Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!
“The whole book is about me finding happiness in my own way, and what it looked like for someone like me to walk through what I did, be it losing 100 pounds, or facing drug and alcohol addiction and then eventually pivoting in my career. It was all of these things that allowed me to find what happiness was for me, and then redefine it.” – Josh Peck
Today’s Finding Brave guest shares his view that happiness is beside the point, and life is really all about finding contentment through relationships, curiosity, and connection. He is ready to chip away at the glitz and glamor to expose the highs and lows of his journey as an actor and influencer, and I could not be more excited to share this candid and thought-provoking conversation with you today.
Josh Peck has established himself as one of Hollywood’s rising talents, making the transition from child actor to leading man, and social media influencer. Best known for his role on the Nickelodeon phenomenon Drake & Josh (2004-2007) for which he received a Kids’ Choice Nomination, Josh has starred in feature films such as Mean Creek alongside Rory Culkin, The Wackness beside Ben Kingsley, Red Dawn alongside Chris Hemsworth, Danny Collins with Al Pacino, Annette Benning, and Jennifer Garner, Take The 10 with Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen, and Netflix’s The Musical, co-starring Debra Messing, out later this year. In 2023, Josh will co-star in Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Oppenheimer.
Currently, Josh is featured in Disney Plus’ Turner and Hooch series, a continuation of the 1989 Tom Hanks film of the same name, and stars in the highly anticipated Hulu series, How I Met Your Father, and in the iCarly Reboot on Paramount+.
With 32.8 million fans across numerous social media platforms, Josh successfully leveraged his talents from acting, to podcasting and more, and is the author of the new memoir Happy People Are Annoying, out in bookstores March 15th. His book is a candid memoir sharing Josh’s reflections on the many stumbles and silver linings of his life and traces a zigzagging path to redemption.
Personally speaking, I have a great deal of gratitude for Josh for some very happy memories I have – of the hours of hilarity my children and I experienced together watching Drake & Josh. Those are precious memories for me that my grown kids and I share. His unique style of humor – with such exuberance, joy and insight – is a gift to the world. Check out the full 2-part series with Josh, as he gives us a deep look at what he’s learned about the true meaning of happiness.

Do you run a coaching business that focuses on supporting professional women? If so, I’ve got some news.
Right now, we’re opening the enrollment of my coach training program called The Amazing Career Coach Certification, which is a 17-week, hands-on training program that certifies coaches in my proprietary 16-step career growth model, which is perfect for coaches and helping professionals who want a deeper dive into powerful, proven coaching frameworks, concepts, and skills that will help you become far more effective in working with professional women globally.

QUOTES FROM TODAY’S SHOW:
“I would watch my mother throughout my whole life sort of take over a room and spit out a great joke that she had heard. So to me growing up, comedy had value and there was a social currency to it.” [7:38]
“There have been moments in my life where I leaned on the snarky cynicism [in comedy], but I don’t wear it well and it doesn’t look good on me.” [8:38 ]
“I spent so much of my life assuming that a manual had been given out at birth on how to navigate the ups and downs of life, and I was just not privy to that. [I thought] somehow mine got lost in the mail.” [10:04]
“A lot of kids will go through an awkward teenage phase and then they’ll burn their yearbooks and swear their family to secrecy, but my yearbooks are in reruns.” [12:53]
“[With Drake & Josh] I was publicly introducing myself to the world in a body that I didn’t want them to know me in.” [13:20]
“To just be okay today has taken me 20 years of work.” [18:57]
“The bad times are here to teach us and the good times are here to remind us what we’re fighting for.” [19:11]

IS YOUR ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND SUPPORTING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN AND OTHER UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS TO SUCCEED AND THRIVE IN YOUR WORKPLACE?
IF SO, PLEASE ASK YOUR LEADERS TO SPONSOR THE MOST POWERFUL YOU COURSE/TRAINING FOR YOUR WORKFORCE TODAY!
Is your organization committed to supporting the growth and success of women and other underrepresented groups in your workforce? If so, do they offer opportunities for powerful hands-on career growth and leadership training that addresses the real-world challenges that these groups face in the workplace and in their careers that are often different from what men typically face?
I’m so thrilled that recently, a division of the United Nations recently sponsored several memberships to The Most Powerful You course for their staff members and what a powerfully supportive move that is, to bring real-world effective career and leadership training to professionals in their work cultures, to help them thrive and succeed and the highest level possible in their work and projects.
Coaching so many professionals and leaders as I do each year, I see that leadership and career growth training programs today are so often NOT effective because they simply don’t go deep enough to address what really holds us back from thriving, believing in ourselves, recognizing our talents and abilities, communicating effectively, asking for what we need, saying “STOP!” to mistreatment, building a great support community, and making the true impact we long to.
I’d like to make this request of you today:
Please take a look at what I’m teaching in The Most Powerful You course, which is the digital companion course to my book The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss, now being translated into Chinese, Arabic and Polish, and designated a top leadership book by the Leader to Leader journal and among the TOP 5 books for productivity, innovation, confidence-building, addressing stress and burnout, helping new grads make a “dent in the Universe” and more by The Next Big Idea Club.
If you feel that this content — about 7 most damaging power gaps that prevent 98% of women and 90% of men from reaching their highest potential and most thrilling and rewarding goals and how to close those gaps for good — would be helpful for you personally and for the people at your organization, I hope you’ll ask your leaders, supervisors, HR leaders, DEI managers and Learning & Development staff and ERGs to sponsor memberships of this course for you and other staff, so you can all thrive at the highest level in your roles and organizations.
And as always, please feel free to join the course directly!
Thank you so much for taking a stand for your best and happiest life, and here’s to becoming The Most Powerful You!
