Building Character with Josh Chapman

from Spread The Positive Podcast · host Spread The Positive Productions

Josh Chapman was born 3 months early and breathed through a straw. He now fixes chainsaws and works at Home Depot.   Trent sits down with Josh and his sister Katie taking it all the way back to expand his airway. Katie explains why that matters today: Josh's normal breathing is basically breathing through a straw, so physical activity is hard, but you would never know it watching him work.   From there it turns into pure Josh. He talks about the weed eater he found broken, how he took it home, and how he fixed it. He lays out the Josh Method, which is simpler than Marie Kondo: if it is not actively being used, it goes in the trash. The he speaks on seven years of stories from the Home Depot followed by the Big Texan 72oz steak challenge from the family's Amarillo trip.   FAQs   1. Who is Josh Chapman?  Katie Chapman's older brother and Trent's guest, a Home Depot veteran who was born three months premature and is a working miracle.   2. What happened when Josh was born?  He arrived three months early, his lungs collapsed, and he had emergency surgery where a rib was inserted into his trachea to expand his airway.   3. What is the Josh Method?  Josh's take on minimalism: if you have not actively used something in about a year or two, it goes in the trash. No clutter kept out of just in case.   4. What is the Big Texan steak challenge?  Eat a 72oz steak plus a shrimp cocktail, salad, baked potato, and dinner roll in one hour.   Watch to the end, meet Josh, and see why the title of this one had to be Building Character.
