You guys have been asking, so I just decided to start asking myself. I’ve seen a lot of Rachel’s guys doing interviews and showing up on podcasts (granted, usually podcasts of other people in the franchise), but obviously production is allowing it, so I decided to reach out to one finally and got a yes. And Josiah Graham knocked it out of the park. I’ve done a lot of these for sure, but if you never listen to another podcast, I suggest listening to this 2 part interview with Josiah that will cover the next 2 weeks. What an impressive guy with an amazing story. We saw glimpses of it on the show, but Josiah really dives into that day back when he was young about finding his brother after he committed suicide. Then to see how Josiah turned his life around when everyone around him went in the other direction is pretty remarkable. It’s a story you don’t want to miss. Josiah isn’t big on Twitter, but he definitely reads his mentions as he told me that’s the only reason he signed on to Twitter. So as always, if you want to react to today’s podcast, please include Josiah’s Twitter handle (@JosiahDGraham) in your replies. Blown away by this guy’s story and I hope you are too. We’ve had a couple podcasts that have been just as long, but thought I’d try something new and split it up over the course of two weeks. Gonna do that with another one coming up as well. So sit back and enjoy Part 1 of my interview with Josiah Graham and let me know what you think.
