He Survived Leukemia Twice & 10 Heart Attacks – Josh Komen’s Story of Resilience

Josh Komen first appeared on the podcast in July 2022 and since then we have become good friends.

So, when he asked to come on the podcast again, of course I said yes.

Josh is such an epic human. He has been through so much and is one of the most positive and grateful humans I’ve ever met. Every time we connect, I leave the interaction feeling better about myself. So, I hope you guys get the same feeling after checking out this episode.

At 23, Josh Komen was once one of New Zealand’s fastest 800m runners chasing dreams of going to the Commonwealth Games, until life threw him the ultimate curveball: a leukaemia diagnosis that would change everything. Not once, but twice. And a bunch of heart attacks as well!

This is a small part of the Josh Komen story.

If you've ever felt broken, lost, or unsure of how to keep going. This conversation will remind you that even in the darkest moments, there is light.
