#236 Josh Levey — One month. 7,000 Waves. $100,000 Raised. One Big Purpose.

In this episode I’m joined by Newcastle surfer Josh Levey, who set himself a challenge that sounds almost impossible… surf 7,000 waves in one month.But this wasn’t about records or attention.It was about purpose.Josh took on the challenge to raise money and awareness for Soul Hub, a local homelessness charity supporting people doing it tough in his community. By the end of the month he’d raised over $100,000 and inspired thousands of people along the way.We talk about his upbringing and relationship with the ocean, the moment he realised he wanted to use surfing for something bigger than himself, and how a simple idea turned into a movement.Josh also opens up about the reality behind the highlight reel. The exhaustion, injuries, mental battles, early mornings, cold water, and the discipline it took to keep showing up every single day. What stood out most was how purpose can carry you further than motivation ever will.We finish by chatting about what the experience taught him about gratitude, perspective and community, and where he wants to take this impact next.This is a conversation about using what you love to help others, pushing your limits for a meaningful reason, and how one person’s commitment can ripple through an entire community.In this episode we cover: • Why Josh decided to surf 7,000 waves in 30 days • The link between purpose and mental resilience • The toughest physical and mental moments of the challenge • What he learned about homelessness through Soul Hub • The power of community support and accountability • What comes next after achieving something this bigIf you’ve ever wondered how small daily actions can turn into real impact, you’ll love this one.Follow JoshINSTAGRAMDonate to his record surf!Send @thegoodhumanfactory a DM on Instagram saying "I wanna join the club" to join our FREE mindfulness and gratitude accountability community :)1% Good Club Book!!The Good Human FactoryAmazonBooktopiaCooper's SocialsInstagramTikTokThe Good Human Factory LinksInstagramWebsiteMerch – Use code PODCAST for 25% OFFWorkshop EnquiryTHE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.
