Josh Perry shares the untold story behind his career — including facing a life-threatening brain tumor, walking away from professional BMX, and rebuilding his identity from the ground up.

In this episode of The F’ing Up Podcast, we explore what it means to confront your own mortality, let go of the identity you thought defined you, and find purpose on the other side of uncertainty.

If you’ve ever experienced a major life disruption, identity shift, or been forced to start over, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Topics include:

Facing a life-altering diagnosis and uncertainty
Letting go of identity and redefining purpose
Rebuilding your life after everything changes
Mental resilience and perspective through adversity
Finding meaning beyond achievement and performance

This is the side of success most people don’t talk about.
