Overcoming The Odds
Overcoming The Odds, hosted by Josh Coyne, is a bi-weekly interview format podcast where Josh talks to people living and thriving with unconventional circumstances. As an adult born with a terminal lung disease, Josh knows the struggles of life and what it takes to not only be a survivor, but also thrive. Overcoming The Odds takes a deep dive into the lives of people who, similar to Josh, do not lead a "normal" path because of how they were born or what happened to them along the way. Josh talks to guests that range from Doctors with migrant roots to cancer survivors, addiction experts, accident survivors and more. Together with these guests, he explores the hurdles they have had to overcome in order to be where they are today. The goal of this podcast is to help just one person, one listener, feel better about themselves and to realize they are not alone. Other people go through the same struggles daily on their journey to overcome the odds. 🙏Like what you hear and want to support future episodes of this pod?
