maybe it’s the surprise. Maybe it’s the shared experience. Or maybe it’s just the universal truth that gravity always wins. Josh wants to know: What do you think is the funniest accidental fall? 🎧 Call to Action If today’s episode resonated with you: ⭐ Follow and subscribe so you don’t miss a daily check-in 📝 Leave a review or comment — Josh reads them 📲 Share this episode with someone who might appreciate an honest conversation about grief, friendship, and life’s strange moments 🎙️ And remember: the people we’ve lost may be gone from the world, but they’re never completely gone from the stories we carry with us.

Transcribe →The Voice in Your Head
Mar 1100:18:57Tap to summarizeEpisode 47: The Voice in Your Head In today’s episode of Finding Me, Josh takes a hard look at something many of us do every day without even realizing it — talking negatively to ourselves. Not out loud, of course. But in that quiet, running commentary inside our heads. You know the voice. The one that says you should’ve done better… that you’re not good enough… that everyone else has things figured out except you. Josh admits he’s caught himself doing it more often than he’d like — criticizing himself in ways he would never speak to another human being. And it raises an important question: If we wouldn’t say these things to someone we love… why do we say them to ourselves? 🧠 The Problem With Negative Self-Talk Josh reflects on how even a small amount of negative self-talk can quietly chip away at confidence, happiness, and motivation. Because that internal voice is always listening. And if the message it hears over and over again is negative, eventually it starts to believe it. So today’s reminder is simple: Notice it. Catch it. And try to stop it. Or at least don’t let it run the whole show. 👨👩👦 Gratitude and Perspective From there, the conversation turns to something Josh has been thinking about a lot lately: gratitude for family. He talks about how lucky he feels to still have his parents in his life and how meaningful it is to spend time together — something that becomes more valuable the older we get. It’s the kind of perspective that sneaks up on you. When you’re younger, you assume those moments will always be there. Then one day you realize… they won’t. 😂 Why Josh Would Never Go Back to His 20s Josh also tackles a topic that surprises some people: he has zero interest in going back to his twenties. Not even a little. Sure, you might have more energy and fewer responsibilities — but you also have something else: confidence without experience. In other words… Twenty-year-olds are confidently stupid. And while that confidence can be entertaining, it’s not something Josh is eager to relive. These days, he’ll take perspective, family, and a little wisdom over youthful certainty any day of the week.

Transcribe →Dinosaurs
Mar 900:17:20Tap to summarizeEpisode 46: Dinosaurs, Mushrooms, and the Meaning of Everything Sometimes perspective comes from a book. Sometimes it comes from a conversation. And sometimes… it comes from eating a few mushrooms and watching a Netflix documentary about dinosaurs. In this episode of Finding Me, Josh shares the moment he had what can only be described as a cosmic realization while watching a documentary about prehistoric life. As the scale of time started to sink in — millions upon millions of years — something clicked. Dinosaurs ruled this planet for over 160 million years. Humans? We’ve barely been here for a blink. Josh talks about how that realization hit him in a surprisingly freeing way. If our time here is so incredibly short compared to the vast sweep of Earth’s history… why do we let so many small things ruin our day? Why hold on to stress, resentment, or fear when the truth is that we’re all just temporary visitors on a very old rock floating through space? Instead of worrying about every little problem, Josh makes the case for a different approach: Accept how small we really are in the grand scheme of things Stop letting trivial frustrations dominate our lives Use the limited time we have to create moments worth remembering Because if dinosaurs could dominate the planet for millions of years and still disappear… we might want to make the most of the time we’ve got. Josh’s takeaway is simple, but powerful: Don’t waste your time here. Laugh more. Take chances. Do things that matter to you. Create memories that make the whole ride worthwhile. We may not be here very long… but that doesn’t mean the time can’t be incredible.

Transcribe →The Evolution of my Comedy
Mar 600:12:00Tap to summarizeFinding Me with Josh Wolf Episode 45: Finding the Rhythm Comedy changes over time — especially when the comedian does. In this episode of Finding Me, Josh reflects on how his style on stage has evolved over the course of his career. Early on, his comedy was big, loud, and wildly animated. Sometimes… a little too animated. It worked, it got laughs, but it also came from a place of trying to prove something. These days, the energy is different. Josh talks about how he’s become calmer and more comfortable on stage. The pacing is more natural, the confidence is deeper, and the performance isn’t about pushing as hard as possible anymore. That said — if the moment calls for it — he can still crank the energy right back up. Because sometimes the joke needs it. Josh also talks about the parts of comedy that bring him the most joy today: Interacting with the audience and letting the show evolve in real time Playing guitar on stage, blending music and comedy in ways that keep things fresh Finding the rhythm of a crowd and following where the laughs lead But the moment that means the most to him now happens when he’s not alone on stage. Performing alongside his son, Jacob has become one of the most meaningful parts of Josh’s career. Sharing that experience — the jokes, the music, the crowd, and the chaos of live comedy — has added a whole new layer to what performing means. Because sometimes the best part of the show isn’t the laughs. It’s who you get to share them with.

Transcribe →Must Love Dogs
Mar 500:15:26Tap to summarizeFinding Me with Josh Wolf Episode 44: Must Love Dogs In this episode of Finding Me, Josh starts down one path and—like most great conversations—ends up somewhere completely different. It begins with stories about some of the dogs he’s owned through the years. The loyal ones. The ridiculous ones. The dogs that behaved like saints… and the ones that behaved like tiny, furry criminals. Along the way, Josh reflects on the strange and wonderful bond between humans and dogs, and why those relationships tend to stick with us long after the chew toys are gone. Then the conversation shifts to someone who has become a surprisingly important part of Josh’s life: his personal trainer. Josh talks about the motivation, accountability, and unexpected friendship that can develop when someone is responsible for pushing you to be better—especially when you’d much rather be sitting on the couch. But somewhere between dogs, workouts, and life lessons… Josh loses the thread completely. Which, honestly, might be the most honest part of the whole episode. It’s a funny, wandering, and very human conversation about memory, aging, loyalty, discipline, and the small moments that end up meaning the most.
