episode 49 - Joshua cogan

On today’s show I'm talking with Josh Cogan, a dear friend and wise soul who I think has some really helpful insights about the experience we are all going through right now as a global community. Josh is an Emmy-award winning photographer, story teller, and anthropologist. His work is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, where he also lives and shoots for National Geographic and the United Nations, among many others. Josh has spent the last decade intimately involved with various infectious diseases all over the world covering stories for the World Health Organization, so his perspectives on the current global pandemic are especially interesting.

Josh is also a mindfulness Jedi, studying under the likes of heavy weights like Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. He focuses on helping men who struggle with the intense pressure to succeed, feelings of isolation and loneliness, and/or lack of time and direction to focus on what really matters. This topic has resonated with me on many levels, so much that I’ve joined as a core contributor to a project called Journeymen, which helps create community, dialogue, and adventure for men in the modern world. 

I hope you find this conversation to be as insightful and replenishing as I did.
