5 AM Clients, 4 Movies a Week, 1 Very Full Life | NYC Solo Update

Josh is back in New York for a solo catch-up: rebuilding his career and business after losing his manager and business partner, bringing back in-person clients, and turning years of free advice into a real consulting practice.He also gets honest about a reset that didn't go the way he planned, the plantar fasciitis that told him to slow down, what's coming in Phoenix and West Palm Beach, and why he's back in movie theaters.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS- Structure is what carries you through the hard season. Losing his manager and business partner meant rebuilding everything from the ground up — and Josh's answer wasn't to grind harder, it was to live by the calendar. The structure came first; the capacity followed.- You are allowed to not hit the goal. Josh set out to complete the holistic reset the way he normally does and didn't. He names it out loud instead of quietly editing it out — because the environment, the grief, and the rushed start all played a part, and pretending otherwise helps no one.- Rest is a business decision, not a reward. From six to eight in-person sessions a day at the Core Club to four or five now, scheduled around getting home early, eating early, and sleeping early — the schedule exists so clients get the sharpest version of him, not the most available one.- The body sends the signal before the breakdown. Plantar fasciitis showed up again after weeks of events, workouts, and short nights — and Josh had felt it coming in his gut long before his foot said it. The lesson isn't the injury, it's the intuition he overrode.- Balance means claiming both sides. Josh calls himself an ambivert — genuinely social, genuinely protective of his time alone. Not choosing between the two is what makes the pace sustainable. SPONSOR:This whole episode is basically one long lesson in what happens when you stop listening to your body. Weeks of events, late-night run clubs, 5 AM alarms, and travel — and then my feet finally spoke up. Plantar fasciitis, again. Not new information. Just information I'd been ignoring.Here's what I keep coming back to: recovery isn't something you bolt on at the end. It's what your body is doing every single day, quietly, whether you support it or not. My job is to give it the conditions to do that work — enough sleep, enough real food, enough downshift time, and the right inputs.STEMREGEN is one of those inputs for me. It's a plant-based supplement designed to support your body's own natural renewal and recovery processes — not to override them. That's why it fits how I train and how I live. I'm not trying to force an outcome. I'm trying to give my system what it needs to do what it already knows how to do, especially in a season where I'm asking a lot of it.If you want to try it, go to stemregen.co/josh and use code JOSH for 15% off.Link: https://stemregen.co/josh Code: JOSH (15% off)TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Back in NYC — and rebuilding after losing my manager02:25 New clients, 5 AM alarms, and the Core Club years04:46 Vivobarefoot, protecting sleep, and cleaning up the business07:05 Turning 15 years of free advice into a consulting practice09:23 The reset that didn't go as planned — and being honest about it11:47 Plantar fasciitis again: the signal I'd been ignoring14:12 Inside the Sands Point activation — foot scans and barefoot classes16:33 Sensory Movement, the book, and what's coming in Phoenix19:00 The SoHo store, more run clubs, and NYC's strange summer21:24 Back to the movies — and the AMC A-List math23:51 Obsession, online dating, and how well we know people26:18 The Odyssey, the star-power question, and dozing off28:40 Ambivert energy: balance, solitude, and keeping the conversation goingRESOURCES:- STEMREGEN (episode sponsor) — https://stemregen.co/josh — code JOSH (15% off)- Book a 15-minute consult with Josh — https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland- Vivobarefoot — https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/- VivoBiome 3D foot scan — https://vivobiome.vivobarefoot.com/- Othership (Williamsburg, Brooklyn) — https://www.othership.us/williamsburg- Pulse PEMF — https://pulsepemf.com/- Sands Point Preserve, Port Washington NY — https://www.sandspointpreserveconservancy.org/- Springbone Kitchen — https://springbone.com/- Eudēmonia Summit — Nov 5–8, 2026, West Palm Beach FL — https://eudemonia.net/- AMC Stubs A-List — https://www.amctheatres.com/amcstubs/alist- Joshua J.
