Joshua Busby on Thoughtfully Mindless

Dear TM Community,
I am excited to share the latest episode of Thoughtfully Mindless, featuring the inspiring story of Joshua Busby in "The Power of Hope: Joshua Busby's Journey." Known affectionately as "The Cookie Monster" due to his raspy voice from using a non-invasive mechanical ventilation machine, Joshua shares his remarkable journey of living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Despite immense challenges, Joshua's life is a testament to the strength of faith, courage, and an unwavering sense of hope.
Episode Highlights:
Joshua’s Journey: Explore Joshua's life with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and the daily challenges he faces.
Faith and Resilience: Discover how Joshua's faith has been a cornerstone of his strength and resilience.
Fatherhood's Impact: Learn about the profound impact of being a father and how it has inspired Joshua to keep pushing forward.
Community Support: Understand the critical role of community in Joshua’s life and how it has helped him navigate through tough times.
Message of Hope: Be inspired by Joshua’s message of hope and how he encourages others to find light in their darkest moments.
Whether you're looking for inspiration or seeking to understand the power of hope, this episode is sure to touch your heart and motivate you.
Joshua also joined as the guest speaker in a follow-up space on X, and you can listen to that here:
Upcoming Episode
Next Thursday, join me for an enlightening conversation with economist and financial advisor Mark Skousen in "A Brave New World: Mark Skousen on FreedomFest and Future Trends." Mark is the founder and producer of FreedomFest, the world's largest gathering of free minds, held in Las Vegas from June 9-13. This year's speakers include Rob Schneider, Robert Kiyosaki, Bret Weinstein, Michael Shellenberger, and many more. Mark shares his insights on the future of economics, the importance of real-world experience in education, and the exciting events planned for FreedomFest.
I will be releasing next week’s episode on Wednesday, instead of Thursday, so I’m not releasing on the 4th of July. I may start releasing on Wednesdays going forward after that. I hope you all have an amazing 4th of July!
Thank you all so much for being a part of this journey with me!
Stay curious and keep exploring with me on Thoughtfully Mindless.
Warm regards,
Artie
I'm constantly striving to be more grateful and to express my gratitude to those around me. I often get so caught up in my tasks that I forget to show my appreciation. I encourage everyone to take a moment and go to someone you love, and tell them what you appreciate about them and why you're grateful they're in your life.
