Life often presents us with challenges that test our resilience, push us to our limits, and demand transformation. On the latest episode of The Second Chance Podcast, Jeff Robertson sits down with Josh Flower, a seasoned B2B sales professional turned mindset coach. Josh’s journey is a powerful testament to perseverance, self-discovery, and the belief that it’s never too late to change.

A Journey of Pain and Perseverance

Josh’s story begins in his early twenties when a back injury during a basketball game led him down a long, painful road of chronic pain and addiction. Struggling for nearly three decades, he sought help from countless doctors, physiotherapists, and specialists—only to find temporary relief before his pain would return. Over time, his physical limitations took a toll on his mental and emotional health, leading him to rely on painkillers, alcohol, and other vices as coping mechanisms.

Despite the setbacks, Josh refused to accept defeat. His determination to find a lasting solution led him to a game-changing discovery—an expert physiotherapist who helped him break free from the cycle of pain. Within weeks of working with this specialist, Josh began experiencing a level of relief he hadn’t felt in years. His body started to heal, his strength returned, and with it, his motivation to reclaim his life.

Breaking Free from Addiction

For years, Josh’s daily life included alcohol and marijuana, substances he used to numb both physical pain and emotional struggles. However, once he saw the progress in his recovery, he realized he had to make a clean break. One morning, he woke up feeling hungover and defeated. That was the moment he decided—enough was enough. He committed to sobriety, fitness, and a new mindset that would define the next chapter of his life.

The Power of Mindset and Daily Habits

Today, Josh is not only a thriving B2B sales professional but also a mindset coach, helping others break through their own barriers. His program focuses on:

  • Waking up early and creating a positive morning routine
  • Exercising daily, even if it’s just a walk or a few minutes of movement
  • Developing healthier eating habits and reframing thoughts about hunger
  • Identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with empowering beliefs

One of his most powerful mental shifts? Seeing hunger not as a discomfort, but as a sign that fat loss is happening. This small but profound reframe has helped Josh and his clients stay committed to their fitness and health journeys.

Lessons in Resilience and Hope

Josh’s story is a reminder that no matter how long we’ve been struggling, change is always possible. He spent nearly 30 years searching for answers, but once he found the right solution, everything shifted. His journey shows us that the key to transformation lies in persistence, finding the right guidance, and embracing discomfort as a stepping stone to growth.

Final Thoughts: What Would He Tell His Younger Self?

When asked what advice he would give to his younger self, Josh shared a powerful message: “The secret to happiness isn’t chasing pleasure and comfort—it’s embracing discomfort and growth. The more you pursue quick fixes, the more regret you’ll feel. But if you lean into the hard things, that’s where real change happens.”

Josh’s transformation serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with pain, addiction, or self-doubt. His story proves that second chances aren’t just possible—they’re waiting for those willing to fight for them.
